Re: Frashkart: LA game recruiting
 

what era?

Re: Frashkart : LA MP
 

Whoops. Late Age.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (recruiting)
 

I think that I would like to play LA Atlantis, please.

Is there any chance of CBM being used?

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (recruiting)
 

I'll talk it over with some of the guys that wanted to play. Some of them have an irrational dislike of mods in general, CBM in particular.

If CBM is used, it would probably be version 1.6, but at this stage, only the Assimilation mod is likely to be used.

Another player, from the Gaming Den forums.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (recruiting)
 

I could jump in as LA Ulm. But I would really like to see at least CBM 1.6. Having to juggle clams and bloodstones were never my kind of fun. And its hard to be competitive in the late game without them in vanilla.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (recruiting)
 

I'll tag along with Mictlan.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (recruiting)
 

I was just going to use the Assimilation mod for this game. If that deters people then I understand.

Updated the main post. I will post a llamaserver link for pretenders in a few hours.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

Oh right, your friend was going to play Patala right? Yea the earlier CBM versions really screwed them over. What with their reliance on clams and elephants. Oh well. We'll just have to rush them before they can get critical clam numbers!

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

Would you please be so kind to point me towards that Assimilation mod?
The link on Llama (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showpost.php?p=46696) doesnt lead to anything mod-shaped.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

The mod uploaded ok, but the link is pointing to the wrong post. I'll fire off an e-mail and see if it can be corrected.

link here and on 1st post.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

...Ermor checking in...

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

I'll give it til Thursday, then I'll start the game with the numbers we have.

I'm happy to delay if people think that it is appropriate.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

Would like to wait for the insane, so I'm not the only one with an kill on sight over my head.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

Naa. They are not kill on sight. Unlike Ermor were the problem just escalate the longer you go, LA Ry'leth actually have to pay upkeep for its freespawn. This in combination with its deadly dominion means that Ry'leth should be a harmless nuclear waste come midgame that can be safely domkilled because they cant replace their temples or recruit more mages due to negative income.

CBM fixed this problem but...

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

Guys, I'm gonna drop out of this game. I just can't deal with the lack of CBM mod for this game. It's going to turn into a complete cheese-fest, full of Gem Generation items, Tartarians, and lame tactics.

I'm out.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

Well, I would be out with CBM...
just to counter those CBM voices a little.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

I second the pro vanilla sentiments!

Also, I discovered a missing province link on our pangaea map, so opened up the editer to clean it up for a hypothetical version 1.1. After the editer was open though, one thing led to another, and I have given 90% of the provinces names based on the real world. If it is possible to change the map at this stage, might I recommend we use my newly edited version? If not I'm not particularly bothered, its just a cosmetic change, plus getting rid of a hidden choke point in 'North America'. Also that will mean I won't have to painstakingly go over the Siberia portion with google maps open :D.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

Sure thing. Upload the map if you like, then I can make the relevant change.

Otherwise, I guess I could re-open recruitment for this game and go from there.

I'm content to play with the revised map though. An advantage of fewer players is that turns will be revised faster.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

And we each get a bit more wiggle room. In the single player testing that I did, if you started in the west it could get a bit squished...

Since we are still waiting on the squid, I won't stay up to finish the map, but should have it done for tomorrow evening

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

Thank you, I appreciate your efforts.

I'll delay until the revisided map is available. Should be a good game.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

Bam!

And, because I'm an idiot, its on Llamaserver as "A Pangaean Earch 1.1" :S

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

BTW. Colonial, we are playing the same nations as in Last Rites...
*hmm*

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

oh wow, so we are :D

My build in last rites was i think very flawed, so I'm wanting to see if, as a more experienced player than those salad days, I can give the wolfmen the play through they deserve...

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

Thanks agains Corinthian. The game will start shortly. Please make sure you have a copy of the new map.

Any concerns, please et me know. Have fun!

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

No problem. I love taking credit for things.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

Couldn't have done it without Corinthian :P

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (design pretenders)
 

I am terribly sorry Colonial. I get peoples names wrong in conversation all of the time. Thank you for re-vamping the Pangaea map.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

No trouble, figured you meant me.

so about the map: if anyone can see a region they know more about the names of then I do, send me a PM with some better names and I will get a version 1.2 ready. If we get it good enough I will post it on the original thread. If anyone is from West Africa or Siberia, by any chance, that would be amazing. :P

Edit: I'm also unhappy with the northern region of Australia, and "northern Australia" isn't thematic enough...

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

Uluru Kata Tjuta is the name of a national park in the Northern Territory. Unfortunately, there is no indiginous name that refers to the entire region.

Marege was a name used by Macassan traders and fishermen for the Northern Coast.

Rennaisance cartographers refer to the hypothetical La Grande Jave, believed to be the northern extension of Terra Australis.

Hope this gives you some ideas

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

Thanks for the info, I think I'll go with Marege. I named the southern province Ularu, which stretches a bit into the central desert.

Also, I stale one turn, and that's the turn I get jumped?! Now its going to take me forever to crush your pathetic elephants :(

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

Seems I missed a connection in the Australia area. My apologies for that...


Also, is there any chance I can ask for an extension for the weekend, it looks like I will be heading for the countryside without internet until probably Sunday night. Sorry that I seem to be the weakest link when it comes to getting my turn in in this game :(

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

Sure. It's probably about time for the game to be extended in any event.

I'll set turn length to 60 hours, then reign it in at player's discretion.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

Thank you for the extension :D

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

Hey guys.

There's no such guy as 'Brock' on these forums, and I cant see 'Tigerblood' amongst players. :) How can I contact our Patala?

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

Brock opted out of this game once he heard mods were involved, so I went with Patala instead. Sorry for not updating the main post. He may be willing to sub if required. He does not have an active account on this forum.

If Mictlan wishes to discuss an NAP, compensation or war, feel free to message me. Patala plans on retaining the buffer zone around it's capital, however.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

I would like to see some hours subtracted from those 60 h.
Opinions from the other players?

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

Once the current issues with the game server have been resolved, I'll dial back the clock. Does 40 hours sound more reasonable? If not, give me a number and I'll make the change.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

40 Sounds OK, while I would like an even shorter timeframe I think I'm one of the few who does.

BTW. Llamaserver problems? It seems to work, at least it doesnt seem to be stuck.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

Current hosting interval is still at 60. The next will be 40.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread in case anyone needs this to be altered.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

Hi folks, thats me with diplomacy issues again. I've tried to contact Kakarotto and failed; is it possible to reach him somehow?

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

He also have another account at the other forum if he is not available here.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

He signed up from the Dom3mods forum

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

Agg! Bloody stall!

Can I in advance request a 24 hour extension, not for this turn but for next? I will probably be able to get it in for Sunday evening...

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

Not a problem. I'll extend the next turn.

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

10 min until Mictlan stalls, unless he wants to cut if very close...

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

Huh, Midgard stalled not Mictlan. Apparently I cant read...

Re: Frashkart : LA MP (running)
 

It's the Mi...

Turn length is back to 40 hours.
