For better or worse (Sending pretenders)
 

i'm having lot of fun playing a small team game and was wondering if more people would be interested by this kind of game.

So the idea is to come with a mate to do a 2v2v2v.... game.
I dunno yet exactly how to set predefined starting loc, but i'll find out for this game :)

You can still subscribe if you don't have a mate and find one here later.

Settings (can be discussed):
Gems income: 55
HoF: 15
Renaming: ON
Else is default.
Turn pace: 56h
Diplo between teams: No rule
Mods : CBM / Streamers&standards / Singleagemod

Sorry... How do you play as a team? Is there a mod, or do people just say they're a team?

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Think of it as a binding diplomatic thing. Last team standing wins. Opens up a lot more options and fun imo since you get to co-ordinate with a comrade! I'd be jumping in but I'm in Bullocks other team game and it's going smashingly.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

You "just say" :)
But it remains very fun to play like Nosantee said.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

That would be a fantastic idea for a mod!

Basically the only way to work as a team currently is to simply make a binding diplomatic agreement at the start of the game.

However, I can see where an actual mod to help facilitate team play could help quite a bit, and I think a lot of people could enjoy team play too.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

I think I'd be up for giving it a go. Think I have a partner lined up too.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Tigercub and my self will have a go at this.

It'll be EA Abysia and EA Niefelheim for us.

Bring it on!

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Great ! it seems we have 3 teams atm.

I ll start writing down names then.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

I'll be Austen's partner. Don't have a nation selected yet.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Have you picked a map? How many total teams?

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

For right now, put Redfive and I down for Hinnom and Fomoria.

As far as settings and rules and whatnot, I'm not sure allowing Abysia and Nifelheim on same team is particularly healthy. It severely limits the nations that can reasonably be played as it's difficult to counter opposite auras and extremes like that.

I realize that's the entire point of picking those two nations for a team, but it rules out all sorts of options which is disappointing.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

I'm considering jumping in. If someone wants to play and needs a partner IM me. I would be interested.

Cheers!

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Concerning the map it will depends of the number of players. You can make suggestion.

I'm not planning to forbid any duo or nations atm, unless several players want it. Btw you can meet one of them on one side and the other one can't help directly, which i think is the most common situation.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

OMG...Whatever you do, do NOT take Matty as your partner.

He is trustworthy, a decent player and has a great sense of humour.

Personally, these are qualities I find disturbing!!!!!!

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

LOL...Thanks for the Endorsement!!

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

I know Holey is just bucking for a few extra pairs of SnakeSkin boots for his Giants in another game!

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

I guess that map and gamesize would be important. If there are only 3-4 teams on a wrapping map, then there is a very high chance that a team could have two borders with you. especially as they can cooperate to do just that.

Maybe go 6+ teams and a map that doesn't wrap? You could still get squeezed, but at least it would be a little less risky.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

personally i like wrapped map because you can't hide :)
But since i'm planning to set manually locations i don't mind.

6 teams would be very nice indeed. But 4 or 5 sound also good to me.

I'm waiting to hear from the others about map/settings/restrictions.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

I feel you on the map wrapping. thinking about maps like sixlands which only wraps one way, you are prob. going to be surrounded.

And it's not like it's unbeatable, but having to be able to counter heat auras and chill auras at the same time seems like it limits your choices for nations.

But I'm a noob too.. maybe its really easy to stop double blesses chill aura giants and fire aura swarms. I'll do some more research.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Any other player wanna join ?

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

If you guys don't want to wrap, land of legends would probably be a good map for this kind of game, the middle island has high sites for every province, is no start, and is the most valuable territory.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Getting my *** handed to me in another game so I should have time for a new one, and this would be a good opportunity to get one of my other friends into mp.

Will we have team starts (team members are next to each other like in 2v2 RTS games) or would it be completely random?

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Could be indeed a good map & fun to play !


Welcome in !
I'm planning to set manually the starting loc so you should be side by side.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

I think upon further review, we want to be EA Fomoria and EA T'ien Ch'i

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

I think Bannou and I will go for...
EA Agartha and EA Lanka

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Ok so we are looking for a mate to Matty and there is eventually a free slot for another team.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

I'll join, pick something for me that isn't too terrible (new to multiplayer). ;)

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Bob: I've got 1 guy who may want to play. Let me give him about another day or so...If he says no, then you and I can team.
Cheers!

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

I would be available, I believe that MA Ulm (the nation I am best with) could coordinate nicely with a nation that has strongish mages and available thugs.

I am fairly experienced though, I am not totally sure if this is supposed to be a "noob" game.
Lastly, I would recommend IRC for close coordination.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

I'll go with LA Man for now.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

k. The other guy is out...So I can team up with either of you.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Alright try to coordinate people to make a team and pick nice nations and it s a go.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Sent some PMs. Given that he was first its propably mattyburns choice :)

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Dang: tough decisions. I got your PM Mighty and I think we'd work well together. However Bob did ask first.

Bullock: If I team with MightyPeon, were you going to hold out for one more player to fill out 1 more team. I saw a guy in another post. Perhaps could grab him?

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Hey Id love to get in on the action if there is still room... Happy to play any nation..

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

This looks beneficial to everyone involved :)
If we are up to 12 players, Land of Legends would become quite the fight in a phone booth though.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Perfect. I can team with Mightypeon and Bobskizzle and Angry_hominid can be last team? Mighty, got your PM's. TOday and tomorrow are very hectic but as soon as I have time for a thoughtful response I will send your way. Cheers

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

I haven't played in a long time, but I've been looking for a game to join. Looks like you still need a player, right?

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Alright guys team up and pick nations.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Ok team with Bobskizzle or Anticipacent? This will be my first MP game, so I think I need to be with someone who is somewhat experianced....

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

ok. I'm EA Helheim with Mightpeon.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

I'll go EA Pythium with Bobskizzle if he's still in?

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

lol as if to illustrate how newb I am I have just realised there is no EA Pythium...... doh... change mine to EA Ctis then

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Ok im waiting a confirmation for the last team and it's a go.

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Very well, Till Lindemann of Ulm will join up with proud Helheimish Death Metallers to bring true good music to the world!

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Yessir

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Alright i guess now i have to work on the map :)

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

In the OP i ve uploaded a file with fixed spots.

i will give the password of the file after each team has chosen a color between : black red blue green yellow pink. (my team will get the last one)

Each color represent a team starting loc. (2 spots)


Cheers

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

BLACK for the Rammstein Nordish Death Metal alliance!

Re: For better or worse - Single Age - Teamplay - Recruiting
 

Could you switch me to LA Man? (I like them yay!) Thanks
