Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Open (2/10)
 

I'd be interested in signing up for this game myself. It'll be either my first or second, so you can definitely call me a noob.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Open (2/10)
 

I would also like to join this game. I bought this game one month ago, so I am rather inexperienced, especially regarding tactis for the later stages of the game.

Since I am currently playing as Caelum and Arco in two other EA mp games, maybe you exclude them form the possible nation list when you assign me a nation.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Open (2/10)
 

Alright. I'm not home right now so I'll roll for you guys later tonight. A friend of mine just got the game too and wants to try it out. He's still waiting on forum confirmation though.

6 more to go

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Open (4/10)
 

I like the random nation idea so....time to try multiplayer. Sign me up.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Open (4/10)
 

Great Idea DarkAvenger! Not sure if I am going to jump in as I'm pretty busy. If a couple slots stay open I will soon.
CHeers

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Open (4/10)
 

Sounds like fun- I'd like in please! I've only played one MP game so far and its on turn 13 so far.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Open (5/10)
 

Alright. I've generated the rest of you guys' armies. If you want you can start designing your pretenders any time. For now we need to wait for 5 more until we can start the game up.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Open (5/10)
 

Ouch, what about me? I requested a spot too

(But english it's not my native language so maybe I was misunderstood)

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Open (5/10)
 

Oh yeah sorry. I'll put you in too

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Open (6/10)
 

Still waiting on 4 more. Any other people up to join?

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Open (6/10)
 

I'll give it a go, though I am NOT a noob, mind you I am also not that experienced or very good.

I have more than 10 games under my belt, three are finished, the rest are in varying degrees of my demise.

I'll let you make the call if I qualify. Whilst I think I do, I won't be offended if you think I don't.

Cheers.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Open (6/10)
 

ill play if your still taking people. Ive played 5-6 games of dominions 3 but havnt touched it in at least a year.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Open (8/10)
 

Awesome. I added you both in. Your nations are in the OP

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Open (8/10)
 

Random nations? Count me in!
I think, it will be my 10th MP game. :)

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Open (9/10)
 

Great. We only need one more

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Open (9/10)
 

..sure why not? Count me in too please.
Probably my 7-8th mp game over a span of... 3 years?

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Full! Choosing map...
 

Great! We're full. Now we just need to decide on a map. If no one has any suggestions I'll just pick a suitable one from the server map list.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Full! Choosing map...
 

Game is ready. I decided on Cradle of Dominion as the map. The name of the game is RNGNoob, and the link to the game is in the OP.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

Sure we want such a big map? that's over 20 provinces per player, seems like alot... how about shadowshore? It's located here and it looks really pretty. http://z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/...?showtopic=491

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

I like that map actually. I've switched it to that, unless people have any other suggestions

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

Thanks Darkavenger- I tried Cradle on singleplayer and it gave me the distinct impression that micromanagement can get much worse on the bigger maps.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

Map looks god. Adam's post download link works for me, main post doesn't. I'm using Opera btw.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

Just waiting on shard to upload his atlantis pretender.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

Sorry for the delay.
Let the games begin, Gentlemen!:up:

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

turn 2 is out, heres hoping for no crippling random events for anyone!!

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

My friend in the game is getting weird CD key issues :S. He's going to contact support about it, do you guys mind if I reset it back to pretender upload and wait to get that resolved?

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

nuts, i had such great starting neighbours too, but ya i dont mind.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

It's a crippling issue? But go ahead with reset if needed

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

I think, Hinnom missed his first turn completely because of it. I mean - look at army graph, he clearly didn`t recruit even a single soldier. I can see how it can become really crippling.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

ya, when a cd key issue comes up it just doesnt do anything with that turn, its as if you staled it. and since were so early in the game, its really easy to just restart it for him.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

I am not opposed to a reset, either.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

Alright. Thanks guys. We'll get this up as soon as we can. we're back to reuploading pretenders, but your pretenders are still there. And we'll get the game started asap

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

you might as well start the game and just leave it at turn 1 unless you dont expect your buddy to have any luck with support.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

There's a chance. I don't want to keep the game off for too long. So we might need a replacement at some point.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

Im happy to jump in as a replacement if you decide it to be neccessary. Complete newb tho this will be my first MP game.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

That might have to be the case. As it looks like we're not getting any response yet.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

Alright Angry_Hominid, you're in. Don't want to hold the game any longer, I'll just make a game some other time for my friend when it's fixed.

You'll be playing Hinnom. So upload your god to RNGNoob

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

Angry_Hominid
Don`t forget, that we are using CBM mod. If you create your pretender without CBM enabled - your pretender will be most likely considered "cheat" and turned into archmage with 0 magic paths.
DarkAvenger211
Maybe, you should give him a chance to reroll? Hinnom makes it ridiculously easy to shoot yourself in the leg, so, maybe, not the best nation for a first MP experience ever.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

Sure, if that's what Angry_Hominid wants, I'll do a reroll. But if you want to keep it, just let me know.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

Hey sorry for holding you up didnt see this thread update... yeah I wouldnt mind not playing Hinnom if possible, ive tried them in SP.. Sauromatia if thats possible please?

I'll upload my pretender as soon as I get confirmation this is ok?

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

its a random nation game, so if you dont want hinnom youll get a random of what is left.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

ahh ok well if Hinnom is what the last random guy got then i'll go with that np... :) Luck of the draw.. uploading soon

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

Thanks :D

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

Hrmm tried to upload my pretender twice now.... no confirmation email or anything... not sure whats up with it?

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

Llamaserver experiences problems. Happens sometimes.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

llamas back up, pretenders are all in. lets get it started ... again.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

Games running, I don't know if any of you tried to send in turns during the server hiccup. Might want to check to make sure.

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

well compared to the last starting position, i want to shoot myself for agreeing to restart! =)

Re: MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Uploading Pretenders...
 

Me too haha
