Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

Well, it seems the Ettins just got fixed, so why not use the fix while we are at it...

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

Sounds good...La Agartha.......

Re maps...Please oh please oh please go any wraparound....far out weights any square map.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

Ermor please.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

Welcome!

(...I was actually expecting Ermor to be the first one, considering Zombies!... :D)

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

Gath

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

Bogarus Please

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

Map proposals:

Rampaging rhinos,
Land of many tomatoes
Parganos
Land of ethereal squirrels
Broken Kingdom
Streamlands
Cradle of dominion

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

I'd try Atlantis.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

Hmmm, I really shouldn't... but I want to!
Gimme Pythium.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

Im in as PATALA.
thanks

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

No, no, sorry. I'm saving myself for MA Pangaea and I won't have time for this. Good luck with the game.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

Depending on numbers,

I vote for:

Rampaging rhinos,
Broken Kingdom
Streamlands
Land of ethereal squirrels

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

I choose Pangaea

Cheers, Klaus

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

Howabout we close recruiting here at 9 players, and choose Broken Kingdoms? A little bit over hundred provinces?

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

I changed my pick to C'tis, because of Executor, and would like to stay with C'tis even when hes not joining us now.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

I would vote for a little bigger map...Something in the 15 province/player.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

I double what Matty says. Current map is 11.44 provinces per player....a few people will not be in this game very long.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

More provinces mean longer game, I am fine with that, however having fewer provinces aint bad, it just means as pointed out shorter game overall and even shorter for some of us. We are not playing to stay alive for long but to wipe out neighbours and come out victorious, right?

From my point of view the only problem with Broken kingdoms is it favors ambhibians, I am perfectly confortable with an intense game, for once.

But bring in suggestions?

Rusty Nails, then (Llama database "Allforone")?

Or a bit longer game with map like Riverlands (or recruit one or two players more, and then Riverlands)?

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

Rusty Nails looks good.

Its 155 (143 + 12) which is a smidgeon over 17 provinces each. Might be just a touch too many.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

So how is it, do you want someone more?
I could be interested...if you let me a day or two after the map is chosen to playtest a little and configurate my pretender; all the nations I know how to play have been taken.

Tell me!

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

Well one more player would turn Rusty Nails into a 15.5 provinces each nation map.

Thats pretty close to the money for me.

HD

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

So, Vishniac aboard and Rusty Nails it is?

I remind you, that having theoretical number of 15,5 provinces aint gonna mean people would not drop out fast if it comes to that, it just means that those still fighting will have more to manage in endgame.


Remember Zombies! -mod!!!11

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

Is there still a slot open?
Given that my 2 remaining games are winding down, I would be up for some Zombieburminating with Marignon.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

Well, Rusty Nails with 11 players is around still around >14 provinces per head. Thats totally acceptable and I would welcome it with open lizard paws!

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

OK here, and pretender made with Zombie mod. Ready to roll.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

Dont forget CBM :P

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [NOW RECRUITING]
 

I will update the opening post tomorrow, as I will create the game also. Please submit your pretenders asap after that, but hopefully during tuesday, latest.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [CLOSED with 11]
 

CBM was enabled as well.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [CLOSED with 11]
 

If the world must go down in zombie apocalypse, better go down with style then: give me Arcoscephale!

A question though: if a goul bites a horseman or an elephant...what happens? :D

And if you could put the links to the mod and the map in the opening post, thanks!

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [CLOSED with 11]
 

Yes, I will tomorrow, as for tonight its lights out for me.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [CLOSED with 11]
 

Links add to the opening post.

And, a little poll:

Graphs ON or OFF?
Research: STANDARD or DIFFICULT?

please participate!!!11

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [CLOSED with 11]
 

Graphs on...research...difficult.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [CLOSED with 11]
 

Research standart, graphs on.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [CLOSED with 11]
 

Graphs ON. Research Standard (we'll definetly need it to resist the mindless R'lyeh/Ermor hordes)

That said, what is the victory condition(s)?
Last God standing or something more...scenaristic?

And the toughness of independents? 5 by default?

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [CLOSED with 11]
 

i vote for graphs off. i hate it when people team up because they look at the graph instead of using scouts.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [CLOSED with 11]
 

I vote for graphs off too !

Stronger independents would make things more challenging too, I assume.

However, I´ll be fine with every setting.

Cheers, Klaus :up:

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [CLOSED with 11]
 

with graphs off, someone just runs away with the game, and the game ends very early

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [CLOSED with 11]
 

Graphs on, research standard.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [CLOSED with 11]
 

Graphs ON won the poll.

heres the link where you can send your pretenders:

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [ SEND IN PRETENDERS ]
 

'scuse for the question but:
in the first post, there are 3 links: the CBM 1.92, the Ettin fix and the Zombie Mod.
But when I go to my Preferences (and when I see the page of the game), it seems there is a "CBM 1.92 complete-ettin fixed"
So: do I enable 3 things (CBM 1.92 + CBM 1.92-Ettin fixed + Zombie) or only 2 (the CBM 1.92-Ettin fixed + the Zombie) ?

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [ SEND IN PRETENDERS ]
 

2, as in the end of your post.

Etting fix is an extension to the original CBMx.xx. Copy Etting fix over the original, a little bit like updating a game happens. Etting fix aint self sufficient - you need files from the original also, thus the link to the original CBMx.xx also.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [ SEND IN PRETENDERS ]
 

Yea, if I am not wrong enable the etting fix, thats enough (+Zombies).

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [ SEND IN PRETENDERS ]
 

You should not be wrong: the other option (enabling 3 things) gives me the Nagot Kick Fell! :D

Another question unrelated:
I notice now that...it's not a newbie game. As it's only my 4th MP game, I wondered what is the level of the other players. What should I be waiting for? :cold:

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [ SEND IN PRETENDERS ]
 

Getting rushed by Ghoul. :p

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [ SEND IN PRETENDERS ]
 

I honestly think it's better if I drop out of this. Been busy and haven't found the time to make a pretender, so I definitely won't be able to keep up with the actual game. Sorry to hold you guys up, you should either find another player or just start with 10. :o

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [ SEND IN PRETENDERS ]
 

So, ONE PLAYER SLOT OPEN. FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED!

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [ ONE PLAYER SLOT STILL OPEN !!! ]
 

Ulm?

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [ ONE PLAYER SLOT STILL OPEN !!! ]
 

My pretender is in and the game apperantly started.

Re: LA game "Songs Dead Men Sing" [ the game started ]
 

Could we restart? The Atlantis and R'lyeh capitals are next to each other.
