Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

this is a cross-post from invision. http://z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/...showtopic=1151

"The continent has been ruled long by the ancient people of agarthans, their Great Mother God, and world-famous general Sziro. *insert some apocaliptic, civilization-erasing chain of events here* And after the fall of the great empire, a new era has dawned, pretender gods have arisen to lead their followers into the Second Holy War of Loemendor, and make the world burn once more!"


map: land of loemendor (the no specials version)
era: middle
hosting: llamaserver, 24 hrs from start, then increase at *consensus*. tolerance to RL, probably turning quickhost off eventually.
mods: CBM 1.94
HOF: 15
players: 11
only 1 water nation

map here: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com//showthread.php?t=33602

this is intended to be a faster paced game. if u tend to be the last person sending ur turns in or if u have the tendency to nearly always send ur turns in just before the deadline, please join other games instead.

anyone wanna join this game must send his pretender in WITHIN 12 HOURS of posting the application here to make his application valid. (to avoid dragging the start out for weeks as happened before).

if u join this game please keep fighting if u have a chance to win, dont quit too early. on the other hand we wont spend too much time looking for subs, if u are in a hopeless situation, just turn the AI on.


We are waiting for competent players with some experience.

I plan to make a third war of loemendor in the future, with late era. Anyone wanna join the next one in the series will have privilege to select his previous nation if he wants to.

good luck and much fun to everyone!

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruitin 3/11
 

Has Sziro usurped my Tien'chi or is there a typo there? :)

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruitin 3/11
 

I'd like to join as Mictlan.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruitin 3/11
 

Pan thanks.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruitin 3/11
 

hi! u r right, u have priority for TC, they are urs if u want.
It was just i wasnt 100% sure u will join us this time (im glad u did), and sziro said he has only experience in the middle era with TC, so i wrote him in with them.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruitin 3/11
 

dont do it hooley!!! your still young

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruitin 3/11
 

Well, I can take another nation if Sziro wants them, so he should speak up before we start.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruitin 3/11
 

tc is all urs. he said he takes marignon or agartha instead.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruitin 3/11
 

i'd like to play Ryleh.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruitin 3/11
 

Could I get Pythium please?

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruitin 3/11
 

I might be interested in this, Perhaps Vanhiem Will upload pretender tomorrow.. Gotta sleep now.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruitin 3/11
 

I'll take a shot at Ulm.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruitin 3/11
 

Hi there,
If you have an open spot in your party, I'll take Machaka.
I had a large experience with Dom 1 & 2, but this is my 2d MP on Dom 3 (and I never used llamaserver before).
Hope that I'll be able to rise to the challenge !
cheers

Re: Second War of Loemendor, full, waiting for pretenders
 

we are full! hello everyone! Most of u might now, that its a part of a series of games. The first one was one by Sziro, commanding the agarthan troops. We gonna see, which nation herits the place of the now-extinct, old agarthan kingdom.

there was intense conspiring, diplomacy and collaboration in the first war, i hope this continue here.

i wish much fun to everyone, let slip the dogs of war!

Re: Second War of Loemendor, full, waiting for pretenders
 

Ermor's pretender is in and raring to go :-)

Re: Second War of Loemendor, full, waiting for pretenders
 

we are waiting only for sziro-marignon. he asked for a 24 hour delay, starting now.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, full, waiting for pretenders
 

Sziro ha given up his throne, and said he will skip this age, perhaps returning for the late era. now we have an open spot, for the quickest player.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

bump.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

I suppose I could sub in for Sziro for the Middle Age and continue the Agartha regime until he returns in the Late Age.

I'll upload Pretender today.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

How to deal with diplomacy here ? Am I supposed to use the internal mail of the game, or may I contact the other players by email (then could we publish all email addresses somewhere ?). TIA

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

anything u find convenient. the custom is mostly PMs in forum, or ingame messages. very rarely email, IRC.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

Messages via this boards PM system are the best, although I also use in game messages for things I think of while I am actually doing the turn.

The in game PM for your account is not automatically activated, so make sure you turn it on! :-)

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

Sorry guys but I've a problem: the last turn does not work and I have an error msg "Dominions version is too old, myversion 327 fileversion328 nation 35" (i.e. Machaka).
But the latest version of the game is 3.27 !!! :confused:
http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwint...DOM3_page.html
So how could the server use a 3.28 version ?
Do you have the same problem ?
TIA

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

FYI

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

3.28 is the newest patch.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

Oops, I missed it yesterday... will check illwinter.com asap
:doh::doh::doh:

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

I am struggling to apply the patch, may stale this turn - apologies in advance. (Issue with getting admin access on my current PC.)

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

Issue resolved, yay!

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

glad to hear! i didnt get ur PM in time.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

I think I'm going to need an extra day to get my turn in.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

Seems like my Tien'chi chose a poor place for a capital. An ancient presence turned all 30,000 people into plants, crippling my income. Most annoying.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

That event just sucks big time.

Why it hasn't been removed by the devs is beyond comprehension.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

Wow what a crap events on the cap ... that sucks hard. Sry for you dude.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

Sorry I staled everyone, I promise it won't happen again.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

Well, I have some pretty sweet magic sites to compensate, which will be more valuable late game, but this early the loss of money is certainly painful. :)

Maybe I should attack someone to get more money...

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

Wow, I didn't even know this was possible! While this sucks for you, it is just one more example of the amazing depth and variety of this game :-)

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

Two Hail Marys and one Our Father penance if you please....to my pretnder of course...the one true God!

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

Given I'm playing the fantasy Romans, does this mean I get to have one of my centurions make your god carry a humongous great wooden cross around your conquered capital city and then nail him to it? Because that would totally rock :-)

You know, it is actually possible that Dominions actually has a random event to cover this too ....

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

Jimbo, I would gladly do that if you captured my capital. Since I have no idea where you are, it means you are on the other side of the known world.

Good luck in owning my capital..until then, carry your own bloody cross!

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

The subject line on this thread says you're still recruiting... I'm guessing that's innacurate.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

Yeah, the game is up to turn 14 now - sorry dude. Good luck finding a game!

Re: Second War of Loemendor, recruiting 10/11, one spot left.
 

Also there is Agartha in the game and not in the player list.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

psisoldier, whats up with u? u have staled 2 times already and this turn we are waiting only for u.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

He has nothing left, you can force the turn.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Yeah, Vanheim has one fort, no provinces, and very very few units.

If Psisoldier is too lazy to go AI himself, maybe we can get a volunteer to do it for him?

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

I am thinking that, after we finish this cycle of games, we should do another cycle (again EA through to LA) using a wrap around map like Plain of Rusty nails.

This map is nice, but being in a corner as I am is both an advantage (fewer potential enemies), and a disadvantage (I really need to punch one particular guy to get out of the corner, whereas in a wrap around I would have had more options).

I am greatly enjoying this game, I have to say, even as I look into the face of impending doom :-)

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Just got home a little while ago and I have a holiday party tomorrow. Is it possible to throw 12 hours onto the turn timer so I don't have to rush the turn?

Thanks

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

excist: sure, hosting postponed by 12 hrs.

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

i would like to repeat a part of a sentence from the original post:

"if u tend to be the last person sending ur turns in or if u have the tendency to nearly always send ur turns in just before the deadline, please join other games instead. "

this is mostly for jimbojones. i see that in the majority of the turns so far u were the last one sending in, mostly just before resoultion.

do u think u can change that? i have an idea, i hope it helps: when u are the last one to send in, what about waiting for the turn (5 minutes at most), and writing the new one immediately?

Re: Second War of Loemendor, game underway
 

Ulm's being attacked by 3 nations now, so I'm done in a handful of turns. I'll play this turn out and then going AI.

Nice job by Machaka and Mictlan. Gonna have to learn how to handle heavy bless nations before I do this again.

Was fun.
