BAG (Started!)
 

CURRENT STATUS:
Game is running.

We've finally resolved the map issue, so we're nearing a start. I plan to start the game on the 13th of this month- a Saturday. The host, llamabeast, has limited internet access, but will do what he can to get this game started this weekend.

Because I know only how to attach only one thing to a post, I'll attach the map we're using, epotara, to my second or third post- all on this same page. This post includes a zip file with all the mods we're using.

I'm organizing a Big Arse Game on Llamabeast's play by email server. Settings are final.

Game has been created. You can submit your god to 'pretenders(at)llamaserver(dot)net', with the subject line 'BAG'.

Game is Dom3.10, with a mod pack containing Worthy Heroes, Streamers and Standards, Ulm Reborn, Vaettihiem.

Frequently Asked Questions
 

Q: When can I send in my pretender?
A: You can send it in now. Just email your pretender to 'pretenders(at)llamaserver(dot)net' (obscured for spambots)

Q: How do I create my pretender?
A: Create your pretender with the Game Tools, making sure the relevant mods are enabled (Preferences).

Q: Where can I read about these mods?
A: The Mod List is usually a good starting point.

Q: What version are we using?
A: Dominions 3.08.

Q: Where can I find out more information about the llamaserver and play by email?
A: Check out the Llamaserver FAQ

Q: What map are we using? How many provinces will there be?
A: It's a map created by Pashadawg. There will be real mountains, caves, seas, etc, and about 15 provinces per player.

Q: What's the turn schedule going to be?
A: The first turn is going to be set to fifty hours. After that, the game will run as a 30 hour quickhost. Quickhost means that as soon as the game has received everyone's turn-order file, that the server will process that turn and send out a new turn-result file to everyone. As the game gets more complicated or people request, the turn times will be lengthened.

Ooo, if you're taking nation signups, put me down for...

R'yleh, Emor, Caelum

Changed these in order of preference since Outriders has become unplayable

Re: Placeholder Play By Email FAQ
 

Yeah, taking nation signups.

Don't have to worry about conflicts yet, either, since I don't know who'll still be able to play in a week or two or four.

I will get more strict about it later, but for now, I'm going to keep a rough idea of order requested.

Re: Placeholder Play By Email FAQ
 

Id like to join as one of the following nations:

Agharta, Marignon, Jomon. If possible i would like Agharta

Re: Placeholder Play By Email FAQ
 

Since this is LA there are several mod nations which could also take part that are specifically balanced for either vanilla dom3 or Conceptual Balance Mod.

Only if you're interested of course.

Re: Placeholder Play By Email FAQ
 

Where can I find balanced mod nations ? (not amos i hope)
