n00bs of DOOOOOOOOOM!!!! - Five Nations Surviving
 

This is an MP game for n00bs (such as myself). For the purposes of this game, a n00b is someone with about five MP games or less, but if you are close to that and want to quibble let me know on the thread and we can chat - the idea is a level playing field rather than to be pointlessly pedantic :)

The idea is to set up a smallish game (~15 provinces per player) with a moderate number of players, and go for it. And please, no dick moves or stupid exploits.

The game details are as follows. (Where someone else had already described a particular point well, e.g. Calahan and exploits, I’ve reused their text – many thanks to the originators!)

Age: Middle Age.

Map: "Ilzgot" map (104 land, 16 sea provinces): http://dom3.servegame.com/wiki/Ilzgot

Turn Length: Turns start at 24 hours and will be extended liberally as needed.

Number of player: 7 (max of two water nations)

Non-standard settings: Score graphs disabled, 15 Hall-of-Fame, re-naming allowed.

Mods being used: No mods, this is a vanilla game.

Hosting: Hosting will be done via llamaserver. Once we have enough people, I'll create the game.

The game can be found here on llamaserver: http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo....me=n00bsOfDoom

Selecting Nations: If everyone can post three nations they’d like to play (in order of preference) I’ll randomise the selections and we’ll see who gets what.

Diplomacy and Trades: The inviolability or otherwise of NAPs is up to individual players. At the end of the day, this is a win at all costs game, so it is perhaps not surprising that sometimes backstabs occur.
The exception to this is that trade agreements such as a gem / item swap / purchase / province trades, are a totally different type of agreement to NAP's. You are expected to honour any and all trade agreements that you make. Please don’t be a douche bag.

Banned Exploits:
1. Copying the script orders from Bogus and his friends to others commanders (ie. The 'Fire Commanders' orders).
2. Overloading other players labs by sending them lots of items they did not request. Be they worthless or valuable.
3. Being a general douche bag is not allowed in this game.

If you need to leave in mid-game for whatever reason, please give us time to find a replacement.

Players and Preferences:
As people sign up, and give me my preferences, I will log them here.
Everyone got their first preferences (bolded below).

Two water nations in 16 provinces is going to be cramped. Either way, I'm keen.

Sweeeet. Preferences?

Re: n00bs of DOOOOOOOOM!!!! (New MP game for newbies)
 

Hi, first time MP.
I would love to play Caelum.
2nd and 3rd option are Pythium and Abyssia

Re: n00bs of DOOOOOOOOM!!!! (New MP game for newbies)
 

Excellent! Welcome, and I look forward to playing with you :-)

That gives us four players, only three more to go.

Hey there, first time posting - and playing online- and I was waiting for a noob game to pop up.

My orders:
1) Ulm
2) Jotunheim
3) Eriu

Re: n00bs of DOOOOOOOOM!!!! (New MP game for newbies)
 

Glad you decide to join us, welcome SirMu :-)

Re: n00bs of DOOOOOOOOM!!!! (New MP game for newbies)
 

Also my first post. :)

I would like to try Bandar Log.

Re: n00bs of DOOOOOOOOM!!!! (New MP game for newbies)
 

Bandar Log always looked like a lot of fun to me, so good choice I think.

Do you have second and third preferences, just in case?

Re: n00bs of DOOOOOOOOM!!!! (New MP game for newbies)
 

C'tis and Pangea both seem to have interesting mechanics so either of those too.
