sansanjuan - I would squeeze you in but we already have 16 players which is quite high for Cradle (which I think is the map we'll use, will confirm shortly). I'll try to remember to PM you next time. You should feel free to join non-newbie games though, people are normally welcoming of players of any skill level.
Right, apologies, I lied about setting up the server last night (so if any of you have sent in your pretenders and they've bounced, that's why). However I've set it up now. To submit your pretender:
- Make sure you have the same mods enabled as the game you're playing in (Preferences->Mod Preferences) although only mods affecting pretender design, such as Conceptual Balance, actually matter
- Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions. Don't set a password, since for PBEM games they're not helpful and occasionally annoying (e.g. if you need a sub)
- Go to the savedgames/newlords folder in the dominions directory, and find your pretender file (e.g. mid_pythium_0.2h)
- E-mail the file to: pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net
- Crucially, you must have the game name 'Acouchi' in the subject line of your e-mail
You can see who's submitted so far at
www.llamaserver.net (this website will be useful throughout the game).
