Armadillo - started

[llamabeast]

I thought I would start a thread for a new game for people to join, which I will host on my automated PBEM server, the llamaserver (it's PBEM but it checks its e-mail very often, hosts automatically and also has a status page, see www.llamaserver.net ).

We're going to go with Middle Age. The players are:

Kristoffer O - Mictlan
Meglobob - Caelum
Fal - Oceania
GameExtremist - Arcoscephale
Sieger - Ermor
Dedas - Ulm
Sir_Dr_D - Agartha
Teraswaerto - Pythium
Arghaii - Abysia
Hadrian_II - R'lyeh
Amhazair - C'tis
Valerius - Pangaea
Jazzepi - Man
Davegg - Vanheim
Ubercat - Marignon
GrayZ - Eriu
cupido2 - Machaka
zakna - Jotunheim
Reverend Zombie - Shinuyama
Baalz - Bandar Log
Aethyr - Atlantis

The map will be 'Glory of the Gods (multiplayer)'.

Settings: Everything standard.
Mods:
Worthy Heroes
(In the zip there is a 'maps' folder and a 'mods' folder. Put the contents of both in relevant dominions folders, i.e. the contents of the 'mods' folder in the zip should go in 'dominions3/mods'. There is also a readme file - put that where you want).
Blessing Hotfix
(Just unzip and put the contents of the 'Black Tome' folder (two files) straight into in your dominions3/mods folder)

Victory conditions: Still to be decided

To upload your pretenders:

- Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions
- 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, 'Armadillo', in the subject line of your e-mail

[Kristoffer O]

Nice. It was a while since I played PBEM, but I suppose I will manage . Since I haven't played in quite a while I don't have any preferences. I might favor MA or LA, but any era works for me. I'm also slightly in favor of victory conditions.

Count me in anyway.

Might be easier for you if I give some preferences on nations. No particular order.
EA: Arco, Mictlan, Abysia, Ermor or some UW nation
MA: Ulm, Mictlan, Tien Chi, Agartha or some UW nation
LA: Man, Marignon, Mictlan, Jomon, Abysia or some UW nation.

[Meglobob]

I would like to play. I would prefer MA, as there seems fewer MP's set in that age.

I would like to play Caelum no matter what age, EA, MA or LA.

I like a provinces win, either 50%+1 or 331/3%+1 depending on map size.

[Fal]

count me in please. MA sounds good.

Will take either Man or any of the underwater nations.

Would also like to see graph disabled, but that's up to other players.

[GameExtremist]

Count me in - I'm okay with MA

I'd like Arcoscephale

I'd like Victory conditions set, not picky about them though.

[PashaDawg]

I'd be interested in playing.

What turn schedule are you thinking? I tend to prefer slower games, such as:

Turns 1 - 15 : daily
Turns 16 - End: 48 hour or 3 times per week

(If other players would prefer a fast game, then I can step aside for someone else. )

Victory conditions with % of map would be good.

It would be fun to play middle age. I'd like Agartha, Eriu, Bandar Log, or Ulm.

[Sieger]

I'd be interested in playing.

My nation preferences would be:

EA: Niefelheim
MA: Ermor, R'lyeh, Pythium
LA: R'lyeh, Pangaea

[Ubercat]

How many players are you thinking of getting in total? I'd like in, if there isn't any ethical issues with a player getting in 2+ of your games at the same time. (I might be bumping someone else.)

I think someone spoke up for Pangaia, so I'll go with Marignon this time for MA. If you decide to do early I'll go with Mictlan if it isn't claimed. I have never played LA so I'll bow out if that's what you go with.
