Invisible Swarm (finished)

[CUnknown]

Hi guys! I just got Dominions III ... must play ... must play...

I'd like to host a game.. um.. Middle Ages.. I want ULM!!

I'd like:

Small, random map (7 players)
Standard Research
Gold, Supplies, and Resources at 100%
Magic Sites at 50
Indies at 4
Victory Locations, there are 16 total on the map, you need 10 to win.
No mods.
24-hour hosting, at least for the first 20 turns or so.
Score graphs off.
HoF at 15.

Who is down??

I would recommend leaving everything at defaults instead of tweaking them. The vanilla game, IMHO, is fairly balanced and they just nefered glamor.

I would probably be interested in playing.

I think the game creator already claimed Ulm.

If you leave settings on standard(particularly victory conditions. i hate VPs) id be interested in playing bandar log.

I'm definitely down for this! As for mods, Worthy Heroes is a nice mod, although I think it has some problems with the latest patch so it's maybe better to leave it out. The Conceptual Balance mod (by quantum_mechani, not Zen, nowadays) is a good mod, sure. But it also changes a large number of things: don't you want to experience the baseline vanilla game first?

I'll pick a nation once the settings are confirmed... The default settings are pretty functional, although magic sites can use the bump to 50. Lowering the gold makes castles and temples and labs even harder to build, and they are hard to build en masse already on default settings. Standard research is indeed the old difficult, but it's factually harder than that in the early game, since castles and labs are more expensive, and easier than that in the later stages, since there's more gold. I'm kind of partial for easy research, but I'm sure standard will be fun too.

Yay! Jurri's playing!

Okay, we won't do any mods and leave most settings at standard for now. I would like to keep Victory Locations, though. Just so the game ends at a reasonable time. I'll make it so you have to have most of the Victory sites in order to win--in my opinion, if someone has 75% of the map, they should win.

I'll edit the first post with the new settings.

Could I join and give C'tis a go ?

I happy with a game of any flavour.

[CUnknown]

Sure, Digress!

So, currently we have:

1) Me, as Ulm
2) Digress as C'tis
3) Jurri as Agartha
4) Remmy as Caelum
5) Jazzepi as Atlantis
6) Catquiet as Pythium
7) Evilhomer as Eriu
8) Shovah32 (?) as Bandar Log

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Jurri! I think, though, that you find the games I host fun because you win them all.

I know Boron is still around.. maybe he'll play. How about Jeffr, are his centaurs still kicking around this site
