Yet Another Dominions Game - Game Running!

How about a message sent to all players? Like, "Mineral planets are the best!" or "I now have a spy in every Capitol, 9h34r m3"?

Now aren't you the feisty one! In my opinion the point is preserved only by limiting almost all sorts of communication - to prevent such codes from being used. Although it would be fun deciphering your codes, undoubtedly

'Bout the version, well, the direct way is to e-mail mose about it. Yeah, that's what I'll do...

Your cities shall burn with our vengeful fire! You should be allowed to give the classical message "We declare war upon your unholy nation", if nothing else; even the AI does that!

On the matter of Pretenders, I don't think the version will matter, though there might be a problem with that Pretender whose item slots were changed (Void Lord IIRC); there is no problem with upgrading a game after it has started, so doing the (virtual) opposite should work fine too.

With respect to not using the same version of Dominions for this game, please note this information from the 2.16 patch page: "However players participating in multiplayer games should always use the same version or the unfolding of battles will not be displayed correctly."

If Mose is willing to upgrade it's all the better. If not, then let's go with 2.14: the various versions can coexist peacefully. Only the old .exe is needed, right? That I can attach if need be.

Oh, and Alneyan, come join! I wanna kick your *** again!

Nay, I'm afraid I cannot do TCP/IP games, as my connection sometimes block the ports needed by Dominions (as it happened in the Faerun game, if you recall). I might start a couple of PBEM games however, if you are so keen on being absolutely trashed by my armies of Doom. A handful of hoplites did well against your troops, so an actual army should win the day without breaking a sweat.

There is a problem though: I will be away for two weeks in late June, so I am not sure if starting more games now is such a good idea.

Jurri, any word from Esben?
I'll try to do that consolidation thing I mentioned later today...

[Jurri]

None as yet. I propose we start no matter the version as soon as we have enough players. It's no big deal to switch versions even in the middle of the game.

I'm all for a blitz; can't do one until late Sunday (GMT), though.

So, I updated the first message in this thread with all the latest. Please, y'all, fill in any holes. I'll work on mine.
Cheers!
