Whoo!!! I remember the old post about this, and this is like a dream come true... I just have to wish it isn't a nightmare sent to kill me by overexhausting my body!

What does

The mapfile of the scenario is secret and only the Illwinter host has access to it.

mean? Can anyone host such a game? Or is Illwinter providing the host computer? Then how do I set up such a game? Do we need 2.14 or 2.15? (The mod specifies 2.03?!)

I've got exactly six local friends (they are probably not members of this forum) who just finished a game with me and we are quarreling for more than a week now about the new settings for the next game...(hence my thread about sages). So a pre-balanced 7 player scenario which defines all circumstances seems to be a perfect solution for us...!!!

So can the seven of us play this scenario already on our own? Or is this a restricted unique game only? Do we need our own host?

[Chazar]

Ah, for those like me who did not know about it, see Post#247556. Seems like there will be only one such game being hosted for quite a while... What a pity, for it sounded very, very interesting and would have perfectly fit for the seven of us... Good play then, for I am too busy to play more than a single Dom2-game at the same time! Or will there be multiple instances of the scenario running? :beg: :begandpray: :begandprayandweep:

[Pocus]

well its good and attracting for sure, but how can we play the scenario if the map file is not provided?

[Alneyan]

My guess is that the game will be set up by someone at Illwinter, and will either run on their own server (TCP/IP), or will be created by them and could run with a "normal" player as host. No .map file is needed for actual play, so the latter solution would work while allowing several such scenarios to be played at once.

How Illwinter intends to handle the scenario is another matter, of course; where did I put my crystal ball again?

[Chazar]

Setting up a game for someone and giving away the fatherland file will enable the reciever to replay over and over again by copying the intial files (the setup is unique anyway), thus allowing the laborious to reverse-engineer the map file. Hence I assumed that Illwinter will just host a single game with the scenario...

What do you mean? Is this the recruitment thread for a specific one-time multiplayer game?

[Saber Cherry]

Sounds like fun! I'd love to join.

P.S. One question... why do humans form the core of the national armies of Järnsaxa when she fights for a world with no humans? They must be out of the loop
