MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)

[Aku]

Well we can start as soon as everyone picks a pretender and then we will upload it to the host(to do that is just connecting to the host and selecting your nation).

I am hoping we get all the nations selected etc by Sunday and maybe start Monday or maybe Sunday night if things go smoothly.

I edited your nation of Machaka into the list of nations on the post below with all the info for the game.

What are the computer-logistics for playing this MP game?

Is there a server I need to log onto, etc.?

(I realize I need to create my god pretender on my own computer, and I will do that tonight.)

Thanks. Looking forward to playing with you guys.

Klatu is going to host the game for us on his computer. Basically when you load up dominions you click network, enter his ip, then his port number. Then it will say play the following nation...for you Machaka it will say so you click yes. Then it says blah blah blah has been uploaded then you can go do your turn. I think this is what you were asking.

When everybody selects a nation then Klatu will set up the server game and all of us will connect and select our nation...thats how you upload your pretender by selecting your nation. When all the players have done so then Klatu can start the game up and it will run on 24 hour quickhost. That means that if everybody does their turn it will host and if not it will host in 24 hours from the end of the Last turn. When you connect to the server it will say how many hours until next hosting.

I hope this helped. Any other questions just post and ask.

Thanks, Aku. That's what I needed to know.

did somebody pick tien-chi? if not, id like to be them. and also, are you absolutely sure about karan? i personally dislike it very much. could we play cradle instead?

[Aku]

Current list is this:

Aku - Abysia
Klatu - Man
Boron - Pythium
Pickles - Ryleh
Drool - (wants Tien Chi)
Starwarsluke - Caelum
Lukes brother - Arcoscephale
Alexi - Vanheim?
PashaDawg - Machaka
Panther - T'ien C'hi (wants Ryleh)

But Panther wants Ryleh from Pickles.
Drool wants Tien Chi from Panther.

I need feedback about the map. I know people have given feedback already but just one more time please since we have all the players decided upon now. I know a lot have picked nations because the map is Karan but if the majority wants cradle then we can switch, if not then we stick with Karan.

[drool]

have any of you tryed middle earth map (downside of middle earth is that there is no water races allowed)? it looks nice.

raise the indep level to 7-9 please.

if theres no chance to get tien-chi, ill play ulm BF again. even thou it has crappy mages..
but 50 magic site frequency should give everybody some amazon sorcerors and druids.

anything but karan goes to me.
