Karanian Conquest (closed) Ready for quickhost

Hi,

I'm new at this (I've never played a mp game before), but if that's ok, I'd like to try Pangea.

Do I just create my god and then choose network and enter in the ip and port info, play my turn and then press host?

I also have never used IIRC before. I've heard of it and I assume it's communications software that I have to download from somewhere. I then somehow connect to the #dominions channel?

I just upgraded to 2.13. I've never used the Djinni and the Amon Hotep stuff before, and I won't in this game, but why is their use considered an automatic loss. Are they overpowered?

Lastly, is it possible to have one Pangea god for your MP game and a different Pangea god for my SP games?

Thanks, Jeff.

there's a bug w/ 2.13 that can cause perhaps irremediably serious problems if either of those two items is used as specified. hence, the ban on such use.

i'm not sure if this is really a total newb friendly game - since there is a certain emphasis on speed during the blitz part, you'ld need to be able to run your empire w/ alacrity.

d/l a trial Version of MIRC and try to join irc.gamesurge.net, then type /join #dominions. PM truper if you are stuck.

As to Jeff's Last question re: SP and MP gods, there -is- a backup utility to save your pretenders, but the short answer is that the game uses (and saves) the pretender you currently have in memory for a game when you BEGIN that game. So you can make a pretender for SP play and continue using it in SP play even if you make another for MP play. However, the pretender file goes away when you make your MP Pretender, so if you want to make that same pretender for another SP game (not the one already running), then you'll need to either do it from scratch or use the backup utility.

Make sense?

bumpity-bump.

I guess i'll be playing the friendly jots. all we want to do is clear out a little bit of scrubbrush for our peacful farms. don't mind us.

anyways, anyone interested should show up on irc.gamesurge.net #dominions a little before 3:00 EST. hopefully there aren't any hitches and we can get a snappy 3-4 hrs in.

Well, damn. I'm not going to be done with a school assignment in time to get in on the blitz. Definitely let me know if we're getting another one going anytime soon.

Bleah.

Sorry you can't make it, Jayded.

Less than an hour to go before game time, and I am doubting that Cohen or jeffr will be participating. We may have a rather sparcely populated Karan.

Still time for anyone interested to come to #dominions on irc.gamesurge.net and get in on the fun.

Sorry, but I'm over committed to games as it is right now. But, this is a perfect game setup you've got, and I'd love to get in on a game like this once, I've lightened my load a bit.
