New Dawn - EA Dawn of Dominions

[StrictlyRockers]

I'm happy with the role playing aspect of the map. I love to play Dwarvish races. Vanheim is the closest I can find here. That's why I love Vanheim.

I am a wargamer and a role-player. I don't get much satisfaction out of exploiting loop-holes, or from early take-downs. I like a fair, balanced wargame and a long, hard-fought campaign. Dwarves do not rush anywhere. But they are known to be great sprinters!

We all gave our input. Lets now have the host make the decision.

[Covenant]

I'm having some connect-to-host issues. I've never done multi before, I got involved because MindElemental asked me if I wanted to try a game. Unless I can get these nested firewalls cleared up, I may have to bow out. I can't host games, I knew that, but I'd always hoped I could connect.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be totally toast, but this has been the death of multiplayer gaming in the past for me.

[Mind Elemental]

Yeah, I chose this map precisely because of its roleplaying/thematic nature. With hindsight, I should have foreseen the issues with blesses/rushes - my bad.

Okay, using admin fiat:

- Worthy Heroes

- Standard research

- No ten-turn truce. Sorry, Darrel! Hopefully, we should be able to rely on other counters to rushing.

- Only sleeping or awake pretenders.

And with that, I think we're set!

Great. I'll send you my email address where everybody should send their created pretender file via PM. Once I have them all, I will start up the server.

Covenant, what nation are you playing? If you really can't connect via TCP/IP then I could send you the turn files by Email (and you send them back to me), so that it's a PBEM game for me, or we find a sub for you. In case of doing it PBEM-wise, you should make sure to send me your turns early enough, though, not just some hours before the game auto-hosts.

EDIT: Since I don't know who is playing in this game except the people that signed on here, I will only send my email address to Mind Elemental, he has to hand it out to the other players.

[Mind Elemental]

Ich, I'll send it out to the people who aren't on this site, but it might be a good idea for you to send it to the people in this thread, as well.

[Covenant]

I'll try TCP/IP. M.E. can attest to previous connection woes, but it should be something I can get under control. I don't have admin privs, but we'll see how things do with my new Norton firewall.

I'm still optimistic though. I'm Ulm! If turn 1 works, then all the rest should do fine too.

[lch]

I sent out PMs to everybody that they should send me the pretender files by E-Mail. Pretenders that I received so far are in bold, the list is going to get updated over time:

Arcoscephale
Agartha
C'tis
Oceania
Ulm
Sauromatia
Kailasa
Ermor
Vanheim
Caelum
Marverni
Helheim
