King of the Isle (finished)

I just noticed game is up on llamaserver, you should send everyone info where to send pretender and what mod to use [with correct version]. And an info about having a different name for new .map and .tga version of the map.

Links on the front post to the final map and the mod we'll use will be ideal.

The last version of the map is on the map&mods forums and linked in the front post (except : I'll rename worldofgeometry.tga into worldofgeometry2.tga as Zeldor and Tharsonius asked for, and so you need to rename it also).

I will only continue to fix eventual errors like the two missing neighbours found yesterday (but won't change garrisons, sites etc...) untill game start.

I've changed my plans from manual hosting to llamaserver in a hurry yesterday, as I didn't noticed that llamaserver existed before Zeldor asked me why we weren't using it, but all infos are now in the front post as well.

Just in case...

There is a known bug if you create your pretender with Worthy Heroes enabled, making the Champion of the Horn (unit 2850), a maverni hero, available as a cost 0 pretender choice (for some nations or all, I don't know, at least for Arco).

Of course forget him and take someone else.

So you say he shouldn't be a pretender at all? I have used him once and he was kinda weak

Whats your opinion ? If we can't find a player for the last land nation before this week end... (probably we'll have a volunteer, but just in case...)

We wait more ?
We let the slot empty ? (but the neighbours would have a big advantage, all others having very restricted possibilities of expansion out of the central plain / caves / other players realms)
We add a random computer nation for it ? (a mighty/defensive AI may be a good choice, able to conquer and defend a little realm, without too much risk of seing it spoil the early game of one of its neighbours)

I say we wait till we have enough before starting. You could edit the thread title to say "Needs one more player."

I'll be uploading my pretender soon.

Pretender registered on the llamaserver.
I tried 6 different flavours of pretenders and eventually choose the seventh one.

So... Evilhomer was reading the forum this afternoon but didn't answered to my pm. Perhaps he hasn't seen it, or considered the answer was obvious as he announced elsewhere his dominion computer was down for a (long) time, but not sure.

Anyway, ddavidd sent me the mail of a player that may be interested. So I contact him, and except if Evilhomer give news saying he finally can play, I'll replace him tomorrow (if Solmyr is really interested / can play, or we search another player for the remaining sea nation).
