VesperBat - LA newbie game - upload pretenders!

[llamabeast]

Right! The game is started! Hurrah!

In the end I went for Cradle of Dominion as the map. Since it's a biggish game as well, I thought it would be a good idea to have victory points. So each capital has a vp, and the winner has to get 7. This is a lot - probably too many in fact - but I thought it was better that the game shouldn't finish prematurely.

I hope everyone's okay with my dictatorial and arbitrary choosing of settings. I think it will make for a very fun game.

Right, so hopefully you will all have received your first turns now. Hopefully the e-mail itself will explain enough for you all to get underway. If not check my FAQ.

The game will be on 24 hour quickhost. That means that it will host either 24 hours after the last hosting, or when everyone's turns are in, whichever is sooner. A bit of thought will reveal that this means both that every turn will host at most 24 hours after the previous one, but that you will always have at least 24 hours after taking your turn to take the next one. Weird, eh? Note that there are 48 hours on the clock for the first turn in case of problems, but hopefully you won't even nearly need that long.

Right, have fun everyone!

One more question - do we have to have installed and enabled that Worthy Heroes mod on our clients when we play this MP game? Or is it sufficient to run it just on that Llama server?

[llamabeast]

If you've been able to play your turn you must have got Worthy Heroes installed. But no, you don't need to enable it. Dominions is clever, and uses the correct mods for any game you open. Which mods you have enabled only affects any new games you create.

[gowb]

Oh, I was worried about that. I didn't have it enabled when I took my turn. GLad to hear its not a problem.

And dammit come on jomon!!! I want to take turn 2 already!!

Arrgh, I just remembered that I won't be here on Sunday and Monday, and so will miss two turns
