FreshMeat - EA Newbie - (RUNNING)

[llamabeast]

I've gotta say K, I think if you play in this you will thrash them all easily. After all you are well known as a competent MP player.

If you'd like a new MP game though, I can easily set one up. Any preferences? Seriously, I will always set a game up for someone if they want one. Even if you're not willing to admin, we should always be able to find someone to admin, being as it's a small job.

I'd like to play as Niefelheim! Settings are fine by me.

im updating thread now for new players.

K, i'm leaving you out for now, until your little convo with llama is resolved ok?
if you dont end up setting up another game, i dont have any problem with you playing here, but, then again, this game wont go into any hall of fame or rankings or whatever there is and it certainly wont be fun for a veteran to play here...it'll be like playing against normal or difficult SP AI probably, at the most, hehehe....(well, i still have problem beating AI on difficult, especially with some nations).

I am as new as new can be...I wanted Sauromantia but it is already taken.

I will take Marverni as I have read Baal'z guide and its the only other tribe I have played SP.

Nevr have played MP and will probably be cannon fodder but I need to get my feet wet somewhere.

I have never played MP in thi sgame but am used to LONG games as I plaed AACW and MOO2 Pbem.

I do have One problem...I am somewhat computer challenged and am trying to figure out how to send my Pretender to the Host.

My GF is a whiz so any help and I will be ok.

I will go and read llamabeast's rules and hope you have need for a "The charge of the Dumb Brigade" in your game.

Thanks!!!! Grudgebringer

Parganos seems fine.

Smaller maps are more fun, since it means less micro later on.

[anticipatient]

[anticipatient]

I would ilke Lanka please

im adding you both, game is at 13 players, and closing it up, hows that for anyone else? hope no qualms with 1 extra

ive sent a request to llama to host the game. once he does ill see what i have to do as setup goes, and then you can all go to www.llamaserver.net and click on the FreshMeat game and check it, read the llamaserver FAQ to see how to send in your pretenders and all that, its here on the forum.

actually, heres the link, for convenience

final issue is that the map still needs to be decided on...
i just looked more closely at parganos and i have one issue with it...the entire eastern plain area bordered by those mountain chains to the north and forest to south is wastes, i think i counted 11 provinces all next toeachother, all wastes....
if anyone lands there, they are going to automatically die i think....
i have 2 solutions to that unless i am wrong about the "landing in wastes and youre screwed" concept.
1) i have a good random map i use in SP (well, have started 2 games with it that havent yet finished hehe), its 200 provinces even, with small amount of water mostly land and well placed borders with mountains. lots of good chokepoints, ample farmland (i turned all swamps into farmland instead of swamps), and a good assortment all over the map of "extra sites" provinces and "large" provinces.
ive put it up as an attachment to the first post for whomever wants to look at it.

2) we just use cradle as previously planned, which i think is easier, though it will give us roughly 17 provinces per player with 13 players (the 200 prov random map gives us 15.x something per player, so its a medium map).

i dont care either way id rather that we get 6 or 7 people to look at the random map, and post their vote real quick and make the decision that way.

EDIT x2: ok i cant see where to add an attachment so, that idea is scrapped until someone can tell me .... or we just play on cradle....(unless that parganos really isnt a problem with the wastes area)

Do we really want to PBEM if these attachments are giving people trouble effe? We'll have to do this every single turn of the game. Kind of a pain.
