Ummm...how do I edit the title of the main thread? I can edit the title of the first post, but that doesn't change the title of the main thread...

Anyway, anyone looking - thanks for your interest but the game is unfortunately full.

You can't anymore, unfortunately.

They added this really awful "feature" where you can't edit a post save for 30 minutes after you first put it up. While it solves some minor problems with administering the forums, it's a real pain in the *** for the users.

Uploaded mine! Also, since we have a lot of new people and the link in llamabeast's signature doesn't seem to work (and because I had a hard time figuring out what to do, myself.) here's how to upload pretenders: *Stolen directly from llamabeast*

"Okay guys, the game is ready to accept pretenders. Here's how to upload them:
Firstly, you should only join a game if you've found there's a thread for it on this board, you've read it, and they're still looking for players. Then you should post on the thread saying what nation you'll be. To actually join the game:

- Make sure you have the same mods enabled as the game you're playing in (Preferences->Mod Preferences) although only mods affecting pretender design, such as Conceptual Balance, actually matter
- Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions. Don't set a password, since for PBEM games they're not helpful and occasionally annoying (e.g. if you need a sub)
- Go to the savedgames/newlords folder in the dominions directory, and find your pretender file (e.g. mid_pythium_0.2h)
- E-mail the file to: pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net
- Crucially, you must have the game name 'Archaen' in the subject line of your e-mail

A few minutes later you should get a confirmation e-mail, and if you check the website (www.llamaserver.net ) you should find your nation added to the list of nations which have joined the game.

If later you think of an improvement to your pretender, you can send it in again. Provided the game hasn't actually started the server will accept your revised pretender, and send you an e-mail to say so."

You can now edit the first post in each thread, which is a big improvement at least.

I've fixed the thread title, using my moderator powerz. I did using "Thread Tools", next to "Search this Thread" in the black bit at the top. Not sure if that's also visible for James243 or if it's a moderator thing.

Oh yeah, the FAQ link is broken. Oh dear! Well, I have no time to fix it now, so it will have to wait till I get back from holiday.

Same goes for many of the map and mod links on the LlamaServer. Unfortunate.

Thanks for posting that by the way Ershalim. You did well to find it!

I guess this is why my post count is high.

I actually lifted it from a post you did in "Newbtopia." I couldn't find the FAQ itself from searching for it. (Possibly because it ignores the word "FAQ" ) I also had to ninja edit it because I told everyone to send it as a game file TO Newbtopia. Darn copy and pasting. Hehehe.

Okay, you actually prompted me to fix the link. Fixed!

The actual FAQ remains mildly broken, in that the links to the subsections don't work. But you can just scroll down.

Boy, I'm sorry to do this, but I think I'm going to withdraw. I just bought this game a week ago, and have had a great time vs. the AI, and want to try multiplayer....but....I'm starting school in a week, and today I just kept thinking that I'm not sure if I'll be able to play as much as I'd like.

I'm afraid that in a few weeks my life will get busy and I won't have time to play...so I think I'll drop out now before I make life diffiicult for the rest of you.

I hope you can still find someone (that never seems a problem here)

Sorry again, and good luck all!

I was signed up as LA Man btw

Heya, I'm the one Juffos reserved a slot for (Caelum). I'll be playing from my own pc/dom. Juffos should be confirming this today or tomorrow. Recently got this game myself, and this'll be my first multiplayer game

I'll be uploading my pretender as soon as I wake up, getting rather tired atm and need to still revise my pretender...
