You still can. Go to "Game settings and admin options", and then "Alter game settings".

You can also delete Pythium's pretender, if you decide you need to.

[Gandalf Parker]

The game hasnt started yet so you can. I highly recommend it. It seems that every game has SOMETHING down the road which requires a masster password.

I would actually suggest that Llamabeast set one to something random on every game as a default with an option for the game admin to change it to something else if they wish.

[llamabeast]

That's a good idea Gandalf, I'll put it on my list.

Any word about the missing players? Or about the wiki?

[Lokean]

No word on the missing players, no explanation for Pythium. I'll be sorting out what people have already written and sorting it into a wiki in the near future and will be contacting you all about the details soon.

If nothing changes by Friday (say... 7pm GMT?) I will be forced to boot Pythium and start with 15 players. That's still plenty for the map, so no problem there. After that I'll get back to organising an EA game.

[Lokean]

Oh, can one of the mods open up the other game thread please? It'll be a lot easier to transplant the story posts so far if they can be quoted to get at the markup (well, marginally).

[Tifone]

I am incredibly sorry to say I can no longer partecipate. My PC has gone and I'm posting from a extremely old pc which can't handle dom3's late battles without taking 1 minute from one casted spell to another (takes one hour to process a battle, no real way I can watch those and react with proper tactics). My current funds and duties don't allow me to replace the gaming PC soon so... I apologize to Lokean and all the other guys.

Have fun - I will read the chronicles! See ya in a sequel maybe

(Remember to boot Aby from the game)

[Lokean]

You'd have to check with one of the more technically proficient Dom3 players, but I believe there's command line switches that reduce the rendering for battles, which might make it tolerable...

EDIT

Yeah, try starting it with -xxx as a switch. It makes the game hideously ugly, but it speeds up battles. Other switches that might speed up battles are:

--nolightfx
--partamount 1
--renderpath 0

But I'm not sure if they're included in the general graphics quality switch.

[lch]

The most important one is probably --nograss, and you can press the number keys during battle to set the amount of battle background detail (lower is less). If all else fails, use "w" for background off.

[quantum_mechani]

So, the wiki says we are using cumulative VPs? When we were discussing them earlier for some reason I thought we were talking normal vps. How many points would it be to victory then?
