Direct connect is very easy. We are currently only using the BI mod at this stage. You probably don't need it to design your pretender (as far as I know it makes no changes to pretenders) but you if you want to enable it, from the get go, no problem. You will need it for the first turn though.

Disable all other mods.

Create your god using the in-game tools as normal. Don't forget to set a password for your pretender. I recommend teams use a common or shared password but you can use individual ones if you want.

When the game is up and ready for pretenders you simply select connect from the main menu. Then "Connect to a dominions server", Gandalf's IP address should already be filled in, if not you can type in "game.dom3minions.com". You then type in the port number (forthcoming) hit OK. Select your nation and your pretender file will be uploaded automatically. You'll see a list of the nations currently in the game. At this stage the game is "waiting for pretenders" once all pretender are in, I will start the game.

Waiting to hear back from Ano.

The bolded text is the sticking point. Its now 9:50pm local time for me. I'm certainly not getting a pretender in today at this rate.

Haven't put the game up cuz I am still waiting to hear from Ano whether his team is in or out as per my earlier message. That is the real sticking point (and the question in your PM to him as well).

I guess we will see what happens tommorow. Eh?

Dear Kupiko, please come to our forum and confirm that you take over command for Pythium. In the interim, I remain in charge for them, ready to hand over as soon as you're "officially" back.

I answered each of your PM's in detail, Septimius. If you want me to repeat it here, I will. I haven't heard from NooBliss for a long time and don't know if he is still in here. Same for don_pablo. Also, you've read my proposal. I don't drop and Natpy doesn't as well

don_Pablo · #**356** May 9th, 2010, 09:19 AM

I check this thread every day but usually have nothing to say.

I'm in and I can easily wait for start.

Septimius Severus · #**357** May 9th, 2010, 03:08 PM

Well it is good to hear from you Don, and I am glad to see enthusiam is still present. What a steadfast crowd, it brings a tear to my eye.

Tonno, if you'd like to go over to the empty Sang team and see if you can bring in some others (particularly someone with a bit more experience, feel free. Nice if Numahr went with you but I can understand if he wants to stay with his team. The blood team has a lot going for it. A lot of strengths.

I am going to take an hour or two to see if I can complete the full pretender mod, while Ano is reconnoitering with his team mates.

If we go against the AI sang, I will likely place the teams manually rather than at random to either facilitate Ano's desire for his team to get ganged up on and/or to even access to the Sang AI team.

Tonno,
We will play, this or that way. So don't worry.
Now I'm sure that this game will not die.

Septimius Severus · #**360** May 9th, 2010, 09:13 PM

The full team pretender mod has been completed. I am currently running tests and will post it tommorow. I have removed all the unused pretenders from the design screen as well. So when you design your pretenders you will see all of your team's pretenders (as listed in the teams&themes.pdf) but nothing else.

I did notice I forgot to take out the void lord, void lurker, old man of the sea when we switched to Mictlan from R'lyeh, so those will not be available for the Usurpers. The teams&themes.pdf will be updated to reflect those changes.

Looks real good. Now if we can will fill up the blood team again, we'll have us a proper game against a full compliment of humans.
