Newb All Age game - Nicer Shade of Green - (Full - Please Upload Pretenders)

[Calahan]

Ok, I've had a few requests from players to start up a new game, so here it is

This will be a newbie friendly game. I won't limit it strictly to new players only though, but I would ask that if any semi-experienced players want to play in this game, that they either take a weak nation and/or play experimental strategies. (ie. use a crazy pretender design or something similar that is far from optimum). But please don't sign-up for this game if you are a known veteran. As this game won't be suitable, or interesting, for vets. (which is besides the unfairness aspect of it)

I've also had differing requests regarding the settings and age. The Age will be All ages (as I've had a request for an Early and Mid era game, so an All ages game is best chance to keeps everyone happy).

Mod wise we will be using CBM 1.82 (which includes EDM, but you will still need to download EDM for the graphic files if you haven't got it already)

EDM 1.1 - http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/attachment....38&d=1277840680
(EDM is part of CBM 1.7+, but you will still need to download and install EDM for the graphic files it uses)

You might need 7-zip to unpack the CBM 1.82 mod, as I had to max compress it to get it inside the forum attachment limit.

7-zip is here - http://www.7-zip.org/

(You do not need a .map file. Although please note that I have done a new image file for this game, so you will need to download it even if you already have the Greece Stain map)

I've never played with CBM before, so I suppose my vote is for 1.6 since it's closer to vanilla.

Also, can you link to downloads of all the mods this game will be using? Thanks.

P.S. What map?

The links to the mods are now in the OP.

The map will depend on the number of players, but I will link some candidate maps tomorrow.

Hello! I'm new here.

Could I play? I will take Yomi.

[Saeter]

Thanks, I've posted in the sister thread/forum. Will that one be the main thread used for this planning? (Could be confusing with two ones.)

Sure thing. Welcome to the community I've signed you up for Yomi as requested.

Do you have a preference for which CBM to use?

I will very likely close one of the threads once the game starts, and admin the game from just one thread. (probably the Dom3mods forum one)

[Thanatus del Dragos]

I would like MA Oceana.

[GFSnl]

Hi I'm also new.

Would love to play Bogarus.

My preference for CBM is 1.82.

[Thanatus del Dragos]

I don't have a preference, because I don't know the difference.
