I don't seem to be seeing any option to sign into the game at Mosehansen's site, or to upload a pretender. Where do I do this?

I would like to join(best Marigion), if anyone could sent the the Infos where to connect with which version... this would be great

Yeah... I will need to restart the game there. Sorry to all who already uploaded pretenders. So, from now on, please everyone only upload when you're sure you're done and you've already claimed the nation in this thread. Thanks!
Griffin, I believe someone's already taken Marignon. Check the first post in this thread for details.

Restarted. Upload away, folks!

Er... how would I revert to version 2.14, incidentally?

Ygorl · #5 April 18th, 2005, 11:35 PM

You can get the 2.14 patch by replacing the 216 in the URL for the 2.16 updater with a 214. Apply that patch to the version of the game on the install CD. That's it!

Also, we've got folks joined as Arcoscephale and Abysia... Who are they?

I will *try* to get in the game, if it isn't too late. With a bit of luck, TCP/IP will work fine for me, for now at least. Now, what nation should I play... I would have picked T'ien Ch'i, but I don't think they would work out too well, so Man it will be. Let me think of a Pretender, and I will jump in the bandwagon.

Bah, Man has been taken as well. I guess I will settle for Caelum then, though I am not too fond of them (don't worry, I don't know how to play Caelum). I am in as Caelum, with a Pretender having an odd name given its gender. Well, Caelite grammar has always been odd.

I joined as Mictlan ...

The server doesn't overwrite pretenders? Even when it says it does?

Then I guess Ulm should be kicked too. It's a 2.16 pretender which shouldn't make too much difference, but I also made a few tweaks on the 2.14 version.

Newbie mistakes. I'll get over them quickly.

I don't think I've ever played such a packed game... I bet 5 nations will be dead (or have besieged capitols) by turn 15. It's hard to design a pretender than can survive or dominate the early game without running into problems later on. Normally, I just plan for a strong midgame.

Well, it should be a brutal game. That's sort of the goal. Less hoarding, less turtling, more blood.
Now, a question for all of you. Is there some way to kick players _without_ starting the game?
Otherwise, I can just recreate the game and everyone can re-upload (again).
Any words of advice from the experienced game-wranglers out there?
