Rock and a Hard Place - LA game - finished - Abysia wins

[vargr]

Welcome Jolly Roger.

I haven't played with you yet and your account is rather new so I ask it bluntly: what's your experience level?

Please don't take offence, I just want to make sure everyone is comfortable enough with the basics so the game will be enjoyable. If you can expand reliably, have a game plan for the late turns as well, and have survived to late game before that's enough.

I´ve taken part in several MP games, know how to expand and I have an interesting plan for GATH for all game phases.

So far I´ve survived only two games to the late game phase
due to the competitive community.

However, I´m definetely not a champion compared to the other participants.

Hope that´s OK with you, but I won´t complain in case you prefer to replace me.

Regards, Klaus

Sounds good, welcome aboard!

Edit: we now have the minimum number of players I had in mind. With 6 I'm thinkin Streamlands as a map. I'll wait untill tomorrow before closing, still room for 2 more!
Also I remember llama mentioning a bugfix for the weekend, so might be worth waiting for that before starting unless it gets postponed too much

I'm gonna change my pick to atlantis i think.

OP updated.

I'll set up the game on llamaserver Monday morning GMT when we know our final player setup. So start planning on your pretenders, hopefully we could start soon after that. We can start with the current 6 players but there's still room for 2 more!

We may get a hotfix for CBM in time but so far I haven't come across anything game breaking. LA Man seems to get free Bean Sidhes but as of now they've not even been picked. Anyway, if you do find something that's obviously a bug, report it but don't exploit it.

And if anyone is wondering about the xp-requirements, hopefully I didn't sound too exclusive about it. There are certainly some competent players already signed in but the main point was to ensure the aforementioned basics. So if you meet them, welcome in!

T'ien C'hi please!

[vargr]

Welcome odeoderok.

Still room for one more!

[YellowCactus]

LA Ulm for me if there's still room!

[vargr]

Welcome YellowCactus.

We're full with 8 players. I'll set up the game as soon as we are decided on the map. There's a version of the Ethereal Squirrels that has 7 and 8 fixed starts on the llamaserver. It's a bit tight for 8 but still ok I guess, especially when Atlantis and Mictlan can go in the water straight away. Both should be rapid on the land as well though.

If we want a larger map, then I would suggest Land of Legends. Still just under 20 provs / player (19,1). Not a wrap but plays much like one.

What do you think?

[YellowCactus]

It SuX to be in the middle of non-wrapping maps, but I'm happy to play Dominions with you guys. Thanks for setting up the game!
