Orania Network Game

Zachariah · #1 January 30th, 2004, 04:48 PM

I'm starting a new game server with the Orania map file. I'm hoping for at least 5 people, but welcome more.

If you join, do not start the game: I will.

If you decide to drop out, make yourself computer controlled so you don't hold the rest of us up.

The server address is: 209.157.135.121
Port number: 9999

See you on the other side!

What's the game settings? Hosting frequency? Any particular mod you're using?

Orania is a very large map, you really do want to have more than 14 people, which you shouldn't have a problem to fill. Otherwise, the game will become a nightmare of micromanagement before you even see another player.

all standard settings

I'll see how many join, but I like games in Orania with 6 people, so you can have some kind of empire before you see your opponents (rather than being bumped out early). But I'm in no hurry, so lets see who joins.

Somebody started the game, so I had to reset it.

PLEASE DO NOT START THE GAME!!!

I'm running the server on a remote machine, so the only way to start it is as a regular player.

Anyway, please join up!

What is "standard" when it comes to hosting?

Is it going to be "one-two turns a day" or "weekend intensive" like? I suspect I'm not in the majority's time zone (Western Europe), so intensive might be hard for me, but one or two turns a day I can handle.

I tried to join, but it said that the server is down

I have it on quick host, so as soon as everyone has their turn in, it hosts.

Currently there are 6 people in the game. I'll wait to see if anyone else joins up, and will probably start it 12 hours from now.
