Oh - when you say we'll be playing with Zen's modifications, you mean the Cradle of Zen Version of the map, and not Zen's balance mod, is this correct? (I'd been more used to seeing his map Version simply referred to as Cradle of Zen.)

Yes, the Cradle Version of the map, though in retrospect it would have been interesting to play with the balance mod.

Haven't started yet.

One thing I like about the balance mod is that is doesn't unbalance the nation or the gameplay, but it definately makes a wider range of pretender choices viable.

(And we might get more players flocking in, if it's with the mod.

)

Ah, you tempt me...

Other players: do you object if we use Zen's Conceptual Balance Pretender mod for this game?

If not, everyone should re-create & re-load Pretenders for their nations using the mod, to take advantage of Zen's tweaks.

You'll have to delete the existing pretenders. It won't copy over successfully IIRC.

That's only with mosehansen, because he has code to restore the original pretender. Dominions itself allows existing pretenders to be overwritten as many times as desired.

The thing which sometimes has to be deleted is people's directory, if a game is restarted with the same name or they won't see their actual position on the map, but rather their capital on the old map.

Ahhh! Pretender on the way

Um - we do need to decide which Version of Zen's balance mod to use. I think 1.72 is the latest, but people may've uploaded with 1.71. Better to declare a Version and stick with it, in case more minor Versions are forthcoming, in which case people have to keep recreating their pretender and reuploading.

That is, if everyone was happy with going with the pretender balance mod.

Someone joined as C'tis, which is fine--but who is it?

I'll start the game once they identify themselves; I don't want to risk an anonymous no-show.

Even if C'tis identifies themselves, you're waiting for Vanheim, right?

Once Yvelina is in, if C'tis hasn't been identified in a reasonable amount of time, you might consider deleting C'tis and starting?

C'tis is me. I have a previous login here, but I can't remember who it was. (I am not writing it a lot because my English is not good, but hopefully it will improve in the USA). I am 'Patrick' on Mose Hansen server. I will try to be present for the quick turns, and I will do them no problem after they go to 24 hours.
