Mosenhansen Inland running (formerly Faerun)

[AMF]

OK, I'm trying to join on the server site, but, well, I think I'm a total idiot, becuase I can't seem to actually JOIN the game...I go to the 24hr_host__Faerun listing, and I see two options "submit" or "reset"...but when I hit "reset" I get a "no actions specified" error. Clearly, I am a total doofus, or blind. Or both. I assume that I have to indicate my empire choice and other information (ok, I have no idea what a md5 nmbe is either...I assume it's a TCP/IP address...but this just leads me to believe I am totally unsure of what to do here...)

Sigh.

Oh, another thing: just to make sure I don't dissappoint anyone, I generally will not be able to do more than one turn a day...does the name "24hr_host" mean a tunr every 24 hours, or every 24 hours we all log in and do a bunch of turns at once? If the latter, then it's best for you all if I don't join...

thanks,

Alarik

It means one turn every 24 hours.

You join the game by running dominions and selecting the network option. The IP adress is dom2.mosehansen.dk and the port for this game is 2204. Submit your pretender and you nation will show up on the Mosehansen website as anonymous. That's when you click on the "That's Me" box and hit submit.

I usually make a shortcut with command line switches for each game so I don't have to keep typing in the port and IP Address.

dom2.exe --ipadr dom2.mosehansen.dk --port 2204

You might want to add these switches also.
-w
Starts dominions in windowed mode.
--clickvol 0
Turns off the annoying clicking sound whenever you press a button.

AGH! You're gonna kill me. I screwed up - I logged onto the server just to see if it would work, and I stupidly uploaded Ermor...my Ermor pretender is a non-god, didn't even spend many of the points...agh! Stupid newbie (smack! smack!)...is it possible to delete it and allow me to rejoin when I have made a decent pretender (and run it by people to see if it's at all decent?). Very sorry about this. I'm a dork.
thanks,

Unless anyone has any objections, we're going to try to start the game this Coming Tuesday. What fun.

Oh, if anyone cares, someone else is starting a new Victry point game on the server.

Which Ermor theme are you planning to use? I think this is going to be a Rich game, which will put Ashen Empire or Soul Gate Ermor at a disadvantage.

[AMF]

OK, I'll upload a'real' Ermor...but can I ask y'all out there where I might find a "tips on playing Ermor" or "the best pretender setup for Ermor is...' FAQ?

Sorry for all the pestering questions...

[AMF]

Ok guys...I'm hoping to upload my Ermor empire tonight...but can I ask this: if you were playing Ermor in this game, what kind of Ermor would you play? I figure that at this point the disadvatange of people knowing my setup is outweighed by the advantage of having good setup, given that I am a total newbie. At least this way I might be able to avoid being the first slain...

thanks,

Alarik

Hi Alarik,

My usefull Emor Hints:

Take an Immortal Pretender.
Dominon 8+
Forget Bloodmagic.
Take Deathmagic 9
Don not forget that "Raise Sceletons" is an nation specific spell, so you are able to take a standart Indieprov with only a few deathmages
I prefer the Ashen Empire Theme
