We'll use the map Parganos, I think. Edi's fixed version, which I'll find a link for when I get a chance. It's 116 land, 19 sea.

So I think I've finally given you all the game details. So everyone, please upload your pretenders.

I assumed that there would be an explanation of server games in the book, but it appears not. Does anyone have a link to how a server game works? What do I need to do? My pretender file is already there.

Ubercat - the relevant part of the manual is the PBEM part (p.30).

I haven't explained how to play yet because I think it will be obvious when the game starts - the first e-mail from the LlamaServer will tell you what to do. But I'll explain it here anyway.

Anyway everyone, here's how to play. Once the game starts the LlamaServer will e-mail you a trn file (e.g. mid_machaka.trn). You have to make a folder in your dominions/savedgames directory and put it in it. You can call it what you want - I suggest 'Capybara'. Then go into dominions, 'Play an Existing Game', and choose Capybara. Play your turn, and hit 'End turn'. You'll then find a 2h file in your Capybara directory - e-mail that to 'turns[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net'.

Eeks. Worthy heroes. I have no experience with any mods. I guess I better download this and figure out how to install it.

Ok, thanks. I thought server games and Email games were two different beasts.

its easy, download it, unzip it and copy it to "mods" folder under dominions 3. If you dont have a mods folder, create one.

You can turn mods on and off under prefernces in the dom main screen.
