Re: New game for new/newish players (recruiting)
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'.

Re: New game for new/newish players (recruiting)
Eeks. Worthy heroes. I have no experience with any mods. I guess I better download this and figure out how to install it.

Re: New game for new/newish players (recruiting)
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.

Great, we're just waiting for Jotunheim (Xanatos).
I'll add full instructions, links to mods/map etc and so on to the first post shortly.

Re: New game for new/newish players (recruiting)
Xanatos,
The directions for the pretender are on pge 29 of the book, as well as in this thread. Just make your pretender, save it, then Email the file. Dom3 will place it in the newlords folder which is in the savedgames folder. You have to save it first for it to appear there.
