Allegiances (Team Game, Experimental - PLAYING)

Yes! It's over!

TEAMS:

Team 1 - Shovah32, Micah
The Briny Deeps - R'lyeh, Atlantis, Oceania

Team 2 - Tromper, Folket
The Eastern Empire - Arcoscephale, Pythium, Pangaea

Team 3 - Baalz, Thrawn
The Western Empire - Ulm, Ermor, Marignon

Team 4 - DrPraetorius, Burnsaber
The Fiery South - Abysia, Machaka, Mictlan

So, here's how I did this, if anyone's interested. I didn't use my random roll app like last time, since we had two variables. I got real complicated and put the numbers 1-4 on pieces of paper in a cup. Then numbers 1-7 in a second cup (actually, it was a coffee mug, but who's checking?).

I drew from the cup, which gave me the team. Then drew from the mug, which gave me the theme.

I was worried we might end up without a water team after we had made the map with water provinces, but they were actually the first theme drawn.

So, discuss with your teammate which of the three nations in your new theme you want to play.

I'll post the above info on the first page, as well as the game settings and victory conditions (though, it's going to be pretty standard). Everybody can weigh in on those options if they'd like.

We're going to use llamabeast's PBEM server, which makes things much easier (at least for me).

We should be ready for Pretenders soon! Can't wait to get started!

Teams, post your nation choices when you figure them out.

How much water is on this map, by the way?

Thrawn · #4 August 5th, 2007, 10:30 PM

According to DrP: "230 provinces, 1725x1725 pixels, 30% water *by area*, which is something l.t. 20% water provinces, and is balanced."

You can download the map on his post on page 3. I'll put it at the top, as well.

If you haven't gotten it already, go ahead and do so.

26 Water provinces - 25 in one group. It will suffice.

Okay guys, I've created the game on the LlamaServer, so you can start uploading pretenders whenever you're ready. Here's how:

- Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions
- Go to the savedgames/newlords folder in the dominions directory, and find your pretender file (e.g. mid_pythium_0.2h)
- E-mail the file to: pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net
- Crucially, you must have the game name, 'Allegiances', in the subject line of your e-mail
