Primea, newbie MA game (started)

[lch]

The game has started. Everybody should have received an email with the info for the game. If you have not, then please check your spam folder and add the sending address to your white list, or whatever makes your mail server not classify the turn notifications as spam. If you want to be removed from the turn notification at any time (presumably when you're out of the game at the latest), then please send an email back asking so or send me a PM, I don't keep track of who's defeated every turn.

Feel free to discuss the game openly here. Diplomacy is one of the strongest forces in the game, so make sure to get in contact with your neighbors, you might be winning an ally.

Pangaea armies have set foot on Primea !

Got in, got the turn done. Had to resort to a DOS prompt with Ich's suggested path; I was unable to get to the server in-game. It kept saying 'could not be found' or some such.

Arco is ready to rock!

And Turn 2 done...I seem to be outnumbered 2-1 by all my immediate neighbors. And Shinuyama got those Mercs...

Good luck everyone. And those status pages are neat Ich, thank you for hosting!

Strange, that should not happen. If you enter the host name in the game or as a parameter shouldn't matter at all.

Funny : it looks much the same to me about independants...

Do NOT underestimate the independants. Especially do not try to rush independants with a lone pretender god without gear.

However, the mail speaks to me about some Rhoscrowther game... Anything wrong or will it correct itself in time ?

Ugh. I have improved the game scripts before hosting. I used to have to edit things everywhere, now I only need to update game name and port variables on top of the script. But it seems that I failed to remember doing so in this script. Thanks for reporting this, it is fixed it now!

[kasnavada]

No problem about reporting it. I'll tell you that it worked for the next turn.

I have a question, what's those crown around the map ? Never see something like this before even when i was testing primea. I thunk it's players position first but, there aren't 12 of them.

Anyway, i wish everyone good luck and fun for that first game ( you see Caelum god is nice, remeber that, we're just little birdys, you won't hurt a little bird will ya ? )

Edit : wow ! an other question concerning the validations of turns. I ve just look at the result here, and i was'nt suppose to play my turn, i was planning to do that after lunch. Anyway i just use the commend "save and quit" and i saw that my turn was considering done ( on the internet page for primea game ). Is there a way ( for the next turn, those which need more time, to save our orders and don't validate our turn ? I hope i'm clear enought to be understood.

A 'Save and Exit' is treated the same as an 'End Turn'. In other words, it treats your turn as complete. However, you CAN go back in and make changes to the turn any time before the last person completes it. Right now we're waiting for Ulm, so if you get back in before he finishes you should be able to make some changes.

I am assuming that if you are in and making changes, the game will not host until you finish, even if Ulm signs on and completes his turn while you are 'working' on your corrections.

Ich posted elsewhere that it is best to download the turns and play 'offline'...I am not sure how to do this. Ich, could you give a brief explanation how to do this for us newbies? Or give us a thread where we can look it up?
