Hey Ich,

Just sent through my revised pretender to your email address. Curious to see how this one will go...

Cheers mate,

James.

Hmm, should we send them in now? Or wait for your prompt?

I'd like to join as Caelum... I've done the tutorial and some vs CPU, but no multiplayer yet, ever. I'll get cracking on the pretender file right away, hope that's ok.

Ok we now have almost all the spots filled

Uhm, a couple of things, hunt11:

You didn't attach the map to your post. But that's not so important because you can't use this map for the game anyway. The file you sent me has 1200 provinces. That's enough for 60-80 players, but way too much for 10-15 players. How long did it take you to generate this thing? Knowing the Dom3 random map generator I wouldn't be surprised if this took several hours.

It's good for showing how flawed the neighbor-finding algorithm in Dom3 is, though.

Unless you want to use a randomly generated map, you could take a look at the Wiki at http://dom3maps.wikidot.com/ to find a good map for this game.

It actually only took me about 15 minutes to generate that map and i am working on the new smaller not randomized map as we speak

ive played a few games, more than 2, but im still pretty noob - i can take last spot if you guys want me too...why is ermor allowed and not rlyeh?

Omnirizon · #9 May 26th, 2008, 07:02 PM

i'm afraid the game has already started.

i don't know why ermor is allowed and not r'lyeh. the logic i've heard is that ermor's domkill severely limits them, or something. to be honest, i've never played either nation (because they are typically never allowed) and so don't really know much about the qualities of either.

also, because we've had a good handful of people drop in and ask for a position in the game, I suggest the OP modify the name of the thread to include the word "started". I think the lack of that signifier and the relative lack of pages in this thread leads people to assume the game is still open.

and lastly, why is there so little chatter in this game? i'm even having issues with people not responding to PM's. everyone is so quiet. this game is also quite slow, which may have something to do with that. i've always said slow game kills the enthusiasm.

I'm not experienced enough with Ermor to be a big threat. Or experienced, period. This is my first multi-player game.

I have to wonder, though... if so many people think that some nations are too overpowered to play with, does that not suggest that there are some balancing issues that need to be addressed? Seems kind of wrong that we can't play against each other using what comes in the box...
