Mega Age II -Kingmaker(Started)

the map file link still works and is on the 1st post of the thread. only 32 downloads so far.

you just need to have it in your map file. the game should work for you. if anyone has trouble with the 1st turn, we will get it sorted out before we host to turn 2.

You can check what race have sent in pretenders at llamaserver. Coobe, you have not sent in a pretender, neither have I, or KO.

I am trying to actually think of a strategy whereby i could survive a rush by the new ea race with their chariots. Since I can't, i may as well turn something in, or be a sacrificial goat and play Man.

You can actually change map images mid-game with no problems, so if anyone has the version of the map which I partially prettified, and perhaps has more graphic talent and can do some more work on it, that'd be good

I've reached and exceeded the limits of my skills making the N/S wrap look acceptable.

EDIT: the mediafire link at the root of the thread does work, but the file in the archive is missing the .rgb file extension, which I think you need.

Can I just edit the properties of the file I do have and change it's extension to .rgb then? If not I'll try to DL it again when I get out of work.

[llamabeast]

coobe: Yes, just check www.llamaserver.net.

I emptied out my map file and downloaded the link and it does not have the right rgb file. Why people insist on using these strange programs when map editing I do not know!

I need to run now, but I will get a proper link up when i return.

Yes, I also had to manually add the rgb extension

[Xietor]

I put up a new link to the map file. It downloads into your map folder as a rgb file now. Sorry. I guess it was user error on my part(:

More importantly, after weeks of deliberation, my pretender for LA Arcoscephale has been sent in. Ruin. Rush me at your own peril.

Sadly there seems to be a character max for #descr. As a result some nations have their narrative cut short. I don't know if it can be fixed so the mod I made to add in all the descriptions is 'incomplete'. Anyone have any ideas how it can be fixed?

I'm dropping out of the game. Sorry for the late notice, but in going to upload my pretender, I just noticed that since I am playing LA Pythium in another game (and doing well), the file transfers could become a problem. I might send the wrong LA Pythium to the wrong game. It's just too problematic for me, since I receive my emails on my mac, but then transfer them to play the turns on my PC.

Have a great mega-game everyone. Sorry I could not participate.

Depends on your nation of course. With Man, simple lighting bolt spam should be sufficient, they don't have nearly the hp of elephants though they cost almost as much so you'll see them in similar numbers. 6-8 eagle eye buffed lightning spammers should be pretty devastating to them I'd imagine - if you're not gonna see more than about 20 of them for a rush and you can kill 3 or so per round on top of what your infantry can do and it takes them 4-5 rounds to close and fight through your PD...well, they're not gonna be too scary by the time they hit your reserves behind your PD. Tangling vines should work decently to string them out as well and let your high damage dealing troops deal with them piecemeal. Tramplers are a whole lot less effective when they don't hit in a big wall of flesh and instead each one gets surrounded.

If you stuck with Arco no worries, just a couple of your own elephants would stop them from trampling long enough for your mages to do whatever it is you have researched (lots of choices).
