Peccary - upload pretenders!

[Dragar]

I'd like to join as Arco please

[Skirmisher]

I'd like to join ,but have a question first.

That mod that you need to be in this game, will it ruin my current SP games by installing it?

[Renojustin]

Nope, you can decide when the mod is running and when it isn't. Besides, it's a halfway decent mod if you're into Luck scales. Of course, it doesn't do a thing to help Production, which really needs it more... but there are tradeoffs to everything.

I prefer no mods on random maps myself, but I also enjoy switching things up and running the gauntlet wherever possible, too.

I'd like to join as Abysia please

Tir na n'Og please..

[llamabeast]

Good stuff, we have space for one more.

Please carry on signing up even after we're full though - I'll probably create an overspill game shortly.

[llamabeast]

Oh, Skirmisher - you can install mods without worrying they'll affect other games. When you start a game you choose which mods it should use (or rather, you set the mods via Preferences before you start it). From then on that game will always use that set of mods and no others, regardless of what you set in Mod Preferences.

So this is definitely a newbie game? Will the overspill game be newbie as well? I want to play EA Mictlan but can't claim newbie status while doing it. Well, not and look myself in the face...

[Xanatos]

am I too experienced now to play? i still get stomped in pro games, if not, im in! First choice Rlyeh, last choice Niefelheim

[llamabeast]

Okay, everyone is in apart from Skirmisher and Xanatos. For those of you who missed out I'll set up another newbie game shortly (although Xanatos, I think you may indeed be too experienced now).

Please now upload your pretenders. To do so:

- Make sure you don't have any mods enabled, although only mods affecting pretender design, such as Conceptual Balance, actually matter
- Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions. Don't set a password, since for PBEM games they're not helpful and occasionally annoying (e.g. if you need a sub)
- 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 'Peccary' in the subject line of your e-mail

A few minutes later you should get a confirmation e-mail, and if you check the website you should find your nation added to the list of nations which have joined the game.

If later you think of an improvement to your pretender, you can send it in again. Provided the game hasn't actually started the server will accept your revised pretender, and send you an e-mail to say so.

Oh, another thing I forgot to mention: The map will have "dead seas", which means although you can conquer them as normal, the seas will give no income and have no magic sites. So don't bother getting an amphibious pretender or anything.
