We can restart if you want. I think I have an old version of cradle with perhaps 13 hand-placed start positions. If we use that obviously people won't be perfectly evenly spaced (there not being 13 of you), but it might be a little better.

If you really want good start positions you have to hand-place them, but that is really hard work.

Thanks for the help everyone ....

I deleted ALL my games (including the tutorial),created another file and just put the 2 files in there (TRN and the 2h) worked like a charm. As usual I sent in a revised same turn just to make sure I knew what I was doing....Problem resolved.

It looks like I am ok in the placement but a restart is fine with me.

I agree that it would be no fun to look forward to this game and then be fighting from turn 3 knowing you have NO chance to just get your feet wet.

I also agree that DarksStone tried his best and i can wait another 48 hours if we need to to get him in and get everyone situated in a good spot.

It seems from what I've read these games go on for months, 48 hours isn't gonna hurt anything.

Just my 2 cents worth

i sent a PM to llama to request a restart.

oh well

then another thing came up with me, and it might in the next week or two not allow me to put in a turn. haha. i think the fates dont want me to play MP just yet.

first im having a problem with my dom3, its happening mostly just with this MP game....i posted a bug in the forum about it but there is no reply or fix for it yet (it does however make the game unplayable as all input aside from dragging the map with mouse totally disappears)...

second thing was that i thought i would be living in one place for awhile with a new job, but, i stopped the job yesterday after some issues that were apparent and instead i think ill be moving back to sweden (im in spain now).

this being said i want someone else to host. also i will be dropping, so, maybe you all want to change map as well and/or wait for another few players?

hosting really doesnt involve much, there is an admin options menu where you can configure a few things but its not even necessary...otherwise its just moving the game along more or less, as far as i can see.

someone who knows how to use a computer and copy files though, preferably ;-)....i think its rather comical (no offense) that a few of you are seriously having problems copying a friggin file which is stopping you from playing or whatnot.
seriously. computers are not magic boxes. we live in a technology age, get with the program! )
(im a software engineer now, but, then again, i still figured out computers when i was no more than maybe 10 years old, and i was cracking apart games to make cheat programs or mods by the time i was 14....if a 10 year old can do it, so can you!

I'm willing to host the restart. I recommend sticking with Cradle as I think it's the best MP map; especially for new players. It seems balanced, with plenty of choke points for securing borders. Also, my SP experiments have led me to the conclusion that 13 players is a good number for it.

Thanks effeDom for your efforts in trying to get this together. I wish you all the best in your move to Sweden and hope to see you back on here when you get settled.

That being said, I (GrudgeBringer) AM IN for the new game.

IF Executor does not want Sauromatia I would like that race.

If he stays with it I will stay with Marverni as I want to try Baalz's strategy.

Allright, I PM'd Llammabeast. I'm a little confused. How many players do we have now? Is it 11? Should we wait for two more?

Also, do we want to stick with indy strength 7? I had qualms about that in a newbie game, but didn't speak up before. 5 would decrease the odds of someone having his first army bashed and losing a couple of turns to get back up to speed. I'm embarrassed to admit it recently happened to me in SP.

I'm okay with changing indie strength. Also, do we want to have it set so that victory points match up with player capitals? I feel like that takes away much of the mystery and uncertainty in the beginning.
