Anyway 10 capitals, and how long to hold them?

Yeah, the locations of the capitols will be on the map from the start using VPs. I don't want to get into the mess of trying to determine who controls what VP for how many turns in a row. I'd rather let the program determine the winner, so that would be 1 turn holding 10 VPs wins.

I will go either way but I rather have a standard game tho I LOVE the hard research.

i am in Reno and will have very littlee access to a computer until Monday afternoon so PLEASE keep that in mind when you get this started as I REALLY do want to play.

Hoo needs to wait until Tuesday himself, so the very earliest turn 1 would go out is Wednesday -- and that is assuming all the pretenders are in from you guys.

Since it's a full game and I'm the only one who picked Vanheim, if you want to just assign Vanhiem to me that's cool.

Okay. I've got the map ready to go and I've created the game (MistsofTime) on Llamaserver. I've also completed all but the final (fourth) round of nation selection and posted the list on the first post of the thread. There were just a couple who ended up without any of their three nation picks.

For those who'll be working on their pretenders and generally just would like the files for the game all in one place, I've attached a .zip file of the map and the mods we'll be using for the game.

The map files, mistsoftime.tga and mistsoftime.map, go into your .../dominions3/map/ folder.

Put the archives of CBM1.5 and Llamabanners (Streamers & Standards mod), go into your .../dominions3/mod/ folder. Then extract them there.

NOTE: You will need to have CBM 1.5 installed before you create your pretender if you don't already have it. CBM tweaks the pretenders and costs and such. Llamaserver's copy of Dominions may well throw an error if you send in a pretender designed with the vanilla game.

I can't seem to get the map to work... Just me?

I noticed that when I open the map in Dominions (when starting a new game), it is actually still called Glory of the Gods, instead of Mistsoftime. It's a second copy found down further in the list of maps. I neglected to change the name in the description found in the .map file ... Or was the problem something else?

I've played quite a bit against the computer but haven't done PBEM before.

I did install the mods but don't know where to find the maps.

How do I send my pretender?

Is there a guide to playing PBEM on Llamaserver?

Atlantis needs no competition in the seas. They are ours by right, from the depths to the shores. Neither the fish-men nor the abominations will prove competition.

On the other hand, if no one does pick up the other water nations, you could move the start location to one of the smaller bodies of water. Force me onto land sooner. I didn't look closely at them when I was playing with the map, so I don't know if they're big enough not to be crippling, but small enough to not let me get too strong without leaving the water.

I was looking at the game's description on the llamaserver, and there it says that independent strength is set to 6...i thought we were using the normal settings?
