Redwich - a dramatic game (in progress)

Raiel · #1 July 5th, 2009, 10:12 PM

Sounds cool, and I'd like to play, but I'm a noob that just joined 2 games over the last 3 weeks... Since I don't know what end-game is really like in a MP game, I'm wondering if this would be too much.

What research difficulty will be used? Other settings?

I'd tentatively take Bandar Log. (And, yes, I realize tentative isn't what you're looking for, but I don't know all the settings yet.)

I think I am interested in joining, although I must confess I don't know much about those mod nations and am a little unsure how balanced they are.

I'd like to play as T'ien Ch'i.

They're not so bad balance-wise. None of them fit into the clearly top tier category, and some are probably on the lower edge of average. So I wouldn't worry.

Actually another mod nation only game is popping up so count me out of this one.

Sorry but I really want to play Arga dis but only want to play a certain number of games at a time

People are clearly interested in mod nations but no one has advised me on whether they'll work with CBM. Thus I have made a query myself, in the mods forum. Early replies suggest the combination will probably work, but it's not certain yet.

Settings will generally be what's chosen by default here: http://www.llamaserver.net/createGame.cgi
(That, in turn, will generally be what's chosen by default in the Game Settings dialog in Dominions 3 itself.) The exceptions, of course, are the specific settings I've already mentioned. Also I might put 15 in the hall of fame instead of 10, because heroes entertain me. But that's not a very big deal.

You are welcome to be uncertain about administrative matters; those are outside the game. If you have any more questions about those, please ask. You are also welcome to be uncertain about whether you're choosing the right nation, or whether you're playing well, etc.--just honestly think and observe and try to win, no matter what, and any questions you have about the quality of your choices will be answered.

No one so far has given much acknowledgement of my request for player commitment! Well, I didn't ask for one. Maybe I will ask a little later, just before the game starts. Months, people, months!

I would think that if someone has volunteered to play this game, then they've already given you your answer.

Bandar Log sounds good with those settings.

One never knows, with random dudes from the Internet! You know what they say: When you assume, you make an assu of m and e.

(An assu is a demon, somewhat similar to a tengu.)
