Blitz games this weekend

[Cainehill]

Still no joy on gamesurge, even using Burstfire, but was able to get into quakenet on the first try using whole.ny.us.quakenet.org:6668

Hey, _three_ of us have managed to get onto irc.dynamix.com:6667 !!

mIRC is software used to connect to an IRC room, gamesurge and dynamix are servers which you select once you are running the program.

EDIT: in any case the dynamix channel has been taken down and we are back to gamesurge.

OK. It´s sunday. If someone is playing i´m in. Just tell me when and how to connect because I quite didn´t understand.

It'll be at something like 1800 GMT, which is like 1400 (2 PM) EST, or 11:00 am PST / California.

To line up for the game, you'll need an IRC client ( MIRC, Pirch, irc2, Virc, etc ), and it appears that we'll be gathering on the gamesurge irc network as usual, since it seems to be having no problems today.

Games are run using Zen's Conceptual Balance mods :

Spells 1.8
Scales 1.2
Pretenders 2.2
Items 1.0

(Those mods should be saved in your "Dominions2/mods" directory, whereever that is, and enabled via the Mods menu before creating your pretender.)

Then once the game is ready to start, you simply click the "Network / "Connect to a Dominions Server" options and enter the IP address and port number, which will be given to you.

Generally speaking, it's best to be prepared for a 4-5 hour gaming session.

please post here the server in case I cannot contact you

You'll need to get onto the IRC channel, as the games don't start at a set time, there may be special conditions you need to be aware of, and also because its more fun if you can chat with your opponents
