MP: Newbie/Intermediate FF game: A Totally Civil Union [send pretenders]

[bbz]

OK you download the mod. Unzip in the mod directory, then activate it. then go and create a pretender for your nation. Then you go to saved games directory/newlords and there is your pretender .2h file you send that via email at pretenders@llamaserver.net put as a subject of the email the exact name of the game(the way you see it in the link so: ATCU_A_Totally_Civil_Union)
Then after all the pretenders have been sent you will receive an email with the first turn attached to it. Create a new folder in the savedgames directory named by your preference, and save the first turn .trn file in it. Then you start dominions click start game and there will be a game named the way you named the folder. Click on it. Play it out, click end turn. then open the same folder that you created and there will be a .2h file in it (and the .trn file) so you just reply to the email that you received for the first turn attaching your .2h file.

Hope I didn't miss anything

Dominions 3 multiplayer games are... complicated, but thank you

[bbz]

haha nah once you get used to it its easy

[TimeLegend]

If ya say so. Well really the hardest thing so far was to find the files because my computer arranges things very oddly.

Silly question, but when i do pretender creation I can't see anything different about any of the pretenders available. I've checked the mods activated when I create the pretender, and I am pretty sure I've got FF (only) active.

Two questions:
1) should I be able to notice anything different?
2) can someone give me an example or two of funky pretender things that show up for particular nations, so I can confirm to my own satisfaction that I am doing this right?

(The pretender costs look different - pretty sure Dragons are cheaper for example - so maybe everything is indeed as it should be. But I'd just like to make sure, for peace of mind!)

Jimbo,

Check out the Risen Oracle, available only to Agartha.

Vanilla CBM he has 1E and 1D and 60 points for a new path.

In FF, he has 3E and 3D and 20 points per new path.

Cheers,

Something is wrong with the great mother. She has WNE3 in the selection screen, yet when you level her magic, she has WNE1. Ingame, she gets the correct paths (i.e. WNE3 + whatever you boosted) but blesses dont apply.

[bbz]

Yea apparently thats how they made some things. Some pretenders were made powerfull for blesses others were made powerful only for magic paths. And obv some for both

So what you are saying is that this behavior is actually intended ? Im not sure, but if you say so, it is. In that case, i will send in a pretender tomorrow.

[bbz]

don't take my word for granted, i just seemed to remember other pretenders that did the same thing
