Consecrated Ground: EA PBEM (Full)

Guys, sorry I dropped the ball on the wraparound on the map. We're having a big music festival here in town, and I've been insanely busy setting up for it. I hope everyone is okay with no wraparound, this time Real sorry...

The game wants heroes 1.7. I can only find 1.7b in the forum. It seems this version fixed a bug in 1.7.

If we use 1.7 someone have to upload this version here.

Second Question: What are the victory conditions? (VP? How much of them?)

[thraveboy]

Yeah, I have Worthy Heroes 1.7b also.

Upload... Attached 1.7

I'm really interested to see the name Ymir. I'm curious as to whether their interpretation of the great giant is any way similar to mine when I played LA Atlantis.

I'm a bit disappointed with the map. The layout is interesting, but I've got no actual mountains, just border mountains. Which means I'm kept out of my only defensible fortress, the Mountain Citadel, and left with options mostly in the low hundreds (with the farmland fortification the lone exception, with less than half the defense.

But that's a factor of randoms, and I got so caught up in wraparound I forgot to ask for real mountains. Stupidly, I've learned how to do just this for the random map I've been working on for BAG, but forgot to even request or think of it for this one.

I'm willing to play on, however. This is my first MP with Yomi, and I don't expect to last that long even if all the cards are stacked in my favor. I do expect to give it a hard fight and learn as much as I can, though.

Thanks for uploading 1.7! I need it too

[calmon]

Thanks for 1.7!

I found 5 Victory Points on the map. Are there any reasons for only 5 VPs and i repeat my question from the post above: What are the victory conditions? Do we play with VP victory?

[Thrawn]

Unless llama configured the game for a victory point win, we are playing with plain vanilla victory conditions. I didn't mention victory points in the first post, so I'm sure he didn't.

[llamabeast]

Yep, no victory points.

As for worthy heroes - I believe the server is using heroes 1.7b, but the file's called heroes1_7.dm. I guess I must have renamed it, I can't remember why. Doesn't seem like a very helpful thing to do with hindsight (and a lack of memory)!

Anyway, you should use 1.7b, renamed to heroes1_7.dm. I'll attach it here for convenience. Because there is almost no difference between the versions this won't cause you problems in any other games.

[llamabeast]

PS Maps often end up with VPs on them even when they are not VP games. I say often - I think always in my experience, but there may be some underlying reason I'm missing. Anyway, the VPs are only important in that they produce 1 candle per turn for the owner (so they are like having a temple if you had a dominion 10 god).

Any chance we can postpone hosting with 20 hours for the next turn ? Won't have access to my dom3 computer until then.
