Cradle of Doom - MP game - RUNNING

[BugRoger]

Hey Folks,

I'm about to host a new MP game. My debian server survived a first 2.11 test game and the Battle Inconsitency Bug seems to be history. All I need now is a bunch of players. This is where you come in.

We're going to play on Jason Lutes' Cradle of Dominion map and so I need 7 to 9 additional players.

I envision the settings to be something like the following list. These are open for discussion though since I don't really know what settings proved to be good for MP games.

• Dominions2 patchlevel: 2.11
• Number of starting provinces: 1
• Strength of independents: 6
• Special site frequency: 55
• World richness: normal
• Random events: common
• Score graphs: disabled
• Hall of Fame entries: 15
• Standard research
• Victory by provinces: 60%
• Master password enabled
• Renaming is enabled
• Cheat prevention is active

The server is going to host as soon as all players have made their turn or 48 hours have passed since the Last hosting. This will give you at least 48 hours between turns so it's possible to enjoy the great weather and not have to worry constantly about your empire.

I also enhanced the server with a script that sends email notifications to all players when a new turn has been hosted. If you want to get these notifications let me know your email address.

To get into the game send your pretender to cradleofdoom@brain-dump.com. I'm going to do this via email because I don't want to have overwritten pretenders and stuff once the game has been started. I'm handing out nations on a first come first serve basis.

Once I have enough players I will set up the game and post the IP/Port settings here.

Nations taken so far:
BugRoger - Caelum
Graeme Dice - Ermor
Navrunner - Arco
Rabelais - Machaka
Josh_f - C'tis
Alex T - Jotunheim
Cainehill - Pangea
Calmon - Phytium
Vynd - Ulm
Sergex - Abysia

Waiting list:
Liga - Man

Droped:
Blofeld - Marignon


Edit:
Ok, folks the game is started. You will find the game on dominions2.kicks-***.org or cradleofdoom.dyndns.org Port 6666. The first player who controls 133 provinces wins this game.


Rock on,

Michael

Hello, I would be interested in Arco. I emailed my pretender.

[Graeme Dice]

I think that I'll play the ashen empire of Ermor.

[rabelais]

I recommend HoF raised to 15, because it is more fun, and gives more non-pretenders a chance.

I'll take machaka please.

Pretender to be mailed?


Rabe the Inclusively Immortal

[josh_f]

I'd like C'tis. My pretender will be forthcoming.

[alexti]

I second suggesting on increasing HoF to 15 and I'd like Jotunheim. I will mail pretender soon.

[Blofeld]

Hello.

I'd like to take Marignon and I'm all for HoF 15. Pretender incoming.

[calmon]

I'm up for Pythium.

[Vynd]

If there is still room, I would like to try Ulm. I also like the idea of a 15 man HoF.

[Cainehill]

Presuming there's room, I'd like in - I love the Cradle map. Looks like Pangaea is still open? I'll craft a new pretender.
