MP: Noobs are gone frenzY - Late Age - (Running)

[Bullock]

I see many noobs game running so i hope there is still some with free time !
So obviously this game is looking for noobs, hardly motivated (no stall, fight to the death, preferring fast paced game...), without much project for this summer (no people who will be on vacation all august for example) subscribe

I also had in mind the possibility of making teams of noobies against more experienced players who will be teamless.

So if you are experienced you can also leave a message.

So here are the parameters (which can be changed if requested by players and if the majority is ok).

ERA: Late Age
MAP: Plane of Rusty nails
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/attac...6&d=1297439609
Turns RATE: 24h until turn 30 and 48h above.
Players: 11
Mods: CBM 1.84
Victory condition : Until survivors agree for a winner ... or to the death !
Diplomacy : All is allowed.

also:
Special site frequency:60
Money, resources, Supply: 125
Ind strength : 7
Renaming:On
Score graphs:On
Hall of fame entries:15

Due to the map only one aquatic nation can be taken (but we can change the map)



EDIT 07/07

Since player slots are almost full i want to remind you the spirit of this game, before you submit your pretender:

* This is a game to death (no AI 'til you are really screwed, and please post here before going AI)
* As a fast paced game if you need a break (>3days... more if it's exceptional and if everyone is ok) try to find a sub.
* You can cheat your opponents by not respecting your word when doing diplomacy, but expect that everyone will know it. (i hope the thread will be very active, and not only by cheated guys ^^)
* Since we have only 2 veterans (10+ MP game) i won't apply my initial idea of doing teams of noobs. Instead they will get a handicap (Something like no diplo or forced stall for the few first turns ... or no handicap) I ll set a poll so everyone can choose (even the concerned person)
* Have fun !

If you are fine with this description then you can start making your pretender !(Do not forget to apply CBM 1.84 and no password setting !!)

The game will start as soon as the 11 pretenders are in with 48h for the 1rt turn and then normal turn of 24h.

HOW TO JOIN (from http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showp...16&postcount=2)

- Make sure you have the same mods enabled as the game you're playing in (Preferences->Mod Preferences) although only mods affecting pretender design, such as Conceptual Balance, actually matter
- Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions. Don't set a password, since for PBEM games they're not helpful and occasionally annoying (e.g. if you need a sub)
- Go to the savedgames/newlords folder in the dominions directory, and find your pretender file (e.g. mid_pythium_0.2h)
- E-mail the file to: pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net
- Crucially, you must have the game name in the subject line of your e-mail (Noobs_are_gone_frenzY)

Enjoy !

its all up to you to decide, who to ban.
For me, Ermor sure is very strong and because of that strength, very vulnerable to other players ganking against him. If ANY nation ever conquers Ermor`s province all it get is a graveyard with 40 population, extreme supply problems and almost negative income. xD

Because of that Ermor extremly strong midgame - when no SC present, but huge armies are common - to march such an armies onto Ermors land, you need strong supplys. But when SC kicks in, its all changing. I`d not ban Ermor, just took some strong priestly nation like Pythium/Marignon or went in water - R`lyeh! xD

[DarkAvenger211]

Sure I'll join in. I want to try something new. Put me in as LA R'lyeh

[Bullock]

Woot we are 2 players ! Champagne !

btw i want to try Ermor in MP cause there is no fun playing them SP since the AI sux very hard against them.

[Anaconda]

Sign me in for Pythium.

I have been playing since Dom2 but I am quite unexperienced when it comes to serious MP and mods, like CBM's.

[Bullock]

welcome aboard!

I'd like to join as Marignon, though I'm no newb - but I'm definitly not a good player.
