I've sebt GrayZ a very brief rundown on the situation, sorry I can't do more but I leave to do and have so many other things to do. I havent sent him any files etc....so it would be great if you could Xietor.

Cheers
Guys

I have the map & mods, as I understand it llamabest (or Xietor?) can switch the game to my email address,and then we are good to go.

[Xietor]

Done.

You should be receiving the turn file shortly. The Llamaserver now has your address as the one to send arcos turn files to. So I am out of the equation.

Good Luck!

[GrayZ]

I've sent my turn without any problems.

Glad to join the game!

At this point, I am proposing a vote of the 9 remaining players. Since this game is a test of the Epic Heroes Mod, as well as a mp game, I want to ban certain spells that can end the game through "magical" means, rather than the field of battle. To be fair, there will be a package vote on 4 spells

1. Arcane Nexus
2. Burden of Time
3. Utterdark
4. Astral corruption

To my knowledge there are no blood races, so 4 is likely not relevant. Arcane Nexxus impacts the 3 astral races equally, while the 2 death globals impact Shinuyama, machaka, and Agartha.

It is an all or nothing vote. A simple yes or no will suffice, but of course you are free to vent about how i should have had the vote at the start of the game etc. you are right. But this is the 1st multiplayer game i have administered(not counting 1 v 1 games), so patience is a virtue.

My vote is to ban the spells. 5 votes will carry the day either way. We have 9 players, so there can be no tie. Banning the arcane spell prevents rlyeh from just sitting in the water all game making clams and springing the game winning spell later on while the rest of us beat each other up.

I obviously vote yes to banning them all, I would only have any real possibility of casting 1 of them. Plus, I hate em all (except nexus when I can cast it!) Same with Forge.

[jutetrea]

And that sucked, staled last turn.

Is there a chance of increasing the warning to 8 hrs? Didn't get home yesterday till late afternoon and was a bit busy with the first day at home.

[DrPraetorious]

I'd like Tyrant and (whoever was playing Arco, I forget) to comment on my scorched earth at the end. Does that dissuade people from attacking me in the future? Did I do enough damage that you even noticed?

Do you think it was sportsmanlike? I'm a bit of a game theory buff, see.

[Xietor]

From my perspective only, those that do a scorched earth policy are people who i target for early elimination. Same reason i target any of my neighbors with death dominion for early termination(Vanheim in this game).

If I see a neighbor with strong growth, and another with 2 death, I view my longterm interests in having provinces with income, so if possible I attack the death dom 1st.

If a player is notorious for destroying lands, i would rather get him out of the game before he has even more provinces to ruin. That policy is my own, however, and likely is not much copied by other players.

I set the reminder notices to 8 hours as requested.

[Zoshan]

Ban all them spells they make the game end too fast. I would much rather fight it out.

[Tuidjy]

I am used to my opponent going for scorched earth policies. I cannot remember
the last time I fought someone who did not start taxing his provinces into ruin,
dodging my armies and trying to inflicts as much damage as possible before dying.

I play the exact opposite way. I do not plan for losing, and if it seems that
I cannot win, I will go AI. I sometimes even send the gems/gold to the victor.
I have not noticed people attacking me early because of that. Of course, I have
not been around long enough in Dominion III to get a reputation.
