I'd better watch it, before I know it, you guys will be talking me into switching to a 24 hour initial host.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Nation selection underway.

Yeah, that's a great idea Septimius. 24 hour initial host is almost a given for most games.

Quickhost takes care of hosting in the event turns come in early, so I don't see the need and I those of us who are busy (with other things in life) might need the time, perhaps I'll compromise on a 36 hour host. :)

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Nation selection underway.

What?? You are saying I don't have a life?

Well, you might be correct in that. 36 hour sounds good to me.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Nation selection underway.

Let me know when the game is up. I'm ready to upload

I've got you down as Abysia, if that is not correct let me know.

Amon, I need you to select some other nation aside from Pythium. Agartha, Caelum, or something else.

The game will be up soon, sorting out this CBM stuff, b,c, 1.41.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Nation selection underway.

What's all this about CBM? Some sort of mod that I need to download?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Nation selection underway.

Woops...i noticed now that this forum doesn't warn about incoming PMs...
So i read Sep's ones now. :S Feeling a little dumb here.
Anyway, if Pythium isn't available,i'll take Agartha.
And sorry again for the delay.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Nation selection underway.

You should set it up to e-mail you. I don't think I could cope without that feature.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Nation selection underway.

Yes, I set it to receive emails whenever I receive a pm. And on the other board I receive emails whenever someone posts :P If I didn't I would constantly be refreshing the forums and that would just get ridiculously annoying after a while.

Yeah, CBM is a mod. Theoretically there will be either a download or a link to the download on the first page of this thread once we're ready to send in pretenders. Then you download it, unzip the mod and place the folder and .dm file in your dominions mods folder (C:\Program Files\dominions3\mods is the default path on windows).

On second glance, actually it seems CBM probably won't have a folder, but will have a .tga file alongside the .dm. There's no real difference really, you still just copy both of them into your mods folder.

CBM alters the costs, stats, and abilities of things a little in order to encourage more variety in gameplay. It strengthens some of the less used gods, reduces some summon prices and path costs, changes light cavalry to make it more useful in melee, etc. I believe it comes with a full changelog, so you can look through that to see what all changes it makes. I think the changelog is a little out of date though.
