Nation Selection: Once the game is full I will randomly assign nations out. When signing up players may request up to TWO nations they DON�T want. These are nations you DO NOT want to play. Sign up in this thread.

After nations are assigned I�ll need you to email your pretender password to velusion@[email protected]. This is because I�ve had issues with the Master Password working in the past AND so we can give your nation to another human player if you disappear. This is not optional. If you PM me your password make sure and include your email address if you would like to be included in the diplomacy email distribution list or want email notifications when turns host.

Once I have your password I�ll send you the ip/port of the server where you can upload your pretender. Once everyone is uploaded I�ll send out an email listing everyone�s email contact for diplomacy purposes and add you to the game turn email notification list (unless you specify otherwise). Then the game starts.

Quickhost will be enabled. The first 12 turns will be set to have a 24 hour autohost � so expect to do at least a turn a day for the first couple weeks. After that the timer will increase to 48 hours though it is hoped that players will normally still be able to play every 24 hours, with the occasional missed day. As turns take longer in late game this might increase further. As players get eliminated we can be more flexible with extensions and extended absences, but not in the first few weeks.

A small version of the map we will be using is here. The map has been tweaked to ensure (hopefully) that all players that start on land have at least four land neighbors and all players that start at sea have 3 sea neighbors. I have also tweaked the ocean connections so that separated sea provinces connect to each other across straits (hence all seas that look like they should be connected are linked). This map is a result of lots of random generation and a wee bit of photoshopping. If we do not fill, we will be using a smaller map.

Players who wish to surrender (resign) should simply let me know so we can find a replacement or turn the nation to computer controlled. If you will be unavailable for longer than a few days please let me know. Failing to do you turn twice a in a row without letting us know will get you put on AI. If I think you are missing too many turns (e.g. 3 out of the last 6) I will put you on AI. Once I am eliminated (*coughisuckcough*) I�ll rely on the remaining players to tell me when something needs done with the game.

Just scanning some of the people who have signed this looks awful familiar to my Radiance ME game going on. Nice to see some familiar ugly mugs again http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Tempest - Early Era, Random Nations (Signup)
 

For those who make the list feel free to email me your password of your future pretender if you already know what it will be... velusion(@at@)sbcglobal.net

Also, to make the first turn go more smoothly you may download the large map here. You will have to unzip it to your maps folder.

Re: Tempest - Early Era, Random Nations (Signup)
 

i'd like to play.

No Kailasa or Ulm.

And if anyone wants to trade for Lanka, I'd go for that.

Re: Tempest - Early Era, Random Nations (Signup)
 

I'm in. I prefer not to play.. do not really care about which nation.

Re: Tempest - Early Era, Random Nations (Signup)
 

Last spot! I'm in.

Re: Tempest - Early Era, Random Nations (Signup)
 

Great, my favourite bit. Finding out what nation I got. Then finding out there pants...

Re: Tempest - Early Era, Random Nations (Signup)
 

Nations assigned! As they say here in Texas...
"Stert yer bichen'!"

Start sending in those passwords: velusion(@at@)sbcglobal.net!

Also, to make the first turn go more smoothly you may download the map (link in an earlier post by me).

Re: Tempest - Early Era, Random Nations (Signup)
 

Hmm... Vanheim. I guess I ought to start learning all those unfair bless strategies.

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

Sorry Ramiro... we are full up!

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

Mictlan again, I should get a customer loyalty card for all the demons I summon! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

Tien chi...... I suck with tien chi..... o well, i guess i'll keep playing kailasa in sp

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

this'll be the first time i've even played c'tis. lets see how this goes...

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

Does this mean your not playing?

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

Everyone who has provided me with a password so far should have gotten the ip/port. If I failed to respond to your message let me know.

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

I'm not able to connect, is the server supposed to be up?

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

Yes, I have uploaded my pretender.

Re: Tempest - Early Era, Random Nations (Signup)
 

Hmm.... I can't connect to the game now either on that port. If I change it to a differnt port it works fine. So... just in case there is a conflict the new port for the game (same IP) will be emailed out to everyone.

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

I have passwords from everyone except:

Folket
mivayan

I am expecting to get started 24 hours from this post. Anyone who doesn't upload their pretender by then is in danger of being replaced!

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

Looks like we have an opening for Helheim. I'll give it a few and see if anyone responds directly to this thread. Who ever responds first (or if folket sends me his password before a response) gets the spot.

Reverend Zombie,I got your password - upload your pretender ASAP please!

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

I'll play if Folket's out, but I don't mind waiting for a bit longer for him. I'll make my pass the same as in Eventide.

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

Folket is already playing in a dozen games, maybe he just forgot about this one. Have you sent him a PM/email?

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

Would you PM me the port, please? I never got your email.

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

Reverend: I forwarded you the earlier email I sent and also PMed you! Sometimes my emails get labeled as spam by filters, which is what I imagined happened.

Micah: The port/address was sent via PM!

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

Hey - looks like all the pretenders are uploaded!

Are we about to get this show on the road?

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

I think thats your call since the host has to set up the map etc.

edit: lol nevermind, you are the host in the other game im playing.

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

It has begun!

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

cannot connect.
first, it told me wrong password (??!!)
and then i couldnt even get there anymore stays on "waiting on game info" forever.

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

I saw the same thing for a while, its just that everyone was trying to connect at once. I got in just a couple minutes later.

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

Yep... people are downloading the map... give it a few. I'll extend the due time if need be.

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

You know, I always wondered why you put the map on the same game server for download as this doesn't change anything, if they download it via the game (easier) or via browser. You could put it as attachment on this forum or by using a file hosting service like mediafire.com ...

Re: Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Starting)
 

Velusion, looks like you haven't set up the Tempest status page yet...
