Sign me up for C'tis please

Re: Statue of the Art, recruiting (7/5)
 

I'd like Hinnom please. :)

Thanks,
Nathan

Re: Statue of the Art, recruiting (7/5)
 

I'd join as Tir - but please allow these other spells. I fear I would break them just by forgetting about it.

Re: Statue of the Art, recruiting (7/5)
 

welcome!

Re: Statue of the Art, recruiting (7/5)
 

I'm in, put me down for Niefelheim please.

Happy with the banned spells.

Re: Statue of the Art, recruiting (7/5)
 

welcome jimbojones. ghoul has already indicated his intention - already in short-spoken, no-diplo way - to lead the northern giants. Would u like to choose another nation?

Re: Statue of the Art, recruiting (7/6)
 

Its been some years since I've played Dom3, and I used to be an avid player on this forum. However, a couple years or so ago the last two games I played I staled out on, not too developed but something I felt bad about.

So I decided to come back and try to salvage my rep on the dom3 forums rather than start a new profile or something. I pledge to not stale on you guys and forever more in dom3, and I'm writing to a couple of the peeps I staled out on too apologize too.

In short, I would love to play Kailesa if you guys will have me, Its been a while but I'm pretty sure I can still kick some butt. :)

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

im glad to have u deadnature.

we are full now, let the struggle for godhood begin!

for reminder: its a no-diplo-game, so we agree to forbid every means of cooperating (talking about the game is a form of cooperation).

since two opininons were articulated about the banning of other spells, and mine is not to ban them, on the base of 2 to 1 majority voting the aforementioned 4 spells will remain usable.

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

Sweet, I'll head off and have a look about what my next choice for nation is - back shortly :-)

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

OK, I will go for MA Ermor. Lets get this show on the road!

I can't get the map link to work, it heads to the wrong thread (some space game discussion), any pointers?

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

Two pointers:

1.) The map should be in the "map and mod browser" on llammaserver's main page, just click on it and navigate down to the modified paraganos.

2.) You selected middle age Ermor, but I believe we are playing an early-age game, so you should probably select a nation from that age. :)

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

Can one more person join in? I'd like to play Yomi if possible.

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

Hi!

Since this map has 8 predefined starts, i think its a good idea to allow one more player, so feel urself home here, u r in.

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

Why, thank you very much! Yomi power!

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

Edit: Never mind, I did some searching and found it on the interwebs!

Edit2: Actually, I am confused now... There are like 4 versions of the Parganos map floating around... Which one do I use??? I downloaded LlamaBeasts' map zip file, and it had Parganos_llama.map and Parganos_llama_deadsea.map.


The link for the download of the map on Llamaserver is broken. Could someone send me a link or e-mail it to me?

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

I think its this one:


http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showt...light=parganos

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

Yes, I downloaded that zip file. But there are two different maps included:

Parganos_llama

Parganos_llama_deadsea

Both have the same changes, except for deadsea, which has all of the population from the sea provinces removed.

So, which one are we using?

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

im not sure it is an important question, since u only have to build a pretender and send that in. the trn file will choose the approprate map when loaded.

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

The dead-sea version, but you don't have to choose one; as long as you have both different maps' files in your maps folder you will be able to play whichever one the host chooses.

For your own practice-sp-games your can pick either one, the only difference being that the "dead-seas" version has all of the oceans set to zero income (AFAIK).

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

Alright, I guess I was worrying for no reason. What you said makes sense about just having it in the folder.

By the way, are we still waiting for someone, or can we get this ball rolling?

I'm ready to show the world the awesome power of the Yomi.

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

i have set the game up already a couple days ago.

The deadline for sending in pretenders is sunday 12:00 GMT, if nobody disagrees with it within 24 hrs.

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

Got my map now, got my CBM 1.84, and still happy with EA Ermor, will have my pretender in within about 6 horus and then all good from there :up:

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

yeah, lets get this game going! :)

Those three pretenders up there on llamaserver are starting to get lonely...

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

The Lord of the Oni is now uploaded.

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

Lord Toys R Us of Ermor is up and raring to go, guys :)

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

Pretender sent.... good luck all. :)

Re: Statue of the Art, full, starting.
 

im gonna wait for ossa to send his pretender in until 12:00 monday GMT, then reopen the recruiting if he doesnt.

Re: Statue of the Art, recruiting 8/7
 

since the is no word from ossa i opened the recruitment again. if someone applies sooner than ossa sends his pretender in, he will take ossa's place in the game.

Re: Statue of the Art, recruiting 8/7
 

almost done;)

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

justin time, good news to have u!

and also good news the game has started!

good luck to all!

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

Just a quick question:

What are the win conditions? Are the five victory point provinces being used? What is going on with that?

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

the victory points are not used, they are just ornaments on the map.

the victory condition is consensus, but i'd like to modify it to holding 5 capitals for 3 turns, to reduce the possibility of stubborn and futile resistance at the end. Do you all agree to it?

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

Sounds good, assuming of course that you have to first announce your possession of the capitals (listing whose caps they were and location) and then hold them for three turns.

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

I agree to it.

We need to decide if you must announce it in advance, or if you can use your turn files as evidence. I'd favour the first, but really am not too fussed.

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

i am not sure it makes any real difference. if somebody is near to the goal of owning 5 capitols, i think in the vast amjority of the cases it will be obvious. I think people will concede sooner than that to happen.

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

i talked with deadnature in PM about the no-diplo-rule, and i think it might use some clarification.

the forbidding of diplomatic agreements includes the in-game options too: so no agreements are allowed in any way.

Of course, it is allowed to talk about the game on the meta-level, like "this game is so much fun" and "im glad we playing together" and "lets add a new victory condition if everybody agrees" and such. We have already done this here on the forum.

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

I have to share the news with u, that last run one of the most unexpected, most unfortunate, funniest event happened in my empire. I will tell the details as soon it becomes irrelevant to the game. :)

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

oops, sorry for the stale guys, I'll get on top of that. :)

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

Though I myself staled, (a freak accident for sure) I can't help but to feel a little worried about Yomi staling again. I mean, its still pretty early in the game and it would probably be easy to find a sub.

Let's give Yomi a chance for sure, but if it gets down to the last hour or less we may want to postpone the game for a sub rather than wait for another stale.

Edit: no hard feelings Talrivian, and if you're still with it I apologize, but if I was close to staling twice I would at least want someone to delay for me as one stale can be dealt with but two is often killer, just something to look out for :)

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

i have postponed the game until monday 11 GMT, and posted a thread for finding a sub. if wont come any, i will set yomi AI at about monday 10 GMT.

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

meh, on second thought, who would want to sub in for an abandoned-Yomi anyway? I say just set him to AI and lets continue.

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

after pondering the reasons for both sides, i decided to change the plan, and have set yomi to AI.

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

Yeah, I suspect you are right on this one.

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

I am wondering if llamaserver is having some problems, I have submitted my turn twice but have gotten no acknowledgement. Fingers crossed that I don't end up with a stale!

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

me neither, but according to the management page, our turns have been accepted.

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

Guys, I'm really sorry to delay this game yet again, but I have to take a short trip this weekend and won't be able to do turns from now until I return home on Monday 4:00GMT.

I have submitted my turn, but won't be able to do the next turn until Monday 8:00GMT at the earliest.

Sorry again.

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

no problem. i will postone the turn resolution after this one to monday 8:00 gmt then. have a nice trip!

Re: Statue of the Art, slaughtering started
 

I am very happy that earcaraxe is taking a relaxed approach to this, as I think it makes for a better game :-)
