I noticed that when I open the map in Dominions (when starting a new game), it is actually still called Glory of the Gods, instead of Mistsoftime. It's a second copy found down further in the list of maps. I neglected to change the name in the description found in the .map file ... Or was the problem something else?

I've played quite a bit against the computer but haven't done PBEM before.

I did install the mods but don't know where to find the maps.

How do I send my pretender?

Is there a guide to playing PBEM on Llamaserver?

The map files are in the mists.zip file I attached a couple posts ago. If you would like to start a practice game with the map, drop the two files mistsoftime.tga and mistsoftime.map into .../dominions3/map/ folder and then start a new game. When you reach the list of maps, it'll be called Glory of the Gods but it'll be a second copy that appears after the original version that came with your game.

The only difference you'll notice from the original Glory map is that there are only 24 places players will begin the game. Otherwise, its identical.

The link statttis posted is Llamabeast's instructions for players new to Llamserver. It's fairly simple, a matter of sending files to an email address.

I didn't know the map is glory of gods. I just searched for a map named "mists of time" as filename. If there'll be no problem I'll let it stay that way.

If you put the files I posted in your map folder, everything should be fine.

It looks as though we need 2 alternates to play in order to be a full game. GrudgeBringer has bowed out and I have not heard back from Cipher about his picks. Therefore, if anyone wants to hop in and play one of the remaining nations between now and Wednesday when I will start the game, you're more than welcome.

The nations currently remaining are:

Rl'yeh
Oceania

We could really use at least 1 more player to give Atlantis some competition in the sea. Anyone who is interested, post here or PM me.

I've decided to take Kailasa.

Default Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Newish Player Game [2 alternates needed]

Atlantis needs no competition in the seas. They are ours by right, from the depths to the shores. Neither the fish-men nor the abominations will prove competition.

On the other hand, if no one does pick up the other water nations, you could move the start location to one of the smaller bodies of water. Force me onto land sooner. I didn't look closely at them when I was playing with the map, so I don't know if they're big enough not to be crippling, but small enough to not let me get too strong without leaving the water.

I was looking at the game's description on the llamaserver, and there it says that independent strength is set to 6...i thought we were using the normal settings?
