Karanian Conquest (closed) Ready for quickhost

[Truper]

Thanks to Sheap, the game is now up on a 24 x 7 server.

Its on benatar.snurgle.org port 2007

For now, the game is set to quickhost with no time limit to give everyone a chance to find this post and get used to the idea of resuming the game. Once we've played a turn or two, I'll ask Sheap to set it to 24 hour host with quickhost as stated in the origianl game ad.

Archaeolept and I both need a new game, so we've decided to create one. There are some special conditions, so read carefully.

We want to begin the game as a "blitz" - a game where everyone is Online at the same time, taking their turns quickly, in order to get the opening turns out of the way as fast as possible. After the opening 3 to 4 hour blitz session, the game will move to 24 hour quickhost, and later to 48 hour quickhost on a majority vote of the players. We will meet on the irc.gamesurge.net #dominions channel to kick-off the blitz session. If you'd like to play, but aren't IRC savvy, PM me and I'll try to help you out. We'll meet at 3pm Eastern Time this Sunday 9/12. (GMT -5)

Map: Karan
Players: 9
Indies: 9 (indies 9 is fun, and makes one think)
Site Frequency: 50% (good amount of gems - not overboard)
Research: normal (we considered difficult, but indies 9 can get tedious without some magic quickly available)
Victory conditions: Capitals are worth 1 VP, and 11 other VPs on the map, 11 VPs needed to win (we don't want a drawn-out endgame)

Special rules:

Caelum is Banned. Sorry Caelum fans, but Seraph False-Horror spam is in our opinion the most over-powered tactic in Dom2.

Watchtowers/Mausoleums are Banned. If you want to cover the map in castles, you're going to have to pay for the Wizard's Tower.

We'll be using patch 2.13, so anyone attempting to use the Djinn, or summon Mummies with Amon Hotep automatically loses.

4 slots are already taken, as we've been discussing the game on #dominions, and a few of the regulars have expressed interest. That leaves 5 slots open. If you'd like to play, and can be available on Sunday, post your nation choice here.
