VampireBat - LA game for new players- started

[Ghill]

I would like to play Patala.

I have not yet played a full game, ever, and am a newbie to the whole online scheme. Where would I go to get the Worthy Heroes mod? Also, is this a 3.14 patch game?

Edit: Almost forgot, is this a PBEM or a server game?

im not a total noob but im not that great either, if you need another id like to try.
Pythium or agartha would be cool for me.
how long is the hosting?

I'd like to sign in as Man.

I haven't got a lot of MP experience. I was in 2 games, just finished with one of them.

i'd like to take pythium, only had 2 MP experience

Wow, this is crazy! The games are filling up as fast as I can make them.

I'm afraid the following players didn't squeeze in:
Donny (being as you got in on FruitBat)
Cerlin
OoohSnap
nozshand

However, I think I'll make yet another game shortly, this final one will be an MA game and will be named after yet another kind of bat. You four will have priority if you'd like to play in it.

Those who are in the game: I have to head out now, but when I get back I'll post instructions on uploading your pretenders, and give a link to the mod.

Zenzei - why would you prefer no mod? Worthy Heroes isn't overpowering or anything, but just makes getting a hero a little more exciting (in the base game they are sometimes completely pointless).

I'd like to take Pythium instead, if it's not too late.

[Zenzei]

why would you prefer no mod?

Never mind, I'm cool with the mod as I just found out that I can easily switch it off from the game menu (I haven't used mods before), should I want to play another game simultaneously that doesn't use the said mod. At first I thought it would be an awful hassle to enable/disable the mods all the time from the game directory but since that's not the case, I have no problem with Worthy Heroes.

[llamabeast]

Nice.

I was just wondering if anyone in this game would like to switch to GhostBat, the MA game? The reason being that there is a player who would like to be in a newbie game, but can't be in the MA one as his son is also playing in it, and they'd get a CD key clash.

Okay guys, here's how to upload your pretender:

- Make sure you have the same mods enabled as the game you're playing in (Preferences->Mod Preferences) although only mods affecting pretender design, such as Conceptual Balance, actually matter
- Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions. Don't set a password, since for PBEM games they're not helpful and occasionally annoying (e.g. if you need a sub)
- Go to the savedgames/newlords folder in the dominions directory, and find your pretender file (e.g. mid_pythium_0.2h)
- E-mail the file to: pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net
- Crucially, you must have the game name 'VampireBat' in the subject line of your e-mail

Take a little time to think about your pretender. I'll aim to start the game in a day or so.

I'll also add a link to Worthy Heroes to the first post, and add the map as an attachment.

Okay, I am having trouble with the mod. How do you put it in the game? Do you have to drag it in one of the folders or what?
