[arnob]

Hello

A proposition for Dominions 3 new players (say under 10 MP game) on a small map for 4 :

On llamaserver, 24h each turn at beginning

Map : Silent Sea (wraparround)
Nation : 3 on land + 1 on sea
Mod : CBM 1.6 and Magic restriction 6 (or MR4 ?)
Independent strength: 7 To limit rush.
Score graphs: Off (use scout :-) ) Because it's too easy to attack the weakest player with graph.

Renaming: on
All others by default

Allowed nations, All under 4 on score table (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=45447) :

I'd be interested, as a newbie. Where's the link for the magic restriction mod? Also, a link to the newest CBM would be nice.

I'd like to play Abysia, if that's alright.

for new new player games its also a good idea to link to the LLamaServer FAQ

which has sections on how to play a PbEM game

I'd like to play, as Hinnom. Much prefer Magic restriction 6 to magic restriction 4.

Edit: The client crashes with a "no such spell" error when I try to make a new game with the Magic Restriction 6 mod (with or without CBM). Not sure what's going on there, but since it was created for Dominions 3.08, it might not work any more. (It also probably doesn't take away Hinnom's higher level national spells, since Hinnom wasn't added until 3.17). I'm happy playing without restricted magic, if it comes to that.

Just an FYI, arnob. Magic restriction 4 and 6 (and perhaps 8 if there is one as well), might not work, since it's an old mod. It hasn't worked for me when using it with CBM.

[arnob]

Yes I have the same error. Maybe the simplest way to resolve is to skip this mod, (I didn't find an upgrated version), if everyone agrees ?

Arnob

[SplendidTuesday]

Yeah, skip the Magic Restriction mod. CBM is good enough for us.

Haven't posted in a while on this forum. I think I am interested as early era T'ien Ch'i.
