Well, I'm leaving today for vacation. I have submitted my pretender, but you should just send the turns to llamabeast till I get back in a week or so. I am looking forward to having a nice little piece of heaven when I get back!

Well, assuming everyone even gets their pretenders in before you get back, I'll be sure to do that....

3. In the early game using them means giving up recruitment of a mage that you really, really want.

So it's really hard to use them effectively. I will recruit some, but it won't be for a while. And when I do it will be largely to move armies around. So you really don't have to worry about it. But seriously, they're no stronger here than they normally are, and I would hardly say they're ridiculous. Maybe they are a little on the cheap side for what they offer... but they have nothing on real SCs.

Hmm maybe it is a problem with compatibility with CBM then. THe ones I saw had at least 7-8 magic paths, including blood, for 80 gold. I will check my mods when I get home from work.

rdonj · #**104** July 16th, 2009, 11:31 AM

They should most definitely NOT have those magic paths. When you're using the tourmaline mod, you can't have any other mods enabled. At all, including CBM (I included it in the tourmaline.dm). Or you will have serious bugs because of the wide range of unit ids that are used. I'm not sure what would be giving the oldbloods quite that much magic but I can assure you they will not be so obscene in our game.

yay, I'm so happy this didn't start why I had lost internet. though I'm kinda curious as to when it will start

rdonj · #**106** July 17th, 2009, 09:42 PM

You lost your internet?

That's not cool. Well, it's been a bit tough contacting viccio about getting his pretender submitted for tharoon. I was able to get in touch with him today, but the game didn't accept his pretender. I offered some advice about how to get around that but I haven't heard back from him yet. My hope is that his pretender will be submitted sometime tomorrow. If it doesn't get sent in soon, I don't know, I may have to just start the game without him to make sure it gets going.

Sorry about the game disappearing. Ironically it was a twist on the previous problem - this time the issue was that the .map file had spaces in its name! Anyway, fixed, and you don't need to rename any files or anything. I will do some maintenance on the LlamaServer soon to prevent such issues coming up again. It is in need of some TLC at the moment.

The game has just started now, so you should all be receiving your first turn files any second. Have fun!

rdonj · #**108** July 18th, 2009, 06:36 PM

Oh... the .map, not the image. Heh, I wasn't aware of that, sorry. The original had spaces in the name so I didn't figure it would be a problem. Well, now I know better....

Lavaere · #**109** July 18th, 2009, 07:29 PM

Wow, first turn and it says Arga Dis cheated

Alpine Joe · #**110** July 18th, 2009, 07:58 PM

Hmm yes I don't really know how I cheated, but it says I did somehow. Perhaps we should restart the game with me sending in a revised pretender? If you guys are okay with continuing, so am I.
