Bragi MA (resuming)

[EarthRaver]

erm... lets try to keep this game small and fast.

I like desert eye. i just played Pangaean Parth and dont really like it as MP. Its not wraparound, the water nations have an advantage and the connections between provinces don't make alot of sence to me. Its not a bad map, don't get me wrong, i just think its SP material.

[Jazzepi]

Uh, this game is listed as closed does that include a spot for myself? c.c

I dislike Aran mostly because a lot of the starting positions are terrible and there are not enough water provinces to support more than one water nation. If you put two in there, they're immediately at war.

There's a starting position on the western peninsula that only has two bordering territories.

I would be disinclined to go with Cradle, I'd say it was a bit big for 8 players.

One objection I've heard to Aran is that it's a bit wasteland-y. I've not really looked at it myself though.

Another alternative is my modified version of Parganos (where I have tried to even the terrain up and make it much less unbalanced). I can modify it a bit more as per suggestions you made before LP.

I'm still intrigued why you loathe random maps LP? I agree they're not as interesting chokepoint-wise, but they're not that bad. And it's easy to add real mountain provinces if you want.

Agreed,about abit too big for 8 players part.

How about the fixed Karan map?

[Ramz]

Id like to play as jotunheim, and I agree that cradle is too large for only 8.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Haven't seen that one, Reverend Zombie. I'll look later today, but could you link?

Karan was a Dom 2 map that I thought had been converted & fixed for Dom 3 to ensure fair starts, etc., but I can't find anything that supports my recollection--I might be confused with the work Edi did for Cradle.

At any rate, you can find the Dom 2 version on Illwinter's map page and I'll continue hunting the forums to see if anyone fixed it for Dom 3.

I'll try to make a decision on the map by Friday, or if possible, this evening, so we can get this going this weekend.

The game is not yet set up, we need to decide on a map, but when thats together...

Instructions for uploading pretenders:
[...]
Here's how [...]:
[-LP says don't forgot to turn off any mods your are using.]
- Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions
- 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, ['Bragi'], in the subject line of your e-mail

Then, create an empty folder in savedgames by the name of Bragi. When you receive your first turn file, you will download it into this folder. E.G. "mid_agartha.trn".

When you finish your turn, you'll send your order file (in the same folder) to turns(at)llamatserver(dot)net. For instance, "mid_agartha.2h". You should receive confirmation within five minutes.

You can also check the status of the game at www.llamaserver.net at any time, to see whether its created, taking pretenders, started, or waiting on a particular player, etc. etc. etc.
