Actually you're right LP, people don't need to post e-mail addresses for my games.

LP--

Clue me in--I'm still new to this--what's the significance of Epic Heros?

Epic Heroes is a balancing mod that adds a few very well made heroes to nations.
Unfortunately, the heroes are vastly different in power - some are game altering,
and can rush and destroy a nation, others are nice, but don't affect the nation's
strategy. In addition, some have summons that become your nation's strategy.

If you disagree with the author's views on nation balance, you may not enjoy
playing with it. Check it out before start an MP game. Especially check out
both the free and the deliberate summons.

There is also a Worthy Heroes mod thats a bit less powerful- that's standard on most of LLamabeasts games. Also worth checking out.

I'll link to em so you don't have to search. Just check this post again in about 20 minutes or less. It'll be edited in.

Edit:
P.S. In epic heroes, the nations START with their hero. In worthy, they have to come by it the old fashioned way, so no misfortune 3.

Concrete Atla Stats

Bandar Log - Aethyr
Machaka - Juzza
Shinuyama - The_Tauren13
Ulm - Davegg

There is no difference between this and any other PBEM game, just that I tried to preemptively answer any questions that might arise.

Good advice Tuidjy, thanks.

LP--
The Epic Heroes mod sounds intriguing, and I'll give it some consideraion for the future, but I'd like to stick to "vanilla" for the time being until I've honed my ability compete in multi-player. If you go with the EH mod, I'll have to sit this one out.

Juzza · #28 July 30th, 2007, 02:30 AM

I'm against Epic heroes, I don't really like it, I'd suggest the Nova Deus II mod, but I'm not sure if many people have it. All it really does is add new sprites to current pretenders, it adds a few new pretenders, but their nothing special. It should be on the mod list back up the page a bit, or on page 2 if this is on page three.

The_Tauren13 · #29 July 31st, 2007, 12:34 AM

So, Ill take shinuyama (sp?), if its available. Any idea when we might actually start? Ill need a bit to try and come up with a pretender, but I can just wing it if we can start any time.

My current policy on the game is two part...
48 hours from the last serious activity on the thread, give or take a few, or when people start clamoring for me to hurry up.

So... two days from now, if no-one new shows up looking to join? Looking like we'll have three players, so I'll pick a small map. Prefer wraparound or edges?
