That's interesting that my list of sites is wrong. Where did I get that list anyway? Why do I have it? I have had it since 2004, and this was the first time I ever really used it. Hmmmm.

Ok. I just pre-ordered my copy of Dominions 3.

I'll take R'lyeh, sure. I played them before, but that was with the [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon33.gif[/img]-mod and its veeery cheap lobos.

Turn a day is fine with me. I don't mind a slower pace either. When's the projected launch?

I'm up for whatever hosting schedule is easiest for others. While I like the 1 day host time for the first 10 or 20 turns, that might be harder to follow for pbem, what with people in different time zones.

I've downloaded the map and am currently making a pretender, waiting for the launch date to be set...

Let's plan to launch on Saturday!

Let's play 1 turn per day for the first 10 turns.

shovah · #36 May 18th, 2006, 02:15 PM

and 2 turns per day for the rest

. just kidding.

Heh, let me play the part of the obxonious player for once. Do you have a direct link for the CB mod we are using? I haven't kept up on the new versions, so I don't know if they are all still bundled in one mod, are split up again, or some such.

The splitted CB mode is attached to the second post on this thread: link

I have started some test game on the 'vanilla' Tyrande map. The independant strength is set on 3. I think it is a little weak. I'am sure I can take some province with only one herse.

Don't you think we should change this? (Yes, i know, it's a crazy game, but I usually play with maxed indep strength

)

If necessary, I could switch to R'lyah. I have never played them.

I like the idea of trying out the scenario for the map. So, let's keep that.

Thanks, Jurri, for checking out the map for errors.

I suppose we should finalize the nitty-gritty of the game. Here is what I suggest:

Magic Research: Normal (I am anticipating that this will be a relatively short game. So, let's get the magic research goin'.) Actually, I am thinking that every setting would be the default setting, for old time sake, except:
Independents set at 7;
Renaming on;
Hall of Fame at 15; and
Graphs off.

How does that work for folks?

As Jurri suggested, I think it would be fun if the game lasted only until I have Dominions 3 in my grubby paws, and I plan to own it as soon as possible. I have not preordered yet, and I will let players know when I order it. The player with the most provinces at that moment will be the BIG WINNER!! Then we can all rush off an play Dominions 3!! Yay. (I can share proof of delivery for the panel of judges, if needed.)

Would players prefer a daily turn or should we do something like Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday turn hosting?

Pasha

well this post by pasha does say indies 7.

Better start practicing at indeps 7, 'cause that's what the top dawg decreed! edit: foiled by shovah

And I understand we are using only the pretender part of the CB-mods. Pasha collected all the necessary links to a post on page 2, so make sure to grab all of those. (Might be nice to make them available in the first post, too.)
