Just waiting for Fomoria now

Yep. Still waiting. I PMed him this morning.

I tried to post my pretender and got invalid nation error. This is for Formoria.

Wokeye · #44 November 16th, 2007, 01:10 AM

Is it Formoria or Fomoria?

llamabeast · #45 November 16th, 2007, 07:11 AM

Aha, sorry Freakboy, that will be my fault. Fomoria hasn't played on the server yet - most likely I didn't add it correctly.

I will fix that, resubmit Freakboy's pretender (I will have it backed up) and start the game tonight (UK time) (probably pretty late).

Okay, the game is started! The first turn has 48 hours on the clock, subsequent turns will have 24 hours.

I hope you all enjoy the game. Here are some tips from me on making it a fun game:

- Engage in lots of diplomacy. It's fun. Send messages to your neighbours, preferably in the character of your nation. Make threats, deals and alliances. One thing though - if you actually agree to a deal (such as peace for n turns, or exchanging items), do stick to it, otherwise you are likely to upset other players and make the game unfun.
- Post in-character stuff on this thread. See Tuidjy's posts on the "Neo Xekinima" thread for an excellent example of this. I really enjoy reading that thread.

People always say the most fun games are the ones with lots of messages flying around and posts on the forum. Silent games are fun too, but miss out on one cool element of multiplayer play - they're a bit more like single player versus very competent AIs.

Have fun!

For you guys that doesn't have worthy heroes 1.7 here is the link to get it:

Oh yeah - thanks Sivoc!

Also, I'd like to ask a favour - would anyone be willing to volunteer to be the admin for this game? Basically that just means that if someone asks for an extension, you sort it out via the llamaserver website. Also later on in the game players may come to a consensus that a longer timer will be needed (in fact they almost certainly will), and again the admin would need to sort this out. But it only takes a minute or so to do. Basically it's just hard for me to watch so many threads so it's really nice to be able to delegate a bit.

I wouldn't mind helping you there

Noob here. Won't let me take turn - says: Worthy Heroes 1.7 needs to be installed. But I have Worthy Heroes mod enabled, although the one I downloaded is 1.8.

What did I screw up? Is there a 1.7 version somewhere? Thanks.
