MP Game, Early Era, Random Nations, Victory Points

Ah, cool. Thanks Arameyan! I'll kill you last.

Make sure to delete the original random map file if you connected to the game before I had to restart it, otherwise, you'll be playing on a map that doesn't match what's happening in the game.

Turn 2 is up, please check and make sure that everything worked properly.

Will it cause a problem to delete and re-create the map file even though we've already taken turn 1?

I don't recall if I did my turn before or after your announcement.

I assume the map is in the \maps folder. Is it called _randommap_randomnation.rgb?

If u want in windows you can create one shortcut for each Dom3 mp game. Just modify the path of a Dom3 shortcut this way (for example):

"C:\Program Files\dominions3\dom3.exe" --tcpclient --ipadr 68.148.13.231 --port 10101 --nonationsel

this is very fast and u can create bilions of shortcuts, one for each mp game (just keep one non-modified shortcut for obvious reasons). I renamed mine:

"Agartha EA MP"

You can rename yours:

"The Agartha-is-too-stong EA game"

Thanks a lot Arameyan, it's very good to know!

Yep, its a bit of a timesaver. I also like to add -c --nocredits to my shortcuts as well.

Yes, that's the correct file, and no, it shouldn't cause a problem if you delete it, as the server will automatically send it to you when you reconnect.

Glad it helps!

Now I'm going for a -very- beginner question:
How a 48 hours quickhost is exactly workning? I tought it means that turns will be never be created before 48 hours, even if everyone have played. It doesnt seem to be the case as turn 2 is up (yay!). Does it means that the 48 hour is a deadline so any player that havent played lose his turn?

In any case i'm fine with it!

[Agrajag]

Quickhost means that the turn is hosted as soon as everyone submits their turn, unless X hours (in this case 48) have passed, in which case it will host.

Now everybody fear the aging mages of Ermor, they are so old your soldiers will feel uncomfortable next to them and leave
