Concepts of Creation: Ironhawk Suddenly Wins!

[Sheap]

* This game will be using quantum_mechani's complete Conceptual Balance Mod with built-in HoH nerf, 0.923, Turin's Worthy Heroes mod version 1.5, and dom3 patch version 3.01. The mods currently in use by the server will always be attached to this post. Just unzip the file into your mods directory. If you get your mods here, you should not have any compatibility problems.

* You must use the mod version from this thread or it will not work. The "official" CB mod can be installed, but you have to have this one or you will be flagged for cheating and/or unable to play your turn.

* Hosting schedule will be 24 hour quickhost. I will be hosting the game on my network server. Game is running with version 3.04.

* All settings are default except: Renaming allowed, independents 7, HoF 15, site frequency of 50 - this means score graphs on.

* The Macintosh version of the game will not work due to a bug in the game software which prevents many mod commands from working.

* Victory by victory points. There will be 1.5 victory point provinces per player (rounded up). You must control 40% of these to win.

* Sheap's Rules of Diplomacy (multiplayer tips 1 and 2) will be in effect. (You don't have to role play, although it is encouraged, but you do have to be civil.)

* The game is played with the understanding that there may be bugs or quirks in CB and that this may have to be fixed mid-game and/or tolerated. One of the goals of the game is to find any such bugs. As a house rule, if you find such a bug, you should report it and must refrain from exploiting it.

* This is a middle era game played on Cradle of Dominions.

* Server information: 66.171.171.25 port 2003

* Anyone who stales excessively will be substituted or set to AI. There is no hard-and-fast rule, but generally if you stale 4 out of 7 times or three in a row you are likely to be subbed or set AI. Players who mysteriously start staling right after they lose a major war will be set AI mercilessly. Agrajag will be holding all the nation passwords. Everyone should send their pretender passwords to him, otherwise your chances of being set AI if you stale go up.

Although the mod file will update from time to time (right now it is version 0.923) it will always say 0.922 in the game. Don't worry about that.

Oh and I looked at Worthy Heroes and I like it. I would very much like to use that mod.

Sheap, you say 24 hour QH - do you have plans to switch to 48 hour at some turn number, or run 24QH the whole game? If it'll be going towards 48 hour by turn 10 or at least 20, I'd like in - 24QH I won't have the time with my jobs.

(Shinuyama, Bandar Log, Caelum Mictlan or Man for me if I'm in - just to make sure I get one )

[Sheap]

Well, you're an old hand and I'd like to have you in the game, but I don't see it going to 48 hours that soon (if ever). On a really big map I might see 48hr by, like, turn 40, but I don't intend this one to be that large, and would only switch to 48 if there's consensus that the game is taking up too much time.
