New MP Game

[PrinzMegaherz]

After gathering lots of experience against the AI, I would like to wage war upon some real god pretenders.

I have no problems with pbem, also I prefer to have a host and a turn schedule like hosting every one o clock in the morning.

Who is with me? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Hana]

I'm game.

[Gandalf Parker]

Just trying to clarify....
Usually when someone starts a thread like this they are offering to be the "GameMaster" and the hosting machine. Is this what you had in mind? COllecting the turns on your machine and processing them then mailing out the results?
(PBEM)
Or leaving the host running all the time with an IP and Port number (tcp/ip)

Or were you planning on someone else doing it?

Ah, I almost forgot, we will use patch Versions

Whether its PBM or using a host is something open for discussion, I personally prefer playing with a host.

We will discuss these things after more players have shown their interest

[Tiltowait]

I am interested in playing. E-mail or direct connect, both work for me.

[Gandalf Parker]

I might be able to slip in. I'd love to try out this new Ulm theme of Black Forest. > http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Any mods included? Hoburg (halflings) or the Trollheim (trolls nation)

[J Stanley]

I'm in.

[PrinzMegaherz]

Well, what do the others think about gandalfs idea

[CayseP]

I would like to try also. I have a lot of multiplayer experience from AoW2, but have so far only played dom2 against the AI.

I'll play, but *I* Get to be Black forest! Grrrandalf! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Just kidding. I'll play, and as is my custom choose from whatever is left.

[alexti]

I would like to play too.

[tbone1218]

I would also like to play. Have demo and ordered the game today should have early next week.

[quantum_mechani]

Since we are using the new patch, I would like to try the new Marignon.

[Wazooking]

I would like to play. Doesnt matter to me what race.

[Graeme Dice]

I'd like to play C'Tis if no one has taken that yet.

[Catquiet]

I'll take Arcoscephale if it's still open.

[Gandalf Parker]

Hmmm you seem to have more than enough players. I think I will back out. I want to concentrate on some things like a Random Map Generator for awhile

[J Stanley]

I'd like to be Abysia if available.

[ January 13, 2004, 03:12: Message edited by: J Stanley ]

[dire]

I'm interested in playing. I'll take Ermor if possible.

[taterbill]

I'd like to play... I'm easy, I'll take any nation.

Bill

No Gandalf play!

I don't want those wolfherds anyway. They look way too lonely with only the animals to keep them company.

[Zapmeister]

I'll play too, if there's any places still vacant.
Is there a host yet?

[rabelais]

I'd like to play as well. Machaka, Jotun, Arco is preference order but whatever is available.

I'd like to try atlantis someday...if there's going to a full water game... Are Atlantis and Ryleh the only water nations? seems like 3 would create more variety/uncertainty...

...is the new Marignon theme quasi aquatic?

Rabe

[Catquiet]

Quantum Mechani - Marignon
Graeme Dice - C'tis
J Stanley - Abysia
Dire - Ermor
Rabelais - Machaka
Catquiet - Jotunheim (I decided to switch nations)

PrinzMegaHerz - ?
Hana - ?
Tiltowait - ?
Arn de Gothia - ?
Zen - ?
Tbone1218 - ? demo
taterbill - ?

[Wazooking]

I would like to be pangaea vanheim or man.

[Hana]

I'll go for Arcoscephale.

[PrinzMegaherz]

If I am going to master this then we will play pbem, as I dont have a server with a constant IP.

Anyway, looks we are enough to play. Just give me some time to work out who plays what race (Sorry, I'm busy right now... working)

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Not really, they just sail over oceans like Vanheim.

[Zapmeister]

If it's going to be PBEM, I'll drop.

[taterbill]

I'll be Man if still available. Thanks.

[PrinzMegaherz]

So far, so good

Hana Arco
quantum mechani Marignon
Gandalf Ulm ?
Stanley Abysia
Wazooking Van
Catquiet Jotunheim
dire Ermor
taterbill Man
rabelais Machaka
PrinzMegaherz Pangaea

If you declared your interest to play, please chose a race now.

And if there is someone willing to host, this would be a good time to tell me.

[CayseP]

R'lyeh or some random leftover race if you are not including water nations http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[tbone1218]

tbone1218 - Pythium

[Strages Sanctus]

I would like to play if there is still a place.

Would be my first MP game.

Edit: Mictlan 1st choice. Tien Chi second choice.

[aldin]

I'd like to play if there's a spot. Mebbe C'Tis?

~Aldin

[Strages Sanctus]

Is this game going to happen still? Seems like it has lost its steam.

[PrinzMegaherz]

As said before, if you think you can do it better/swifter than me, feel free to master this game.

Anyway, lets get started

Follow the steps in the manual and create your pretender gods. Send them to

pretendergod@yahoo.de

Please add your own E-mail adress, your forum name and the map you would like to play. Map with most votes is hosted.

The game will start saturday evening. Please submit until then, or the game will start without you.

I as soon as possible.
However, I wont wait more than three days after sending the new turn before I host again, except there is some very good reason.

Let the games begin!

[rabelais]

Has a map selection been announced?

What are the candidates?


Looking forward to my first MP start,

Rabe

[PrinzMegaherz]

Oh yes, good question

I think we should play one of the basic maps.
Desert Eye, Orania, Aran.
Did I miss one?

[Strages Sanctus]

Depends how many players we have.

I think since it is PBEM graeme and zap were going to drop. Not sure how many that leaves us with.

I would vote for Orania or Inland myself.

6 indy
50 sites
15 HOF

Not sure on victory conditions.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Sounds like this game is going to be a little too slow for me. I'm going to drop out also unless you can get someone to host it.

[PrinzMegaherz]

I received the first 5 pretenders.

please hurry so I can send the first turn tomorrow morning
