TCPIP Game - Full

[Tals]

Hi

Map: Aran (Subject to opinions)

Players:

Tals Ulm
Folket Ermor
ioticus Arco
Ed Kolis Mictlan
Reverend Zombie C'tis
Folket's Pangea.
Ron D Ryleh
Turin Caelum

Waiting on Gods
Ron D Ryleh


Server Settings: default (again subject to opinions)

48 hour autohost + quickhost

I'm planning on starting a TCPIP game. Map Aran with the default server settings unless others have any thoughts on this. If its Aran then that is around 7 players. I'm a reasonably novice player - although been playing for a while now so i'd recommend novice or intermediate standard.

Server will be set to auto host every 48 hours and also quickhost (7 days a week). Server will email all players when a turn is generated.

If you are interested, post here with the nation you would like to play and any comments re game/server setup. I will update this front page with the players and game settings.

[Folket]

Hello!

I'm new to this forums, I just installed my old copy of the game. I would like to join as Ermor.

[ioticus]

I would like to play as Arco. Would you consider 48 hour auto host instead?

[Tals]

That doesn't seem unreasonable- my intention is generally we process at least a turn a day (maybe slower over weekends). On that basis you still in?

Tals

Yes, I would like to play. Thanks.

[Ed Kolis]

Hmm, I think I'll join as Mictlan...

[Reverend Zombie]

I'd like to join as C'tis.

[Tals]

With 2 players still required, i'm assuming the map is acceptable and the criteria so can you create your Gods once I have 7 players i'll pm you the email address to send them to.

Tals

[Folket]

What are the rules for the game. And is there some code of conduct?

Are we using any mods in this game?

[RonD]

I'll reserve a spot for a water nation. Having never played underwater - I will post later which one I've chosen.

[Folket]

My brother would like to join as well playing R'leyh.

That is fine - except Aran isn't that watery so you may struggle or not - I have no appretiation of water nations to know how big an issue this is.

Can you ask him to send his god to my email address

Many thanks

[Ed Kolis]

Any mods? We can't design our pretenders until we know what mods we're using http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

At the moment no mods - but suggest away and all discuss.

Tals

[RonD]

Hmm - there are only 11 water provinces - not nearly enough to support both water nations. Any chance your brother could pick something else?

Agreed, As Rond got there first can you ask your brother, Folket to choose another non watery nation.

Tals

[ioticus]

I vote for no mods. I like the game as is.

[Ed Kolis]

I don't care about the mod setup; I'd just like to know... OK, for now I'll submit my pretender using no mods, and if the situation changes I'll change it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Folket]

I have posted my pretender without any mods.

I do not see any problems with having to water races on 11 provinces, as they do not have to stay under water. But I guess my brother could be playing pangea instead.

[Folket]

I'm sorry but my brother backed out. Shall we open the game for a last player then?

No problem - better he did now than later on http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

1 more player required.

Tals

[Turin]

I´d like to play.
I feel a strong urge to play Caelum to satisfy my powergaming needs http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif.

[RonD]

So I'm not hearing much call for mods. That would be a first for me - I've never played a game without any mods (in my whopping total of 5 games).

One last question - what settings do you plan for indies, sites, etc.?

Not unusual - i'm playing a game at the moment without mods http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

In terms of server settings I will be using the default - the only amendment is I will allow renaming.

Tals

[Folket]

Tals, so put Turin in the game and start up a server.

This will turn instresting.

Yeah agreed, I have and I now have all Gods except

Waiting on Gods
Turin Caelum
Ron D Water Nation

Once I have those Gods emailed to me i'll start the server - its all ready and waiting http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Tals

[Tals]

Please note i'm changing my God to man - hadn't quite appretiated (Ulm was going to be my first visit of that nation) that Ulm was such a negative magic user.

Game maybe up tonight or tomorrow http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Tals

[Tals]

Please note game is now up - you should have all received an email to this effect (note the subject should have said sf_aran not oo_aran, other than that it is all correct.

If you didn't receive an email then i've made a type so send me a pm. In addition this email is what you will now receive everytime a turn is generated.

Can I remind you all that autohost is set to 48 hours - if there is a problem genning a turn, let me know before hand I can always turn it off on a temporary basis.

Unwise banners mod http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

http://ulm.illwinter.com/dom2/Unwise_Banners.zip

Would resolve this, but I would need to restart the game. Very early days so we can do this. If everyone votes for a restart then we'll do and load up with unwise and restart otherwise continue on.

Tals

[Folket]

I see no problem as it is. I have never had problems to tell dominions apart.

Agreed. Let's press on!

[ioticus]

Server seems to be down now.

[Tals]

My apologies was testing the effect of standby - standby - not good http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

OK waiting on Folket, once I get this turn we will be on 48 hour autohost and quick host.

Nah, not complaining... should be fine http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[Ed Kolis]

Ummm... did we restart or something? I loaded up the game and it says all slots are open... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

[Tals]

Nope, turn was genned and we are now on Turn 2 so you need to do the next turn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I'd suggest re choosing your race and you can then do your turn. Loosing which race you are (which I think you are saying http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif ) - you should have an sf_aran directory in your dom 2 directory with a .turn and .2h file in it. I think this is how it remembers what race you are.

It doesn't matter though - reselecting it doesn't lose anything.

Tals

[Tals]

Please also note all players should have got an email to indicate that the next turn had been genned - if not let me know (still do your next turn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif )

Ah, that makes sense now - my filesystem got messed up and I had to reinstall everything, so there *is* no such directory yet! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Yep its something to remember if you use different machine to access the turn server. If you submit on one and check/amend on the other you will loose your instructions. The easy solution is to copy the .2h file between the two machines.

Loosing the sf_aran directory is no problem it will recreate it with the appropriate files next time you access - but remeber to check your orders are in place http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Tals]

Server just needed a reset - if you had probs getting in, note port has changed to 2013 - which is why I sent new instructions to all players

Players outstanding are:

I would say I am no better than "fair" at best, but thanks for the compliment! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[Folket]

I have never played multiplayer before, to say that I'm outstanding is a gross overstatement.

[Tals]

lol guys - get those turns in http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Tals

[Ed Kolis]

OK, I got the email, and it said "new turn generated" but when I went to check, there was no new turn... do I need to do anything or are my orders safe?

[Tals]

Regarding turns in, if you're not sure i'd suggest checking - the server had an error which stopped it working so I had to reset it. If you have submitted a turn I suspect it will be fine but always worth that check http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

In terms of connecting are you using port 2013 - which has changed.

Tals

[RonD]

I find that the email arrives a few to several hours after the actual hosting - so you may have already played the turn.

[Tals]

I'm guessing that is an isp problem. The mail server sends direct to the isp's smtp mail. I'm also on the list it sends to and for me its instant - so it could be a yahoo issue.

Waiting on player Arco at the mo.

Tals

[Tals]

Currently waiting on

ioticus Arco

24 hours till next host.

Tals

[Ed Kolis]

That's odd, it says 29 hours now... did you reset the timer?

[Tals]

Nope.

[Tals]

Waiting on

Turin Caelum

21 hours till next host

Tals

[Turin]

new turn. Sorry for taking so long.

[Folket]

Seems like I have an early lead on provinces... guess it is a little early to draw any conclusions. I'm suprised that I have not bumped into an other player yet.

[RonD]

Turn 11 - Caelum is eating C'Tis for breakfast. I wonder who is on the lunch menu?

[Turin]

The peaceful nation of Caelum was viciously attacked by the evil lizards.
With great regret my Seraphs left their homes to defend themselves against the ruthless aggressors.

[Tals]

34 hours to autohost, waiting on Ermor.

Tals

[Folket]

48 hours to autohost, waiting on all exept for Ermor.

[Tals]

Nice one http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Turin]

38 hours to autohost, waiting on ermor http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Turin]

new turn. funny how both man and I got repelled in the same province by the nasty lvl 3 indies http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif .

[Tals]

Yeah - always worth watching the battles when that occurs - those mounted units proved to be very powerful, in your case I think your commander was too close to the action.

Tals

[Folket]

I like that we have been able to play two turns allmost every day. I hope we can keep this speed up.

I hope I will be able to turn the tide agaist the Arcosephale. Thier hordes of evil troops seems to have no end. But I think that in the end justice will triumph.

Let it be known that arcosephale attack me without any provokation from my part.

[ioticus]

Anyone want to contribute to the stop the undead horde relief fund? No donation is too small.

[Tals]

Agreed Folket turn pace is just right.

Please note server was down but it is now up - waiting on Arco and Caelum, 35 hours to host

Tals

[Folket]

Someone should tell ioticus that he can play two turns shortly after eachother when he is the last player.

[Tals]

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I have to say I love it when I get 2 turns together - allows the plans to be much better executed together http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Other than having then to wait till the next turn is ready.

Tals

[Folket]

It is time for us to bring down the caelum. They are to powerful for thier own good.

I must say that I'm really suprised that Ed Kolis hired mercenaries to take provinces from me with allmost zero income. I do not see the plan. It must be the taint of life that is making him act this unrational.

[Turin]

Hey the Caelum empire is still struggling with the very well fortified c´tis capital.
Surely the living nations must stick together to bring an end to the evil empire of the dead!
They will eat all of us if they aren´t stopped.

[RonD]

Perhaps if you used more than a single black hawk, the siege might progress more quickly? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

More like a desperate retreat into the ocean after getting several provinces wiped out with few or no casualties on the side of the invading Man http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[RonD]

6 hours to autohost - waiting on Arco.

[Folket]

Ed Kolis, would not the more logical way to tackle things be to fight back against man instead of geting more enemies?

[Ed Kolis]

Heh... maybe, but it seemed I was severely outnumbered, so I decided to go somewhere that maybe he couldn't get to me... of course you probably could, though... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

The Magnificent Meandering Mictlan Mercenary Minstral Show has reached Our realms.

We enjoyed the show.

Now We will kill them.

[Ed Kolis]

LOL!
That's a lot of M's... should I also send the Super Secret Sonic Search & Smash Squad? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Folket]

I seems like Man have recruited some shamblers. So I guess the water never was really safe. Is it Tals that is playing Man?

Yeah the shamblers have graciously agreed to work for man and work they do http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Tals

[RonD]

We were so impressed by the Magnificent Meandering Mictlan Mercenary Minstrels that We honored them personally. Sadly, two members of the troop missed the banquet. The other 20 were exquisite. Unfortunately, of 20 cooks, none were able to devise the perfect sauce, though cook 15 did develop a sauce that went exceptionally well with cook 14. The recipe now hangs in a place of special honor in Our kitchen.

[Turin]

The great peceful empire of Caelum is under attack. Hordes of undead have invaded and the lizards have somehow done the impossible, they broke the siege and are invading my lands.

Random events terrorize my provinces, knights and vampires attack every turn.

Lets band together to fight the undead menace! They want to conquer all living nations.

[RonD]

That one hawk couldn't hold them back eh? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Folket]

Well, I used summoned Lammathas in the battle for Arcosephale... that was a misstake I will never do again. It is ok with me that they atatcked my army. But the reall problem was that my army run in the wrong direction so that those evil mages could preper. What would have been a easy win now turned into a catastrophy.

[Turin]

Yes and I was very disappointed in his battle performance. I mean it´s a hawk. It has claws and stuff. Well maybe not much stuff, but CLAWS.
Now I will need to find a better SuperCombatant.

Hmm I could use another hawk. But with a lychantrops magic thingie! Then he turns into a werewolf. That would be cool. And the werewolf has CLAWS too. And a BITE. Awesome!
That would probably be twice as good as a hawk. And my next SC will be four times as good. And then eight times! But my werewolf hawk thingie won´t be defeated anyway!
So I guess I WIN THE GAME! Muahahaha

Turin the Master Strategistician

[Folket]

Anyhow, now I suggest a peace with Arcosephale so that they may join in the war against Caelum. RonD has expressed intresting in bringing they rule of terror to an end. I'm sure Tals will also see the great need for a common front against Caelum.

[Ed Kolis]

Well, I'm out... good game guys! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[Turin]

hmm strange I didn´t pay for the eternal kinghts anymore, but instead of going to the recruitment pool, they simply died.

Poor buggers I kinda liked them.

[RonD]

They'll be back - they're eternal, after all.

In other news...

Caelum's 2 drama, er, air queens have made their debut. Coincidentally, C'Tis now has precisely 1 unit remaining. Poor Ichabod must be feeling quite lonely and vulnerable all alone in his keep. We should all send him a card and some flowers. That oughtta cheer the old guy up.

[Tals]

OK if someone is holding off from the kill - don't, no one likes to run around with nothing left.

Also Ctis or anyone for that matter - if you get to a point where the game is not enjoyable can you mark yourself as computer controlled through the options. That saves the game from slowing down to scheduled turns of 48 hours.

Despite my...reduced...position, I have been enjoying the game. A combination of travel and illness has kept me from getting to do the current turn as soon as I would have liked.

[Tals]

No probs Rev - my comments really reflect another game where i'm now having to force host. Hope you are feeling better and really glad you are enjoying the game - as am I have to say, good group of people.

Tals

[Folket]

Seems like Caelum are have defeated my rading party. But at least I managed to defeat thier god in battle before they all valiantly died.

... I defeated the god but I did not manage to wound him...

Seems like Arcosephale have repeatingly molestered corpses in thier pagan rituals, the dead are screaming out for vengence. If noone else will I guess I will have to take the heavy burden to help the brothers.

[Turin]

whoah man almost killed one of my drama queens. I guess I must be more careful with them. C´tis broke out of his cage again.And Ermor amasses one really big square on my border.

Everyone seems to become aggressive towards the peaceful empire of Caelum. We poor birdies just want to live in peace!

Flying is against the will of God !!!!

lol and my forces were Annhilated http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif Never seen such an awesome unit in action before. There was me thinking 1 commander in each space here we go guys into the breach lol.

Tals

[ioticus]

I've seen Caelums 3 air queens and pretender and I would say he's clearly going to win. Watching them destroy over 700 undead at my capital was pure joy.

[Turin]

Glad you liked the fireworks. The expeditionary air queen force has left your capital already, so next turn you should be supreme ruler of your home province again.

[Folket]

Seems like RonD backstabed me as well... I will learn that he is not to be trusted.

[Turin]

well putting up a burden of time is pretty much a "I declare war on all you living nations" sign. So you shouldn´t be surprised.

[RonD]

Folket said:

We had a non-AGGRESSION pact.

Did you give me 3 turns notice before your spell started killing and wounding *all* of my troops, everywhere????? I would call that aggression, any day of the week.

Who backstabbed who?

No, sir, it was you who broke our agreement.

[Folket]

Well, I did not think of it that way. But seems like our quarrel will only proppell Triharte(or whatever his name is) to true godhod.

[ioticus]

I can't connect to the server, which will probably cause me to miss a turn (again).

[RonD]

Looks like the server is back up. Plenty of time - 44 hours left on the clock.

[Tals]

RonD said:

Yep server actually crashed this time - not bad - first time in 3 weeks.

The previous time the server didn't go down - the router reset and that caused the ip address to change. Using the address i'd have posted would have meant you were ok http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

The only reason turns will pass by is if the internet connection is lost before I realise - as long as people post here then in the majority of cases I should catch it. One lost turn from a network issue out of what must be 46 can't be bad http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Tals

[Tals]

Really not my weekend http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif This time the routers power supply went pop. By luck I have a backup power supply so we're up and running. Only was down a few hours so I have no rest the schedule. 25 hours to host.

Tals

[RonD]

No worries, Tals. You've done an excellent job hosting, and it is greatly appreciated.

[RonD]

Oops.

As the issue isn't in doubt, I've just be playing around with what sort of anti-undead stuff I have available to see how it works. Note to self - always send *both* golem thugs, even if the opposition doesn't seem all that strong.

[Folket]

I think it is time for us to bow down our head to Trikharte. Surly there is nothing we can do to stop him from turning the earth into a flying nightmare. I even have some flying vinethingy outside my beautiful capital.

My guess is that I will have to greet them welcome this turn.

Are there any plans for seting up a new server soon or is everyone bent on fighting til the bitter end?

[RonD]

I wouldn't mind playing out 2 or 3 more turns, but you're certainly right that the end is not in doubt.

Of course, I don't think there been much doubt since, oh, about here:

[Tals]

I'm happy to play this as long or as short as necessary tbh Caelum proved what a worthless bunch of scoundrels my troops are http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

In terms of a new game I wouldn't mind taking a break for a few weeks and then maybe start a new one?

Tals

[RonD]

One of the AirQueens was vanquished this turn, trying to storm the Ermorian capitol without benefit of wrathful skies. She was not really equipped for mass hordes of undead and simply got overwhelmed and fatigued.

Of course, Caelum has 10x the gem income of the rest of us combined, so Aella will be back next turn, probably already fully equipped.

[Turin]

yeah I wanted to see if she could do it alone. Besides she got a crappy heroic ability so summoning her again won´t hurt http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif.
She simply got killed by drain life fatigue, which ermor didn´t have in the last battle.

My gem income is ~150+, normal income is 1,6k. I have a lot of the important artifacts, I´m summoning the fifth ice devil right now and the tartarian factory is running at 1/turn, I will start wishing once I get a proper titan, research is mostly maxed out. Oh and I´m out of global slots http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif.

[Folket]

St least I have learned some from this game. I do not think my captial wilkl hold out much longer but we are stockpiling just have a reinvigoration item in your next assault and Ermor will fall.

[Turin]

I will be away for a week, but I doubt it would hurt my position much even if I stale for several turns.

[Folket]

Well, I must thank Tals for being a great hoster but it seems like none of us are able to stand against Caelum.

So how many people are intrested in playing an other game?

[Turin]

Yeah the hosting was great. I don´t feel like continuing either.

[RonD]

Likewise, thanks to Tals for hosting.

I went ahead and played the next turn. If Turin wanted to throw some of his SCs at my main army, I'd be interested in watching the battle. But otherwise I also see no reason to continue the game beyond that.

I started out completely ignorant about R'lyeh. I learned a lot. I'd be interested in playing them again, though I will now have only stupidity as an excuse, not ignorance *and* stupidity.

[Tals]

hehe yeah likewise I marked my player as AI as I didn't want to ruin it for anyone else. I have to say congrats to Caelum really taught me a lot about Dominions 2 at the same time it taught me an aspect I don't particularly like http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

So at the moment my interest in Dominions 2 has gone negative http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif Possibly not helped by Civ 4 release. Anyway may change my mind in next few weeks but at the mo i'm down on the game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

So at the moment my interest in Dominions 2 has gone negative http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif Possibly not helped by Civ 4 release. Anyway may change my mind in next few weeks but at the mo i'm down on the game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Here is a tip, try a balance mod, they exist for a reason. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Trikhatre the Ghost King ventured forth to smite the assembled might of R'lyeh. Alone. Just to show that he could. Armed with Magebane, protected by The Barrier, he and his gaudy 100hp, 26MR, 21str, 34def gazed across the field in the last moments before combat, looking supremely confident.

He never moved another muscle. Paralyzed before he could so much as speak an incantation, he looked somewhat less confident by the end of Round 1. By the end of Round 2 it was already over.


I presume you can do better than that, Caelum. I'm hoping to see some fun fireworks. Should Ermor or Arco have a scout in the neighborhood and want to watch - the fun is in province 40.

[Turin]

well yeah he was a disappointment. I don´t really understand how he got paralyzed so early with his 26 MR.

what would you like next? Some devils? some titans? a horde of ghostriders? Or shall I just throw everything I have at your army?

[RonD]

Well, if it was a real war I'd expect to get a face full of Murdering Winter, Flames From the Sky and Ghost Riders - but that would be boring.

Bring on some SCs and let the sparks fly.

Oh, I think he got paralyzed through the magic of open-ended d6.

[Turin]

well the ghost riders wouldn´t be much use , because the leaders would get paralyzed/killed easily. But I wonder how a combined force of illusions/ghostriders would work.

[ioticus]

I haven't been able to connect for days now . . . .

[Tals]

As I am not playing I need to be told if you are having issues connecting. For some reason the game had locked. I've restarted it and the turn then genned - took about 1/2 hr to gen - so likelihood is it crashed during turn gen.

Anyway game back on enjoy. When you guys finish can someone please say http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

So after I crushed the remaining forces of RonD I guess it´s time to end this. I have attached my turn file, so all of you can experience the glory of the mighty Caelumnian army http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif .

[RonD]

Yep, in keeping with the whole spirit of the game, Turin brought 685 troops against my 150. Guess I should have opened with master enslave....

Thanks for hosting, Tals - you did a bang-up job.
