Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players Full

[Folket]

During the Time of the Pantocreator the world was divided into realms. Each of these realms was inhabitated by diffrent races, ignorant of eachother. These realm was connected by hidden gateways, three in each province. The Pantocreator put lots of his lifeforce into the gateways and after the construction was finished he noticed that there was a flaw. The Gateways was slowly siping out his lifeforce. Before the Pantocreator was able to do something about this he was to weak and fell into a coma.

Other powerful creatures have not noticed the slow stream of lifeforce coming from the gateways, and have started to gather it. Among these creature there are six, who are claiming to be gods. These creature know that if they can gather enough of the Pantocreators lifeforce they may become the new embodyment of the Pantocreator and become the new only true god of all creation.

This will be a very diffrent game, since each province will have at most three neighbours and these naighbours will be scattered across the map.

We will play culamultive VP. Each province is worth one VP and first to 50 VP wins the game.

I would like to play without mods and house rules are added if people want it.

We will play on Ossya map made by Dfan.

Players
Folket - will pick nation later
Dfan - will pick nation later
ajr - Kailasa
Evilhomer - Lanka
FAJ - Mictlan
Tyrant - Argatha

[ajr]

I'd be up for this game, as long as I can also wait a bit to choose my nation.

--
Edit: Since no one else has claimed it yet, I'll take Kaisala.

[Evilhomer]

Sign me up
Im currious about the new nation so I'll test those ...

Edit: by test i mean try them in this game

[FAJ]

Sign me up, will choose nation later.

edit- Sign me up for Lanka

[Tyrant]

Argatha please, as long as this is hosted and not PBEM

[Shovah32]

FAJ, sounds to me like evilhomer picked lanka already though i could be wrong.

Good luck to you this game! Might be easier to play Kailasa, though.

You know, I'm not sure I've managed to spell that correctly yet without looking it up, despite playing them for 40+ turns.

I thought he said he was going to test those before making his decision.

If his testing proves that he wants to use them, I'll just choose another nation. Only 6 players, lots to choose from http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Err, you have some company, as I was calling you Kaisala in my negotiations with other players in that game!

[FAJ]

If he is sure that he wants Lanka, I will choose Mictlan Instead.

[WSzaboPeter]

If someone drops out before start I would be glad to join. Thanks a lot.

[Tyrant]

When are we going to start?

[Sheap]

Do you have all six players? I can start the server whenever.

[Folket]

Yes, I thought I had changed the topic. I will mail you the map tomorrow, so you may start the server now.

[DominionsFan]

I am totally fine without using any mods. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
As for house rules, dual l9 blessing will be allowed, or we gonna stick with the max 1xl9/everything else max l8 blessing rule?

[Folket]

That is up for suggestion. Perhaps we should limit blessings or even play no blesses above 4 game. Or we could play a superbless game, where everyone tries to outbless eachother.

[Tyrant]

1) DominionsFan- you don't seem to be signed up for this game, so why the post about settings?

2) I'd prefer no house rules about player choices or wierd mods. As far as I know, no one has actually finished a net game with strangers, and until 15-20 have been played I regard various people's theories about balance as speculation. The worthy heroes mod is very minor and fun, so I wouldn't object to that one. I don't mind diplomacy rules if someone feels strongly about them.

3) Sheap- are you hosting without playing, or is Folket hosting?

[DominionsFan]

Tyrant: Dfan = me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Folket had an idea to play without level9 blessings, and limit it to l4. This sounds like an interesting idea, and I am fine with it, but I am also fine with the l9 or dual l9 rule. So lads, decide it today/tomorrow, and we can start to play. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

If we're playing with no l9s at all, I'm going to want to choose a different nation.

[Tyrant]

Dfan = you, duh, now i understand.

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

[Evilhomer]

its intrresting with a low bless game but you really screw some nations (like mictland). Personally im fine with any setting tho.

[Folket]

I think Mictlan can work fine in early era. I voting for lvl 4 blessings anyhow.

[Folket]

Of course people can change nations.

[Sheap]

Tyrant: I am hosting, will put the server up for uploads tonight. Should have done it this weekend but did not realize the game was ready to start.

[FAJ]

so, max 4 or what?

It will be a bit of a pain to have to empower your gods to cast high level spells.

Max 6 maybe?

[Tyrant]

Sheap- i don't think think we really are ready to start until after we set the rules. Looks to me like only 2 of us have cast clear votes-

me- no house rules
Folket- bless limit 4

I think Folket gets to break ties since this is his puppy, but I'm going to change nations if there is a bless limit. I'll likely take Marveani (sp?) but i'd want to think about it a bit and come up with a new plan.

[FAJ]

I would like to switch to Ermor.

My vote is for no house rules.

[ajr]

I would also prefer no house rules; if we do end up limiting pretender paths to 4, I would like to switch to Niefelheim.

[Folket]

ok, no house rules there is, SO let us play a fast and furious uber-bless game.

[DominionsFan]

Well than I will play with Niefel.

[PS. I vote for a max l4 bless rule, to make the game more interesting but ah well. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif]


However imo we should really only allow 1xl9 blessing...else this will be a war between uber blessed sacreds.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Evilhomer]

Lets compromise then, 1 lvl 9, rest no higher than 4

[Folket]

There is no compromise.

I will play Helheim.

[FAJ]

If no house rules, Ill stick with Mictlan then.

[Sheap]

OK, server is up for pretender uploads.

66.171.171.25 port 2004.

Since people claimed a bunch of early era nations, I started the server as early era.

Before the game can actually start, I need to know the server rules including:
supply/income/resource levels
magic site frequency
score graphs
and for victory points:
How many provinces should have victory points, and
Whether any of those provinces should have 2 or 3 VPs or if all should have 1.

However I do not need that information to put the server up for uploads.

I started the server with no mods and 3.04. You are stuck with 3.04 but if I am wrong and there should be a mod, let me know.

[DominionsFan]

I suggest to play with normal settings, without score graphs. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

PS. My pretender has been uploaded. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

[Folket]

I think it will be better to have score graphs on since otherwise the game will end and noone will understand why.

[ajr]

I'd like score graphs (and renaming) on.

[Sheap]

Power failure caused server outage today. In the future, use this thread (http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=479072&page=0&view=collap sed&sb=5&o=&fpart=&vc=#Post479072) for server problems and information.

[FAJ]

I am in favor of score graphs.

[Tyrant]

I have upoaded, but i need the map.

I'm indifferent on the matter of score graphs, would like renaming and 15HoF.

[Sheap]

Just waiting on Mictlan to upload now.

[Sheap]

Mictlan has finally uploaded. I will start the game sometime in the next 4 hours.

[Sheap]

Server is ready. Everyone check everything and make sure it's right. Nuzzles.

[ajr]

Other than having the worst starting position in the history of the universe, everything looks OK from here.

[FAJ]

I start with the ability to move to an enemies capital?

Its kinda weird that you cant travel one distance to adjacent.

[DominionsFan]

Good luck & have fun lads! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

*edit*

It seems that the server is down? I cannot connect.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Folket]

Well, FAJ that should be exptected when reading the introduction. It will be very strange game. I have never said anything else.

[Tyrant]

So....one turn and then the server went down and no posts, is this game scratched?

[DominionsFan]

No clue, yesterday I wanted to do my first turn, but the server was down, I logged in right now, but the server is still down...:(

[Sheap]

Sorry guys, my power died almost immediately after game start and has been out for three days. I have power back and should be able to restart the server tonight.

[Sheap]

Server is running, hopefully, we can get to turn two soon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Lanka, Helheim, Niefelheim are out. 24h timer starting now.

[FAJ]

Woah, I was super absent minded the last few days I guess. Forgot to blood sacrifice.

GG everyone D:
