Divine Struggle - Game started!

[Denisius]

Settings:
Era: Middle Era
Map: Modified Parganos (A version which has a somewhat fairer spread of terrains than the default, so you don't get one person with all the farmland). This will be a dead seas version, meaning the seas will give no income and contain no magic sites)
Players: 8
Game Settings: All at default, except for renaming, which will be set to on.

Note: You are free to pick whatever nation you wish to play, but avoiding 'super' nations such as Niefenheim would be appreciated.


List of current players:
Denisius - Arcoscephale
Ruminant - Pangaea
LordShaggy - T'ien C'hi
Vanslime - Marignon
Ossa - Ulm
KIM - Shinuyama
Nihil - Pythium
nozshand - Agartha


The game has been created, upload your pretenders to the 'Divine_Struggle' game.

Good luck, everyone.

(The map can be downloaded from the following link: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=39857&highlight=parganos)

[Ruminant]

I'm not sure what level of skill you were aiming for in the game (I'm a newcomer to the multiplayer scene). But if your fine with having someone who might not be quite as well versed in multiplayer intricacies I'd love to take Pangaea for a spin.

[LordShaggy]

Hello, is this open to new players?

I'd like to reserve T'ien C'hi. Is this a vanilla game (dead seas aside)?

Shaggy

[Denisius]

Yes, new players are most welcome.

The map aside, the game is completely vanilla.

[Vanslime]

Allright.

Sign me up for Marignon.

[Ossa]

I'd like to join as Ulm

[Denisius]

List updated. 3 more players needed.

[KIM]

Sigm me up for Ashdod :cool:

[Nihil]

Pythium for me if you dont mind :-)

[Valerius]

If you want to avoid overpowered nations you may want to stay away from Ashdod. Thought I'd mention it given some of the recent conversations on the forum.

[Nihil]

In the last patch that race was nerfed, though I am not too sure to what extent.

[Denisius]

Yes, it was nerfed to an extent in the last patch, I think I'll give it a go.

Just one more player and we're off.

[Valerius]

I think only Hinnom, the EA version of the nation, was nerfed, not Ashdod.

[LordShaggy]

Yes, the patch notes specify changes to Hinnom, not Ashdod.

[Goes to run test-duels against Ashdod.]

[nozshand]

agartha should be fun to play

[Lingchih]

Ashdod is like the Nazi blitzkrieg. Everyone else is like Poland. Just lurking around and thought I would mention that, since I just got steamrolled by them in another game.

Pah.Nothing will be getting past the Ligne Marignon.

[Denisius]

Alright, as soon as we get another message from KIM regarding his chosen nation, we'll start the game.

[KIM]

Well, no problem ,I choose Shinuyama.

[LordShaggy]

Noob question. What happens now? After the last player uploads, do we get an email from llama's server? should I already have sent my first turn?

[Ruminant]

Don't worry, I'm the last one to upload my pretender (just did it) so you should get an email with the first turn soon. Let the games begin!

[LordShaggy]

Epic Fail. I went out of town for thanksgiving, and I brought my laptop, loaded it up with Dominions, brought my turn file, everything I would need to command my armies from a mobile base of operations... Except my pretender. This is a terrible thing to ask, but can we put the game on hold until I get back to my desktop on monday? I'm really sorry, everyone.

[Vanslime]

Hmmm....

Since we uploaded our pretenders to the server,is there a way to get to them from there?

If not,I don't mind putting the game on hold.

[Ruminant]

No objections here.

[Denisius]

Very well, I'll put the game on hold, and message Llamabeast on the possibility of getting that pretender file.

[Nihil]

Once you have sent the pretender to llamaserver it is not necessary to have it in your computer in order to play, you can do it without it, but you will need the map file though.

[llamabeast]

LordShaggy, you don't need your pretender file. Just try opening the trn file. All you need are the trn file, the map and any mods. You should be able to get the map and mods from the forum somewhere if you don't already have them, so so long as you have the trn file you should be all sorted.

[LordShaggy]

Thank you everyone for the help, and I'm up and running again.

[Vanslime]

Eh, it was nothing.

After all,its not fun to massac- convert you demon peo- lost souls if you can't fight ba- discuss theology in a civil manner.

[LordShaggy]

Yay! Past turn 20 and still alive!

[nozshand]

just so everyone knows

Marignon has dishonored its NAP with Agartha, an attack has been made without any notification.

Now his force is been occupied in the land of Agartha, anyone wishes to take advantage of this is welcome to join with Agartha since the rule of NAP does not apply to magrignon.

SHAME on him

[KIM]

We respect our NAP with Agartha and declare a war against

unhonourable Marignon.

[LordShaggy]

Denisius,

I see you are AI. Are you returning, or are you passing on the admin password?

[KIM]

Hi guys, a 3 day turns seem good for the holidays.Denisius you are here ??

[Denisius]

Yes, I'm still here.

A 3 day turn has been set for the holidays.

[Ruminant]

Well, that's it for Pangaea. Nothing left but to set myself to AI and wish you all a happy new year.

[Ossa]

Can I get a delay until 4th of Jan? I'm on vacation;)

[Denisius]

Hosting postponed.

[LordShaggy]

Hi, can we get the hosting changed to 48 hour quick host?

[Denisius]

Hosting interval changed to 48 hours.

[LordShaggy]

I hate to be the weak link here, but I'm out of town doing romantic things till Tuesday. Can we delay hosting?

[LordShaggy]

Hey, I am very sorry to flake out at the end here, but it's pretty clear that my priorities lie elsewhere, as I keep missing turns. I have very much enjoyed this game, but feel like I am letting you all down. What's the procedure for getting a substitute?

[Nihil]

I give up! I think it is time to get Ulm declared as the winner of this game.

He is much bigger than I am, has more gem income, more armies... it is pointless to continue.

Congratulations!!

[Ossa]

Thank you! :)

This is my first MP win ever. I did not expect to survive the initial clash with Jomon, let alone win this game.

I'll conquer the rest of the world alone;)

[KIM]

Congratulations :up:
