Ok... Pestin, you're C'tis. Viccio, Vanheim.

[Fantomen]

I´d like to play

[Lavaere]

Well I need a new game

[Juffos]

Me too.

[johnarryn]

Welcome.

Your nations are:

Fantomen - Abysia
Lavaere - Tien Chi
Juffos - Eriu

Also, please keep in mind that you should have the CB mod turned on when designing your pretender.

[Festin]

Can you please tell me where I can get the required mod to make gem-producing items unique?

[Calahan]

Here is the unique gem-gen mod. Although depending on when this game is due to start, the new CBM is due soon which incorporates this mod into it. So it won't be needed if you are using the new CBM.

[PAR]

i would like to play if there is still room

cheers

[Quitti]

Well, I'd also like to join if there's room. Time I got into more games than the few lategame ones I'm in.

[johnarryn]

Thanks for the link, Calahan. Yes, we will be probably be waiting for the new CB mod, which I understand is due out shortly.

PAR, you are Caelum
Quitti, Shinuyama

[DomDomDom]

I'd like to play

[statttis]

Count me in

[Caerun]

If there's still space left, I'd like to join in as well.

[Indrick151]

Um if there's still a place I'd like to join. It'll be my first multiplayer game though.

[johnarryn]

Well, it will be a slightly bigger than I had planned, but all in good fun.

DomDomDom - Pangaea
Statttis - Machaka
Caerun - Oceania
lndrick151 - Pythium

We actually will not begin until the new conceptual balance mod is out and usable on the llamaserver, but feel free to take some time to test pretenders on the old CB mod. Hopefully the new mod will be out within the week so we can begin.

I will let you guys know when the game is set up and you can send your pretenders in.

[Quitti]

Well, does anyone know if the new CBM messes up with 'tender chassises? If it does it extensively, there is not much point in trying to get out a perfect fit.

[johnarryn]

I imagine there be some slight fine-tuning... but probably not that different from current CB... and no, no perfect fits yet, but you can at least get a general idea for the pretender you want to make.

Also, lndrick151 has to withdraw from the game - better now than later, so good luck to him.

[johnarryn]

Hey guys. Conceptual Balance 1.6 is out and can be found here:

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=43949

Please create your pretenders and send them in in the next 48 hours. I will start the game up on the llamaserver shortly.

When sending in your pretender, send it to pretenders [at] llamaserver [dot] net

"NewHorizons3" should be in the subject of the email.

Good luck.

[johnarryn]

Game is set up. We will be using a map entitled "Consecrated Ground" which you can grab here:

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showpost.php?p=546272&postcount=1

You'll need it to play your turns.

Also, the game is set up, so send your pretenders in whenever.

[johnarryn]

Thanks for getting your pretenders in so quickly, guys. We are only waiting on Caelum and Machaka at the moment.

[statttis]

I have a battle where the replay doesn't match the results. Last time this happened it was because I was using a different version of CBM than llamaserver, but as far as I know, the CBM 1.6 from a couple posts up is the only version around. Help :cold:

[johnarryn]

Hmm... weird statttis, it is also happening with me (as I was on the other side of that battle) so I am not sure what's going on...

Also, as I am likely not long for this world in this game (damn you wimpy monkey troops!) I am going to be starting another random nation game, this time in the Late Age, also using CB 1.6. If any of you would be interested in joining, please feel free, either through PM or by posting on that game's thread.

[johnarryn]

I have set Tien Chi to AI, as Lavaere has staled three times in a row.

[johnarryn]

I'd also like to note that should anyone care to attack Machaka, a significant amount of his forces are tied down in their siege of my capital (which is thus far unharmed). Any potential enemies should probably attack now, as the Machakans are focused on destroying my pathetic monkeys.

[Quitti]

Too bad shinuyama does not have a border with Machaka ;)
Still, those spiders are scary sometimes. And simply the amount of archers they can recruit is staggering...

[johnarryn]

Down I go. I rather enjoyed trying out Bandar Log... it would have been nice if my primary defense against an early rush, elephants, wasn't completely ineffective against Machaka's black hunters. Still, very well played on Machacka's part.

I plan to remain as admin for the game, as I am on the boards fairly frequently. Good luck!

[statttis]

My turns have become complex enough that I'd like a move to 48hrs hosting.

[johnarryn]

Done.

[Festin]

I am a bit tired of doing a same turn for a third time. Maybe we could roll back to the first one after which the hosting errors started?

[Quitti]

The hosting did fine this time. Finally.

[Festin]

Aw, not again...

[Quitti]

Yeah, this sucks. I wonder what's wrong. I wouldn't want to script all my mages again and again every time this happens.

[PAR]

hello all can you switch me to AI as my internet will be down for another week and i dont want to hold things up

cheers ans sorry

PAR

[statttis]

Could we get a delay over the holidays?

[DomDomDom]

I join to this request. It'd be great to take a brake on holidays, especially for Machaka and Pangea :) .

[DomDomDom]

Pangea has at the moment 75% of territory, 70 tartarians, 30 tartarian comanders, all arch devils and devil lords, all 5 globals and countless hordes of maenads. Machaka, the only human player left is staling for many many turns. So it is time to stop, as Pangea obviously has won the game.
