@Jimbo: Yeah nation mods are welcomed if balanced. I might take one also.
@Admiral: I'm planning to launch it on Llama's.
@ossa: Don't miss the starting bell this time ;)
@all: Should i put a :skull: in front of Executor & GFSnl names so everybody knows where the danger come from ? :)

I'm going to give Alugra, the City of Wonders, a spin. It looks totally weird, so this might end very badly for me, but at least it should be fun.
There is an MC file for Alugra (named "City of Wonders"), so it is basically good to plug into a 1.92 game as-is.
So are we going to be creating a single "master mod" file for this game? Its worth doing IMO (avoids a lot of confusion), and I am willing to help make it if you want once we know what mod nations are in the game.

Hard to tell, after a quick look, if it's a balanced nation or not considering how odd this nation is.
If nobody argue against this choice i'm fine with it.

If you're going to play a mod nation, can you provide a link to them, so we can take a look at the nation's strengths and weaknesses? Uh, purely for science's sake.

Are we going to use an All Age Mod?
Cause as it stands now both Niefelheim and Jotunheim are in the game.
Don't know if All Age Mod works very well with custom mod nations.
Bullock
January 2nd, 2012, 02:23 PM
It's an EA only game.
Please check your nation and if it isn't a EA one pick something else.

Sounds like a powerful nation: Good troopers/cavalry/archers & versatile cap mages.
But if nobody is against this pick i'm fine with it.

I'm not all that interested in playing with mod nations that I'm not familiar enough with to know whether they are balanced or not.
I should perhaps withdraw from the game.
Bullock
January 2nd, 2012, 05:39 PM
Well after some thoughts i think i won't allow nations mods on such a big game while we don't know how balanced they will be in late game. I'm saying that, because i just realized that the Alugra's mages will have a very low upkeep with this odd mechanics.
And I also have some doubts about the Atreus balancing.
I'm sorry for both players who picked a nation mod, and hope they will join us with one of the original nations. I will prolly make another game, smaller, dedicated to nation mods in a few weeks to give it a try.

In the interests of science (or, in this case, super science!) here is a description and then a link to the mod itself:
Name: Alugra, City of Wonders
Author: Burnsaber
Desc: Alugra is a human town built upon a huge underworld nexus of magical leylines. For ages, pure and undiluted magic has been seeping from the very soil of Alugra. Some lucky inviduals are affected by the magic and turn into 'gifted', superhumans with inhuman speed, resilience, strength and strange magical abilities. Once people in Alugra started to get magical powers, people started to move in Alugra, hoping to become something more than a meek human. The huge increase of population in short time has made the city into a hive of criminals, who have already managed to expand their power outside the magical city. Some of the gifted want to enslave these ungifted cattle while others want to protect them from the latter. This dance of Heroes and Villains has been going on for centuries, but now Alugra is united for the cause of the one true awakening god.

Bullock
January 2nd, 2012, 06:12 PM
Ok great !
i'm updating OP for the giants, abysia & monkeys.
Dooley need to pick a new nation.
We also need another sea nation.
Few more players would be perfect to start this game. (20 players would be very nice)

A 2nd water nation sounds mandatory to me. (we can still have one or 2 lands nation though)
Anyone for Atlantis or Oceania?
Reminder : The game is up to receive pretenders.
Admiral_Aorta
January 4th, 2012, 05:53 AM
I think I'll hold off submitting a god until another water nation enters, I may need to tweak my strategy depending on which nation gets chosen.
welltimat
January 4th, 2012, 06:05 AM
BTW. 19 nations for Cradle means some nations will be just 2 provinces away.
Bullock
January 4th, 2012, 06:16 AM
If we have 20 lands nations + 2 water, everybody has an average of 10 prov to expand. That also mean everybody will have a neighbor at 2 or 3 prov away and, in that sense, it make the game fairer than for smaller games without fixed start. However i m maybe overestimating the random starter AI.
@Admiral: do you mind picking a land nation if we don't find an other water nation player ? If so, maybe reserve one of the few remaining land nations.
Scaramuccia
January 4th, 2012, 08:02 AM
Reserve a water slot for me instead of Ulm - I still in doubt Atlantis or Oceania will decide in 1-2 hours.

The carrot and the "shtick"
Surrounded by devils and staring across the battlefield at a dozen virgins, Bogus was persuaded to join forces with Abysia. Under his new contract he will be answering any and all questions relating to love,life, laughter and "head chopp'n!" as he so eloquently put it. His fee will be 1 gem of any variety and a boneless squirrel. All corresponance will appear in his "Dear Bogus" column in each Sunday's Burning Times. Bogus holds a masters degree in sociology from Carleton college and in his spare time raises sponges in a home aquarium. He currently leads an anger management class that emphasizes stretching, healing, forgiveness, and painful disembowelment of one's adversaries. Regretfully, Bogus's fellow adventurers could not be persuaded to join our newspaper staff. Funerals will be held Tuesday at St. Mary's church in Faribault at 11:30am. Cake and coffee will follow the service.

I was under the impression that the reason that sectarian violence has flourished in Iraq and Iran was because of our presence preventing a strong secular government from existing.
I could easily see USA becoming a fertile ground for sectarian violence if a foreign power were to undermine Washington. KKK and other churches would be happy to take arms the second there is a weakening of government policing.

Took drain with a sage pretender banking on fire lanterns. However... it took waaay longer than expected to get to const 6since I was penniless.
Took O3P3 for cash but...
surrounded by buku wasteland
%#$@! Cap under relentless unrest. Forced to sell fire gems for mages.
<crap>
Two expansion parties work well until each collides with much stronger expansion forces from Lanka and Arco. Early rush options are now unpalatable given neighbors... Lanka/Yomi/Arco(elephants).
Broke... so switch strategy to soul contracts and blood hunting. Get 10 contracts and decide I'm done turtling.
Declare war on strongest player :smirk:
1st battle.. Inflict heavy caualties but lose 100 devils. Hmm... send horror significantly effective on massed wyverns.
Get jumped buy Mict who I thought (incorrectly) I was napped with. Blood provs gone. Poor Cap defense strategy (never go 1/2 way)
Heavy Death blessed Jags pull down Send Horror with massed afflictions (nice bless Mict). Nukes are ineffective. Foolishly attack with last Arch devil with attached devils. Untouched Arch routs when handful of attached devils get slaughtered. <sigh>

Hello Everyone
I have taken over control of Mictlan from GFSnl. So please can you send all diplomatic messages concerning Mictlan to me from now on. I have only just had my forum account activated (or I would have posted here earlier), and I have turned on the "use PM system" option, so I should be able to receive PM's. If it doesn't work though, then I can be contacted on the Dom3mods forum.
I have sent in the current turn for Mictlan (several hours ago actually), and also sent an in-game message to all nations informing them of Mictlan's change of ruler, and several other in-game messages to nations I have been told (by GFSnl) that have current diplomatic agreements with Mictlan. But if you do not get an in-game message from Mictlan this coming turn (besides the general message I sent to everyone), then I am not aware of any diplomatic agreement between Mictlan and your nation. As such please don't blame me later if I inadvertantly break an agreement I didn't know existed.
And I hope I can make a good enough show of myself in a game that looks as if a lot of nations are fairly evenly matched.

I have just noticed that you are advertising for a substitute for your position in this game (and one other game), but I can only speak for myself and say I think it would be sad and a real shame if you had to lose all the time you have put into playing this game, and miss out on the possible reward for getting your nation to one of the top positions.
So would it help you to keep playing if the game had a longer playing time than it does now? Or will extra time not really solve your current time problems? I've only played a few turns as a substitute, so not sure how much say I can have not being one of the original players. But I would not mind having less turns each week if it meant we could keep a player who has played from the start of the game, and who is in with a good chance of winning. Since I think it is not unreasonable for someone to be given a chance to try and get the reward from their good play by the other players agreeing to longer turns if it helps.
And sorry if I've spoken out of place, but thought it best if it helps save a player from having to leave the game. As that seems the worst outcome :(

To Szumo
The only other MP game I have played so far recently had a 3 week pause to accommodate a player who was moving house, and there were no problems there with the game resuming after the break.
So maybe ask the other players if they are happy to put the game on half-pause for a week by changing the turn limit to a one week timer (with quickhost on as you mention) so that you are not forced to miss any turns, and then if you can play turns during that week then the game will still be active pretty much as normal. And if you can not play turns then the game will just be paused for a week (which is not the end of the world or the game).
I know I would have no objections to this if it allowed you to stay in the game, and a week isn't really that long at all, and certainly not long enough to lose a player in a PBEM game over (or to force a player to miss a turn at a critical stage of the game for him).
Can I please ask what the other players think about this?

April 27th, 2012, 04:20 AM
To TigerBlood
I think it is very disrespectful to me (as your foe) and to all the other players to simply walk out of the game like you have done. Especially when you still had significant resources left to fight on with IMO (plenty of mages and troops, and last turn you had 16 provinces, 5 forts, 1193 gold income, 43 gem income, which is a lot of resources).
I only recently started playing multi player games, and I did so for no other reason than wanting to fight against human opponents rather than computer ones. As I can do that anytime by playing single player games. This is the only game I am playing on these forums, but I know that the other forum I am playing on (Dom3mods) takes a very strict stance against players turning themselves computer controlled. I only hope that you are an exception to the normal players on these forums.
Sure your position was tough, but you are not going to learn anything by just quitting when things get difficult, and there are several counters to the three! Zmeys I was using against you in that army. As if they were such a problem to you why did you not trade for a Storm Staff with one of the three strong Air nations still in the game? Or use the Air mages I have seen that you have to cast Storm? As Storm seems to shut down a Zmey very quickly from what I understand, so you had available at least two easy options to deal with them. (and the ones that Szumo mentions)
Next time can you please have some consideration for the other players who are playing in the same game as you, and remember that some players are only playing multi player games because they do not want to play against computer controlled nations.

I have no Zmey counters and will likely get curbstomped before I can produce any effective counters. Marverni is going AI.
All the druids can cast gifts of heaven. ALL of them. This nation has 2 research targets. Summon earthpower (conj 3) and Gifts of heaven (evo 5). That make them kill basically everything.
(Getting thaum 1 for communions, and alt 1 for eagle eyes, and earth grip is a bonus. But you only need conj 1 to hold a SC rush (tangle vines) and your own troops can stop a lot of sacred rushes).
Evo 1 gives the star gazers star fires, (also for the S random gutauters. (AN damage, always nice). And the water random gutauters slime. evo 2 gives vine arrow, so you can use your nature gutauters for that. So early game you only need evo 1 or conj 1.
This is all year 2 stuff. Or year 3 if you have some bad luck.
And even in the late game, 2 gutuaters with pd can use tangle vines to hold fast a zmey. Or a druid can cast alt 2 earth meld to stop the zmeys. (so you need alt 2 or conj 1).
Thaum has soul slay, mind burn, paralyze etc. All castable with your druids.
So unless the only thing you researched is construction, enchantment or blood. You should have ways of stopping the zmey. And every zmey killed is a large F gem investment removed.
You really have none of this?
Zmeys have no way of getting quickness without mage support, so a mage casting holdspells inside a large block of infantry is going to stop the zmey. Heck you only need 2 gutauters. As you probably have an earth blessing. Put them both in a large block of pd, have one cast blessing, the other tangle vines, and keep spamming tangle vines until the zmey is dead. (beaten to death by the pd).
TigerBlood
April 27th, 2012, 08:13 AM
Zmey's are not the major issue. They are preventing me from dealing with the the 100+ Jaguar warriors and chaff backed by a unique and other mages. Plus at least 1 tart raider from mictlan.
No disrespect to Ghoul either, his Dai Oni have ripped the hell out of my defensive force for the last 15 turns or so.
I can't focus my attention on one while ignoring the other. Gifts From Heaven, paralyse and other spells simply will not cut it, as I lack the resources to spam against Mictlan due to attrition from Yomi. I have 3 druids capable of dropping a turn 1 Gifts from Heaven. Even if I can get them to a battlefield with a chaff screen to stop them getting killed by Zmey, they're going to get taken out or suffer a forced rout by Mictlan's other mages in short order.
Call it disrespectful if you want. I call it pragmatic. I'm not going to be able to prevent defeat and I'm not going to learn anything by getting overrun. I overextended against Yomi and Miclan hit hard. Continuing to submit turns will not alter the outcome.

Why would I ask someone to sub when I have already been defeated? This is not an academic debate, it's simple math. Checkmate in 5 moves, so to speak. I could not change the outcome if I wished to. Why would someone want to step into that position?
I assure you, Marverni's position is not salvageable. If I had the resources to put up a good fight, I would stay in the game. Unfortunately, I have lost significant resources already and will not be able to recover sufficient force in time to deal with 2 hosile nations.
Getting your panties in a twist because I had to courtesy to explain why I was going AI, instead of simply bailing, is ridiculous.

You are not being pragmatic, you are being selfish. This game is not like chess where when you have no peaces you can do nothing but wait for checkmate.

Plus I am a new player and so certainly capable of making mistakes (I know this as every turn I can see many mistakes I made with the orders I did). And most importantly there are other nations in the game so that could mean many different outcomes are possible to our war, either by me being attacked using up my resources, or by someone attacking you to get your lands before I do, and end up fighting me in the process, giving you a chance to fight back. Saying you can not prevent defeat at such an early stage in our war is simply not possible to do given all the variables. You can say your chances are limited, but after just two battles you can not be as certain about the final outcome as you are claiming to be. (I don't see how anyone can at such an early stage and when so much can happen to effect the result)
If all players involved in sporting/gaming competitions simply gave up and conceeded defeat the moment they had to play a difficult match or game, then there would not be all the many stories of underdogs overcoming the odds to win famous victories against superior opposition. So if as you say you will not learn nothing by defeat then are you saying everyone should also give up and become computer controlled once they have lost a few fights. Or give up anytime something is difficult. I am sorry but that makes no sense, as every sport or game I know of you always learn more from losing than winning. So I think that comment you made does nothing other than highlight your selfish nature as a player.
So I am sorry but you are wrong, and I think you have been very disrespectful to me and the other players in this game, regardless of what you personally think. As it is other people that must judge your actions, you do not get to judge your own. As you have now left me to fight against a computer player, which is neither fun or why I want to play multi player games (or why I decided to offer myself as a substitute player in this game). But you did not consider this before making your decision to become computer controlled, as you only thought of yourself when deciding.
I do not want to have arguments with people on the forum, but I do not see why or how you can just do as you want and mess the game up for another player (or players) when you feel like it. Nobody should be able to do that when they feel like it. I just hope other players on these forums read these posts of yours and decide to stop you playing in their games as a result of your selfish and disrespectful behaviour here (as Admiral_Aorta wisely suggests). While it is obvious that Dominions 3 does not have the biggest gaming community on the internet, from what I can see I think there are certainly enough players around so that losing players like you will be a good thing rather than a bad one. There are plenty of real time gaming forums filled with players with your attitude, so may I suggest you go there as you will feel more at home with other players of your type.

Marverni and I beat each other up pretty bad. Then Mictlan just came in and slaughtered us both. I don't see what the big deal is
13 provinces against 41
36 gems against 151
army size 665 versus 8828
the guy is clearly dead already.

You're on a pretty good way from being banned from a lot of games TB, which I think is a good thing personally.
You've already pissed off and made a black book entry with a lot of folks on this forum and I can tell you with certainty you should not even try to join a dom3mods game from now on.
But please, don't stop, a lot of us find you quite entertaining.

I thought you weren't going to post anymore. Here is what you wrote
"I think I'll refrain from making any comments regarding anything on this forum from now on as dealing with the likes of you makes that rather unpleasant. "
I guess that promise didn't last long.

He can write! Seriously, that's the most actual words you've posted in the last 8 months. BTW, I didn't know you missed me so much ghoul.
I guess I lied, deal with it. I'm not going to try and talk sense into hats like TB anymore that's for sure but it's still fun to make fun of them.

Wow hold it you elitist pricks, there is no need to shout against Ghoul like that. Sure he might not be the most communicative dude around, nor be the best player, but this is uncalled for.
This isn't about Ghoul but about Tigerblood.

I had 6 communion slaves scattered around my forts. I had lost close to 60 mages in 4 turns. My Sc's, thugs and gear were lost via attrition from Yomi since TC was conquered. Aside from my pretender and a half dozen afflicted druids, I had no battle mages, none capable of standing up to a late game army.
I sent a tart in with cobbled gear to hinder Miclans advance with a couple of earthquakes, but it was taken out before I could even get a spell off.
You want to pontificate about Marverni's capabilities, go ahead. They were stuggling against Yomi as it was, then someone with a bigger and badder army begins steamrolling my remaining forces. I know when I am beaten.

I've forgotten i turn quickhost back off - doing that now and postponing hosting by a few hours to get back to previous hosting hour.
Bwaha - you need to ask for extensions before the turn has hosted, not after.
So what did Mictlan get? :)

Speaking of that they sent me back to the hospital, um can we wait til Monday?
Thx Bwaha

I would also please like to request extra time for this turn as I have been asked to work overtime today which will make it difficult for me to send my completed turn before tomorrow.
To Szume
I have sent you a message about this.

I'm going away overnight tomorrow morning and won't be back until the day after tomorrow, can I get a delay until then? I've submitted my current turn already.

May 25th, 2012, 10:20 PM
Actually I don't need a pause on the timer because my flight was cancelled.
Admiral_Aorta
May 29th, 2012, 11:35 PM
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask for another pause on the timer since I've got hardware problems. If it doesn't fixed in a reasonable amount of time I'll look for a sub.
Szumo
May 31st, 2012, 02:10 PM
Benett has asked me to pause the game as he wants to find a replacement player. It doesn't make much sense to play without most powerful nation, so i have no choice but to accept his request and pause the hosting.
Bennett
May 31st, 2012, 03:00 PM
To Szumo
I think I might have mistyped the message I sent you. I am ok for the current turn, and I have emailed it to the llamaserver a few minutes ago. So I do not need any delay. This will be the last turn I can play though so a new player will be needed starting from next turn.
I will write a new post now to try and find a player, but I might need some help as I do not know any players who I can ask, and I will not have time on the weekend to look for another player (there is a big holiday this weekend in Britain).
If anyone knows a player who can take over for me then could they please tell Szumo who it is. Thanks for any help I get.
Bennett
May 31st, 2012, 03:24 PM
To Other Players
I have sent a message to Szumo to ask him to undo the delay he added to the game, because I did not need it and with no quickhost you might be waiting for a long time for the next turn as he added on five days. I am sorry for the problem I caused.
I wrote a message asking for a player to take over for me. I hope that one will see the message and reply soon so that you do not have to wait to play the game. Thank you all for the game, and I am sorry that my problems with my job prevent me from playing anymore.
Best Regards

Hmm the reply that I typed seems to have not been posted, my hardware problems have been fixed so there's no need for a pause(apart from getting a sub for bennet that is)

Ok, game will host normally on Tuesday then, and let's hope Benett finds a sub after that.

Hello
No player has replied to my substitute request post, and sadly I am still unable to continue to play in this game due to problems with my job. I do not know what else I can do because I do not know any players who I can ask to play instead of me. I can send in empty turns, but I think that would only spoil the game. If someone has an idea to find a player then I would welcome their suggestion.
Szumo
June 8th, 2012, 11:55 AM
Well, i do not see much sense in playing without the strongest nation. Game postponed again, has anyone an idea what to do now?

keep on searching, I suppose. shouldn't be hard to find a player who wants to steamroll the world.

Anyone mind if I go AI?
I'm pretty much doomed at this point, and I just hate the end game...
But this was interesting to try the cbm.
I think I may do it again, but it is a way different game.
Maybe I can get my local group to try it...
I kinda feel like a newb in some respects... :o
Szumo
June 26th, 2012, 03:19 PM
I don't see much sense in continuing this game - we can't seem to find replacement for Mictlan, and i think we should just let the game die.
What do you all think?

I'm certainly not bothered by ending it, It's not as if I have any chance of winning. :p

Game over. Thanks to everyone who played.
Bwaha
July 1st, 2012, 05:09 PM
Thanks for the schooling there Szumo.
I would like to do it again, cbm really changes the game.
If I could get my local group to try it I think they would be sold on it. (Except for the gem gens)...
