[Upload pretenders] Doomsday 5

[Ossa]

I'm getting borded lately, so I have decided its time to open up a new version of Doomsday - insane scales for some epic battles.


ERA: Middle Age
MAP: Glory of the gods (MP)
Turns RATE: 24h until majority want more.
Players: 8-12
Mods: ...CBM 1.92
Victory condition : last one willing to fight on;)
Diplomacy : Everything is allowed.


Settings:
Money, supply and ressources: 200%
Special site frequency:70
Renaming:On
Score graphs:On
Hall of fame entries:15
Research very difficult.

Diplomacy should be considered binding - BUT for the leading nation in at least three of the score graphs. All treaties with the leading nation are to be considered non binding as long as said nation is still on top in three categories;)

Contenders:

X Redcloak Ossa
X HoleyDooley the fork-tounged
- Lawbringer Torin
- king op apes Hawk120
X Jade empire Admiral_Aorta
X Pan Tigerblood
X dark elf Ragnarok-X
- stonewall Xerxes

Upload your pretenders, please!

[Ossa]

Ah yes, I'll go with the Bakebonos.

[tratorix]

I'll take R'lyeh, please.

[HoleyDooley]

C'tis

[Torin]

Mictlan, please.
Unless we are too few. Because the map is too big. Unless theres only one water nation.

[Ossa]

bump.

we might also switch to a smaller map if we should start with fewer ppl.

[Admiral_Aorta]

I'll take Tien Chi, I haven't played them before.

[TigerBlood]

Pangaea please.

[Ragnarok-X]

Im in, Machaka.

[HoleyDooley]

Late change, Abysia thx.

[Ragnarok-X]

Update ?

[TigerBlood]

So are we waiting for more players?

[krpeters]

--nevermind--

[Admiral_Aorta]

I was just checking another game on the llamaserver and I noticed that this game is up and waiting for pretenders. I guess that means we can upload them?

[HoleyDooley]

Damn I forgot this was an unusual setup game. Tired out Absyia, didn't like it. I'm back to C'tis and will submit pretender shortly.

[CyborgKillerMonster]

Can I take arcoscephale? More elefants for the Elefant God!

[Ossa]

Yep, feel free to upload your pretenders. Cyborg - thats ok.

[Admiral_Aorta]

Uh, this game seems to have gone from the waiting for pretenders list. It seems to have started with only 4 players. :confused:

[HoleyDooley]

I just checked, it still appears to be awaiting for Pretenders from I can see.

[Admiral_Aorta]

Wierd, now I'm seeing it in the waiting for pretenders list again. Edit: My pretender was uploaded fine, so I guess it was some wierd cache error or something.

[Xerxes2504]

If its still possible to join and you dont mind noobs in the game, i would like to as Agartha.

[Ragnarok-X]

I got my pretender in, sorry.

[Admiral_Aorta]

The game hasn't started yet, so you should be able to join. This game might be a bit challenging for a new player though.

[tratorix]

Gonna have to back out on this due to time constraints. Have fun guys.

[Robespierre]

If I can still join I would like to as R'lyeh.

[Ragnarok-X]

I think this game is dead as in no post or update in 7 days.

[HoleyDooley]

Submitting pretenders has been open for well over a week. Shortly after it opened I Pmed people who hadn't submitted. So we run with 6 or cancel is my vote, cause the others just ain't interested.

[CyborgKillerMonster]

Let`s play.

[Admiral_Aorta]

I can't see 6 players on a map this size going well, but what the hell, let's do this.

[Ragnarok-X]

Sure thing, im in.

[Ragnarok-X]

Game's on. Might be a few too many provs with 6 players though.

[Admiral_Aorta]

I'll be away from a computer with dom3 for a few days, so can the timer be put on hold until then?

[Ossa]

I'll set it to delay after this turn (you seem to have submitted already;) )

[Admiral_Aorta]

I'm back, I sent my turn in.

[TigerBlood]

Can quickhost be turned back on?

[Ragnarok-X]

Sorry, but is anyone actually having "fun" while doing this mindless expansion ? 100 provs per player ?

[TigerBlood]

Well, I've met one of my neighbours.

Pimp-slapping a clumsy rush attempt is pretty fun ^^

[Admiral_Aorta]

I don't think it's 100 provinces per player though it feels a bit that way. I'm not quite sure why we didn't switch to a smaller map.

[HoleyDooley]

Yeah, the slower reasearch which I really like looks like it will be counter balanced by ones ability to produce massive numbers of mages a turn.

[TigerBlood]

I had not realized research was more difficult until you pointed it out...

[Ragnarok-X]

Im very sorry, but im out.
We should never have started the game. Its very boring if i may say so.

very sorry.

[TigerBlood]

Why does this always happen?

I get a start that I am happy with. Everything goes according to plan, maybe even better than I planned for.

Then people quit and start staling.

Never seems to happen in games where I have an unlucky start and the RNG works against me...

[Ossa]

My thoughts exactly... it's not that this wanst planned as a different game than what you're used to...

[Ragnarok-X]

Frankly, if i wanted to play a game like this, i could as well just play against the AI. What have i been doing for the last 10 or 15 turns ? Basicly, conquering indis, churning out fortresses and building research guys. This map is far too huge for the few of us. In addition to having far too many provs, money setting is too high as well.
We are 6 players and the game was planned for Players: 8-12. Playing this game is a waste of time to me. Im sorry i didnt post this 2 weeks ago.

[Admiral_Aorta]

The game was planned with different settings than normal but with a reasonable number of players. The micromagement is already annoying and it's turn 15 and I'm not even at war with anyone yet. I'm inclined to quit as well to be honest.

[Ossa]

Well... maybe it would be better then if we quit this or just leave it to the ppl who would like to play on regardless. (Me, for example).

[HoleyDooley]

If everyone wanted to soldier on then I would be fine with it.

I have similar feelings to Admiral and Ragnorak. Too big a map for the number of players. Its been pretty boring to date honestly.

[CyborgKillerMonster]

NO! This map small and intimate! Big and strong enemies are everywhere!:hurt:

[Ragnarok-X]

I would appreciate it if the admin would set me to AI or whatever it takes so i dont receive turnfiles anymore.

[Ossa]

You have to set yourself to ai - noone else can do it.

[Ragnarok-X]

Even after setting myself to AI controlled i sitll receive turn files.

doh.

[Admiral_Aorta]

The sheer size of this game and the micro management are getting to me, should I find a sub or just go AI? I expect finding a sub would probably work better for those of you still playing.

[Ossa]

I doubt anyone would enter - I'd set myself to ai in your case.
Ragnarok - I'll check this:/

[Admiral_Aorta]

Ok, I've set myself AI now.

[CyborgKillerMonster]

Stale! Again! Maybe set 36h?

[Ragnarok-X]

Im still receiving turn files etc. Ossa, please someone get me out of the email thingy, please.

[HoleyDooley]

Hi ossa,

I can access the internet twice a day now so you can go back to regular hosting time if need be,

Cheers,
