Turn #55 sent.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Turn #56 sent.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Only 3 nations remain. Atlantis, Sauromatia, and one more, who is just hanging on by a thread, Mictlan!

Turn #57 sent.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Turn #58 sent.

Mictlan has requested a timeout all day tuesday, when he will be unable to play, but might get another move in today.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Turn #59 sent.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Turn #60 sent.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Should be able to get my turn in today.

RL got a firm grip on me at the moment (work & girlfriend witht he flu), but I should be able to keep up with 1 turn/day, with a bit of luck I might get more in, but can't be sure about meeting a 24h deadline each time.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

BTW, patch to 3.04 after playing turn #60 ?

CharonJr

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Okay, that's what timeouts are for. Use as needed.

I am playing in two other PBEM games so must wait to patch until the hosts of these games patch. Afterwards, I will patch.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Update:

My hosts are patching and my pre-patch turns for them have been submitted, so I will patch before hosting #60.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Turn #61 sent.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Turn #62 sent.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Oops, I goofed yesterday, sending .2h instead of .trn files.

Sorry for the delay. I guess I'm playing in too many games!

Turn #62 resent, new 24 hour deadline established.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Only two nations left now. Mighty Sauromatia and feeble Mictlan!

Turn #63 sent.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Turn #64 sent.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Turn #65 sent.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Turn #66 sent.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Congratulations to Solo for winning this one, I might have drawn out my death for some time, but due to a great tactic there was no hope I was going to win this one unless Solo was going to do me a favour and make a mistake, but it did not look like it.

Up for another game guys ? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

CharonJr

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

It was all due to an unexpected and tricky global spell, Utterdark. Thanks everyone for a good game. I am up for another and have emailed those in our group to see if they wish to play another together.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

I am game...any preference to era? I would like to try a game as man. Great game Solo and CharonJr and to everyone else. Anyone up for more RP this time? The only real problem I saw was that everyone was very quite.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

I would prefer early era again since I have not even begun to take a look at the other eras http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

My main problem with roleplaying is that while it is a very nice addition and adds flavor/fun to the game I mostly lack the time for it.

Even now my girlfriend is not too happy about me sitting in front of the PC for 1-2h each day after I get home from work at around 7pm http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

CharonJr

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Trouble with early era is that Man is unavailable. Middle Era is probably the best compromise, since it is most similar to Early Era and offers Man as a choice, and very similar to Dominions II, which I think we are all familiar with.

ajr has responded to my email saying he would like to particpate. I have yet to hear from Celestial Goblyn.

Would anyone else like to take a turn as the host for the next game. I am willing, but think it's best that we take turns doing this chore.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

I would be fine with Middle Era. I would also prefer a non-RP heavy game due to time constraints.

I'm willing to host this one.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Middle Era is fine. No problem with the RP BUT I will be providing a detailed narrative of the game from the perspective of one of my generals and/or priests. Of course the story will paint Man in the positive light but I think you all may get a kick out of reading about yourselves from man's perspective.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

If we decide on Middle Era, then I think I would like to play as Jotunheim this time.

Thanks ajr, for volunteering to host.

One game option I would like is Renaming. The map and any other options or groundrules selected by ajr for this game are fine with me.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

I thought the ground rules/options we had last time worked well, but I'm certainly open to discussion - I don't know if sacreds are as big a problem in MA.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

I would agree that there should not be any restrictions this time on sacreds.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Well, MA would be ok to me, too, but is has been more than 1 year since I last played Dom2.

I would like to stick to blood magic, so I think Abysia should be my MA choice, or are there any other blood heavy races in MA ?

Not sure if sacreds are a problem in MA either, but will try to take a look around the forums if there is anything about it.

CharonJr

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Looking over the sunraybe spreadsheet, the only MA nations I see with any blood at all are Absyia, Jotunheim, Pangaea, and Vanheim (although it's missing Marignon and Mictlan).

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Is this new game you folks are starting full/closed to new players?

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Looking at this thread:

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...&fpart=all

it looks like Vanheim, Machaka, Agartha, Ermor and Marignon would be the main culprits concerning being "overpowered" due to a heavy bless strategy. So if none of us wants to play any of those we should not even think about restrictions on bless.

But since I have played neither I have no idea even IF someone wants to play one of those nations a restriction is needed...

CharonJr

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

I have not heard back yet from Celestial Goblyn, so would assume he is not interested and would say that yes, we have one spot open if you would like to join the game.

Please be aware that we play at a rapid pace, using 24 hour deadlines between moves, although players are allowed to call for timeouts when special circumstances or illness require them to take a break.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

I can do that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I am on Pacific Standard Time.

Thanks for having me.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Okay, then I guess it's just a matter of creating Pretenders and sending them to ajr, who is hosting the game.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

What map and what rules ?

CharonJr

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Same as last game, except for bless restriction, according to ajr.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Let's try a new map. I suggest The Desert Eye. I am going to upload my pretender here so Ajr can pull it.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

without reading through all the posts again is there a post that says who is what? or are they just dotted in to the replies since the last game finished?

Heh, I underestimated how much nations change between eras. I was going to play Agartha but they are quite diffferent than EA agartha, specifically they lose those nice conj spells.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Sorry I've been so quiet here; Wednesday and Thursday are my busy days.

I believe the current position is:
Desert Eye
Easy Research, Renaming on, other settings standard
Ichtarian - Man
solo - Jotunheim
CharonJr - Abysia
Strages Sanctus - Agartha?
ajr - I'll take Caelum.

I have pretenders from Man and Jotunheim. You can post pretenders here or mail them to ajr-dom3 at club.cc.cmu.edu

If no one objects, I may move this over to a tcp hosted game once we're up and running; I need to do a little more script work before that's a viable option.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Are water nations allowed?

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

We allowed it last game, so I see no reason why not in this one.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Could I join or are all spots taken ?

if i can join I'll go with R'lyeh (if there is another water nation) or else Lanka

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

riyleh is who I was considering. Desert eye seems tight for two water nations since there are only 17 water provinces and 5 of those are landlocked

edit: also I don't think Lank is an option in MA, just Bandar and Shinuyama.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Well if you wish to be them im fine with Lanka or another nation...

was just thinking that its usuall to include another water nation to balnace out the first.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Ok, here is my pretender http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

CharonJr

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

I will upload my riyleh pretender shortly by editing this post.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

Looks like we are getting there. I am good with any map by the way. I suggested Desert Eye becuase it was a different map. I would just like to not play on the same map all the time. Its all up to Ajr.

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

I checked the map list; I didn't see anything more appropriate than Desert Eye, or I would have suggested it.

EvilHomer, I think we can probably get one more on this map, but I'd like to get the game going soon. Please try to get your pretender up by tomorrow morning so I can get things running. I don't think we need more than one water nation; five land+1 water will still leave more land provinces per player than there are water provinces, and all of the current nations have something resembling underwater capability (Abysia can reanimate, although they'd have to get a commander or trade for a ring of water breathing)

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

here's to hoping linksys takes me off obnoxious music and repeating message hold some time soon

Re: looking for an early age pbem game
 

It took so long to sort my comp out (well still not sorted so here is a new post with my pretender
