Hoping that people will organise games on LlamaS..

Z:
agree, i want to be able to have a decent map before I start I game. I know from starting SP games if you leave it to the computer you can end up in some sorry spots.

I sometimes bother editing the map, sometimes not. Anyway, it's quite easy. What you do is load up the map in a new game, and note down the province numbers of provinces you think should be used as start positions. Then open the map file in notepad or whatever, and add some lines like this:

#start 74
#start 95

etc, one line for each player. Sorted.

Incidentally the in-game map editor is pretty horrible. Definitely editing the text files is the way to go. There is a guide in dominions3/doc.

Llamabeast, how do I create a game?

Do I create it and then I send you the files to host it? It could be nice if you updated the FAQ.

[llamabeast]

You just literally tell me you'd like to create it. The only thing I would prefer you to do yourself is to make your own map if you want to use a random one.

So, the procedure is: Tell me you want to start a game, the age/era, and a name. Then I'll set it up to accept pretenders. Then let me know again when all the pretenders are in, along with all the details of game settings, maps, mods etc, and I will start the game.

Updating the FAQ isn't a bad idea, I'll do that sometime.

llama still has enough time to kick my *** with the Tomb Kings though.

The prognosis is not looking good for the poor ogres. Combination of bad luck and the sheer nastiness of some TK units/spells.

Really? I thought things were not looking good for the poor Tomb Kings. You've squashed me into a little corner.
