Another Newbie Slugfest - Restarted

[CuriousCat]

Just curious, was there a consensus about rules for the game? I assume we'll use the most recent pretender mod, but what about other mods, etc. There was a bit of discussion a while back, but I didn't get a sense of agreement on all of the other details.

My vote is for Zens pretender, scales, and spell balance mods, whatever the latest versions are at the start of the game.

Anybody know when Deccan is expected back? And, he might be distracted by other games. I will try to email him.

Just got Pasha's e-mail. Sorry, I didn't know that you were waiting on me. Please don't bother waiting as I won't be able to play any Dom2 for at least another couple of weeks.

One observation though: I thought you guys wanted to avoid another epic game. It looks to me like 11 players is already epic-sized...

Personally, when I get back into Dom2, I'd prefer something smaller, like 7-8 players max.

Eeeeek!! Boron as Pan!! Eeeeek!!

Ok, here we are so far:

1. Jotunheim = Dragonfire11
2. Ulm = Beorne
3. Mictlan = Aku
4. Pan = Boron
5. Machaka = Pashadawg
6. Marignon = Steerpike
7. Man = Warhawk
8. Vanhiem = Curious Cat
9. C'Tis = Oversway
10. T'ien Chi = Dah Panthah

The only mod that I am familiar with is Zen's Pretender Mod, which is fine with me.

Did we decide on a map, etc?

[Oversway]

I doubt anyone disagrees with using Zen's pretender mod?

I'm lobbying for his other mods (scale and spells) as well. C'mon everyone, it'll be fun

I figured the settings would be the same as the last game? Havn't thought about the map yet...

Yeah i get headaches in my current pythium game . There Pan is now at war with me and might win the war . At least even if i win i will be quite crippled and my further success chances will be rather bad .
So i begin to like pangenea with my recent experiences .

In a now over game where i was also Pythium i had to fight pangenea too and it was a pretty difficult fight also . Atm i don't like pythium anymore and begin to wonder why i always liked them so much . Yeah the voices in my head seem to always keep changing [image]http://www.si-games.com/forumshttp://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/konfus.gif[/image] [image]http://www.si-games.com/forumshttp://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/lachen.gif[/image]

Hm using smilies from other Boards doesn't seem to work anymore [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Envy.gif[/img]

Well... I have no objection to the other mods. I am unfamiliar with them, but that matters little. Heck... I am not exactly a freaking expert on the real rules, anyway.
