i tried connecting via mirc

mIRC is software used to connect to an IRC room, gamesurge and dynamix are servers which you select once you are running the program.

EDIT: in any case the dynamix channel has been taken down and we are back to gamesurge.

OK. It´s sunday. If someone is playing i´m in. Just tell me when and how to connect because I quite didn´t understand.

It'll be at something like 1800 GMT, which is like 1400 (2 PM) EST, or 11:00 am PST / California.

To line up for the game, you'll need an IRC client ( MIRC, Pirch, irc2, Virc, etc ), and it appears that we'll be gathering on the gamesurge irc network as usual, since it seems to be having no problems today.

Games are run using Zen's Conceptual Balance mods :

Spells 1.8
Scales 1.2
Pretenders 2.2
Items 1.0

(Those mods should be saved in your "Dominions2/mods" directory, whereever that is, and enabled via the Mods menu before creating your pretender.)

Then once the game is ready to start, you simply click the "Network / "Connect to a Dominions Server" options and enter the IP address and port number, which will be given to you.

Generally speaking, it's best to be prepared for a 4-5 hour gaming session.

please post here the server in case I cannot contact you

You'll need to get onto the IRC channel, as the games don't start at a set time, there may be special conditions you need to be aware of, and also because its more fun if you can chat with your opponents

I´m in gamesurge and there is not a #dominons channel or whatever

There has been for over an hour, as I've been on channel and simply AFK, and Arralen was here before me. Note though that it's #dominions and not #dominons (though I presume that was a typo here, not on IRC).

[Truper]

Hmm. There is - I know because I'm there now.

If you are using mIRC, do the following:

Click on the file menu, and select options.
Click on the edit button.
Type a description into the description field - I use Dom2
In the IRC server field, enter irc.gamesurge.net
In the port field, enter 6667
Click ok
Click the Connect to IRC server button
After you've connected, type /join #dominions

Hope this helps.
