MP: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Completed- Victor: Atlantis

It is good to see another noob friendly game that encourages exploration by players. I also always liked Ballbarians AOM Ogre, though it may be too big for a small number of players. And I like the direct connect option, would work great for me since I'm in a team game via direct connect as well. If you will have me, I'd like join and to experiment with Agartha or Atlantis. I'm an intermediate level player, though somewhat noobish. If I am too experienced for the game though, I will back out.

[Pablomatic]

If someone feels inclined, please explain to me what "direct connection" is. Perhaps I can take advantage of that too.

Also, for my part I vote to let Sempronius, and other intermediate players join.

I do think that there need to be at least two underwater nations, if there are any at all, to avoid giving a single water nation a huge advantage.

It says in the OP that all players are welcome =/

Direct connect is where instead of emailing and receiving turns by email, you open dominions 3 and click on network, then join existing dominions server, then you input the servers IP or address, put in the port, connect, and play your turn. Its generally more reliable then PBEM, but has its own problems if the server has a dynamic IP and firewalls.

On another note the host has been screwing around trying to get PBEM to work with a direct connect game and he hasn't had any luck so far, so at the moment I will have to retract the turn in turns by email option. You can still receive email notification, or receive turns by email, but you'll have to direct connect to the server to play them. If this changes and we get it working, I'll of course notify you.
For the people that have requested PBEM I'll do my best to help you get direct connect working, but I'll understand if you wish to bow out.

Hello.
Although I know I'm hampering myself now, count me in as Agartha, please.
I vote for llamaserver (PBEM)

p.s. Although I, probably, do not count as noob or intermediate, I never ever played with CBM and I haven't played Dominions at all for about a year IIRC.

[Septimius Severus]

Yes, Gandalf had been working on or thinking of a marriage of both PBEM and Direct Connect. It would have been great and probably would have been a first if successfully able to be carried out smoothly. Too bad. Maybe in the future.

Direct Connect means no files to move around or mess with, which is nice. After you design your pretender (password recommended) when you log on and select your nation, your pretender is uploaded automatically.

Aren't you going to use the Llamabeast's Endgame Diversity Mod. It looks great, in my opinion, and should really do what it is aimed for. However, it's just an opinion.

[Corvus]

Ok, 10 people have signed up, but I'll wait to hear from the 3 that requested PBEM before I start the timer. If I don't hear from them by Saturday I'll take it as they're bowing out.

I'm trying to keep mods to minimum to keep it noob friendly, but if you can get 3 players besides yourself to vote for it, I'll add endgame diversity.

[Pablomatic]

I'll give it a try on direct connect then. I suppose you'll send us the address to connect to when you have it?

[Kupiko]

I'm up for direct connect. Still i'd love email notofications please. I vote for ogre map too, looks great.

[ano]

I'm fine with direct connect. It was just a vote.
