New Kinda Noob game Starting

[attackdrone]

The base CBM mod should be listed as 'Conceptual Balance 1.6' complete, though 'Worthy Heroes 1.91 + CBM 1.6' should also work well. The "Indy Commanders Only" variant removes recruitable independent troops from all provinces, leaving only the commanders. This forces nations to rely on national troops (and is mainly intended as an AI balancing mod if i recall correctly).

Whichever CBM 1.6 variant you use, as long as the initial pretender design is unchanged, and each player has CBM 1.6 installed and active when they design their pretenders, everything should be fine.

OK, someone that is familiar with starting a game needs to get this one started....I have got everything but the Damn map, which says it is not valid when I D/l it. (yes, it is the one that was just changed).

I will still admin or someone else can but lets get this thing started....any takers....

[attackdrone]

The game is up, I will PM the password to the admins. Submit your pretenders!

Edit: I only uploaded a modified .map file, you'll still need the .tga file from the original Land of Legends, the exact same graphics are used. Attention everyone: Make sure you have downloaded and installed at the very least:

Conceptual Balance Mod 1.6 (for pretender design)
Land of Legends Map

Everything else (modified .map file and edm1.1) can be handled server-side, though feel free to download those as well if you like.

A GREAT BIG thanks to attackdeone!!!!!!!!!!

We are up and running....

I suggest 24 hours to do your pretenders and test them on th e map and first turn will be sent out Thursday morning!!

maybe if we are all checking our comps, we can get in 5 or 7 turns this weekend!!

I did not, however, I also see no game under llamaserver as awaiting pretenders by that name, are we sure that is the name?

correction, i see it now, ill try re-sending the file.

recorrection - apparently I did get an email saying it was received.

[GrudgeBringer]

Good luck everyone, this is a preety neat concept and I will be watching it to see how it works.

[Ragnars Wolves]

Well gentlemen we have a problem....

Someone has hijacked the game....I wanted to be the last person to send in my pretender so the game would start late tonight (weds) and we would all have a turn in the morning.

HOWEVER, when I went to send it in it would not accept it and on further investigation not only has someone sent it (my pretender for Abysia) but a turn as well.

I have turned off the quickhost and I need whoever is Abysia in this game to either state it or PM me.

I guess we have to start over (sorry attackdrone for all the work you put in to this and may have to come to the rescue agian.

I have heard of this happening with REALLY NEW players who don't realize you have to sign up...but in my own game

[attackdrone]

Yeah, we'll need to start this over. Watch out for hijackers! Send me a PM when you're ready for me to start it again, I'll use the same admin password that I PM'd to you earlier.

FYI, you shouldn't need to re-create the game from scratch, as if the game is still on turn 1, there should* be an option to roll the game back to the 'waiting for Pretenders' stage, after which the admin can remove the rogue Pretender, allowing the correct player to upload theirs.


* I say should, since I can't 100% remember, and testing it requires being admin of a game on turn 1. Which none of my games are right now.

[attackdrone]

Thanks for the tip, I've gone ahead and taken the liberty as I was he who volunteered to set the game up, and cleared out Abysia and restarted the game.

Only Ragnars Wolves will need to resubmit his pretender, everyone else is fine.
