Default 4 player MA PBEM game - started

Hi all,

I've been testing my automated PBEM program for a bit now, and it all seems to be working well, so I thought I'd start up a new game on it. I've noticed there's not been very many games started recently for newish players, so this could fill that slot (I won't be playing in it).

Because I've always enjoyed Gandalf's "blitz" games (they're not generally played as blitzes, but that's what they're called), I thought I'd copy his settings for this one - hence it's called "GreyWizard" in tribute .

To join the game, just e-mail a pretender file to pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net, and make sure the subject of the e-mail is "GreyWizard". Also post here to say you've joined.

You can look at who's joined so far at www.llamaserver.net.

Settings:
4 players, 50 provinces
Using the worthy heroes mod (just gives a few more interesting heroes to each nation). You can get it here.

Okay, please go ahead and join!

Edit: Thought I might add a little guide as to how to create and find your pretender file, being as it isn't obvious if you haven't played a PBEM before. You can't make your pretender through the normal "Create a new game" route. Instead from the main menu, you need to click "Game tools" and then "Create a pretender god". When you've finished a file will be created in the folder dominions3/savedgame/newlords. If, say, you were creating a god for Marignon, it would be called mid_marignon_0.2h. This is the file you need to send.

There's no need to put a password on your pretender, since you'll be the only one with access to your turn files. If you do put a password on though, please PM it to me so I can find a sub if, say, you disappear (happens occasionally).

Hi guys,

Sorry, you have to make sure that your e-mails to the server have the game name ("GreyWizard") as the subject line, and nothing else. The server received a couple of e-mails, but it doesn't know what to do with them unless the subject line's right, and it hasn't kept them so I can't sort them out myself. Hopefully the e-mails it sent back would have explained - anyway, sorry about that. Just send them again with 'GreyWizard' as the subject.

Okay, we're just waiting for one more player now.

Also, I've now attached the map to the first post. Download the zip, and put both of the files in it into your dominions3/maps folder.

Oh, the map file crashes the game because it points to GreyWizard4.rgb when it is actually named GreyWizard.rgb. Easy to fix yourself of course.

Darn, I there are only border mountains on this map meaning no wonderful peg-castles for Ulm.
