LA Ermor is unique, but I assume you would take a Cold 3 sloth 3 death 3 type scale and no one wants to be around that. Plus if you want to cast stuff like Burden of Time and the Darkness Spell, that doesn't really work for 80%+ of nations, so I think you'd find yourself in a 1 on 4 type situation as all your neighbors band together to stop the undead horde.

Reading the llamaserver stuff, it appears that to play we need to send in our pretender to llamaserver at a particular game name, correct?

And we will create a name once more slots are filled?

Great! Halve the slots are filled and there are already a couple of quite charismatic nations around. Can't wait to see who will survive the struggle :-)

Hmmm, I've got some problems with the mods again. When I activate the mods and try to create a new game, I get a message: "Nagot gick fel! Bad #selectarmor command" and the game crashes. Can anybody help me with that?

Thanks and greetings,
Gordon

@coobe:

In my oppinion you are welcome, though you might be one of the more "experienced" players in this game's context. Maybe some of us total newbs will have to team up against your superior skill ;-)

By the way, the map appears to be really nice in my eyes!

Greetings,
Gordon

Welcome Numahr! Then it's just one missing for the minimum number of players! I really can't wait to get that game started :-)

I think I even developed something almost similar to a strategy for my expansion. It worked finde in three out of four SP games that I played untill the third year. The forth game endet with myself attacked by Pangea, Caelum, Ulm and C'tis nearly at the same time which left me quite chanceless... but at least I know now which starting positions fit my strategy and which will force me to improvise a little ;-) Man, now I'm really curious for the first turn!

Ok everyone. I'm now back from my works trip, and I managed to survive the heavy sporting/drinking weekend. So now time to see about getting this game going before the end of the week.

@ Gordon Overkill - Are all you mod problems sorted now or not?

@ coobe - Always good to see old faces return to the Dominion fold :) But that does bring with it a potential problem :(

As while I don't have any problems with you playing with regards your experience/ability level, I might have a problem with your reliability, and your high tendency to go AWOL in games. As I remember two games I was playing in with you where you simply disappeared before or around turn 20, and was regularly staling before then. And another two games where you signed-up (like now) and then disappeared again before the game had even started. And these were just games I was involved in.

So...... I guess it's a case of you tell me. If I accept your sign-up for this game, are you going to stick around to actually play in it? Or will I need to have a constant sub on standby for when you inevitably go AWOL again? I don't mind having to find permanent subs for when the ill-winds force a player to leave a game. But allowing a player to sign-up who has a long history of disappearing, and therefore I know in advance they'll need a sub sooner rather than later, is a different matter.

I am prepared to give you a clean slate though, and the benefit of the doubt. Since as you said yourself you haven't played in a long time, and much could have changed since you last played. But just as likely is that nothing has changed in that time. So I will need some assurance off you that the commitment level you will put into this game will be different to all the other Dominions games you have played in the past. As I'm sure I remember a post you wrote before, probably jokingly, saying that you'd never once finished a MP game. Which may or may not be true, but what is true is that I don't really want this game added to the long list of games you've signed-up for (which in my books brings with it a vow of commitment to that game) but then never stayed around to finish.

So if I can get some kind of commitment off you then you're in. But if you already know that you will be gone again in a month, then I'm afraid I will have to remove your sign-up. As players with a long AWOL history also tend to have a long history of staling as well, and the latter is often a bigger problem than the former.

@ All

Your game now has a name, FrolickingFledglings. I might put it up on the llamaserver later today. All depends if I think we'll meet the minimum number of players required, or if we can go with less than 8. I'm waiting until that point because I don't want to clutter the llamaserver up with dead games. (should this game not go ahead :()

I better get working on pretender design and figuring out how to use llamaserver. But from the nice link given here it doesnt look too terrible.

I just hope I start near some water....I figure I can last a while down in the deeps even if I can't win.
