I change my vote. I'm going with Ulm.

And Stephmo, I wouldn't mind at all.

Yup, can't wait to start.

Just sent a PM and a link to someone on the shrapnel forums who was asking some questions about MP games, and suggested he'd be interested in a friendly MP game. Hopefully he'll show up here.

@Stephmo: A couple day delay a month wouldn't bother me either, but I'd guess Maer's suggestion of no delays would be because he'd have to closely monitor a game he wasn't even playing. I'd think someone would need to talk to him and volunteer to take over admin duties once the game is running in order for us to be able to grant delays. Granted, I'm only guessing here, and might be totally off base, but I wouldn't want to be held responsible for the turn timer of a game I wasn't playing either. :D

Although, i wouldn't be against some kind of rule that requests for delays need to be put in 24 hours in advance or something similar to keep it from getting out of hand.

I am the PMed noob from the Shrapnel forums and I am interested in joining up; Six, thanks for the invite. I'll take T'ien Ch'i.

By the way, I went to download the specified mod (CBM Complete 1.84) but am a little confused....

The link in the first post leads here which contains a link for "CBM 1.84" which leads to here which contains a zip file containing corrected versions of a couple dozen mods. Now, this zip file of corrected mods includes CB1.84.dm, CB1.84_weaker_egd.dm, CB1.84_wote.dm, CBcomplete_1.41.dm and CBcomplete_1.6.dm.

Which of these Conceptual Balance mods will we be using for this game?

Maerlande he didn't mind about Stephmo needing an extension once a month, it was just up to the players. Personally I'd much rather see him get the extension then to put him through finding a sub for 1-2 turns each time.

@Shatner: The CB1.84.dm is the plain version of CBM 1.84. The other files were fixes for specific games that were running their own combined mods or games running older versions of CBM. These and other mods all got broken at once with the last Dominions patch, thus Llamabeast kinda rushed the release of the fixed versions like that.

I'll see if I can set things up today. However, no promises. I have major doctor's appointments including some sedation so I'll be pretty useless this evening.

Shatner,

Yes, you want CB1.84.dm. Ignore the others as was stated.

Are you the same Shatner on Shrapnel asking for advice "Pendatic Guide"?

Come to IRC for real time help. It's the most effective. General purpose guides are very hard to write. The best is to review some of the specific guides like Raiel's army placement.

Another option and a very viable one, is to read the Let's Plays from Something Awful where you follow a group of veteran players in detail.

Let's Play Dominions

There is an older one as well. I'll look up the link.

Thanks for making that explicit. I'm looking forward to the game.

Yes, I am the same guy asking for advice. I wasn't aware of the Something Awful thread, I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the info Maerlande.

Yea, reading the lets plays is probably the best way to pick up the details of the game. The strat guides on Shrapnel are great, but they all paint a very broad picture and make each nation look like its an unstoppable juggernaut.

Aaminoff as founds some errors on the map, i quote him:

"Corrections to connections that I found:
add 8-11
add 1-103
remove 79-95
add 35-51
add 51-52"

Which seems to remain on the latest version of the map.
