Wine. 
Silly peasants.

Close, but too specific.  Peasants need to drink too, you know.

Booze, then?

[Bluerobin]

It's gotta be grapes. Maybe juice.


Ok, that wasn't serious at all, but now I kind of wish I'd come up with some sort of beverage theme. Juice pretender, pop/soda names for important SCs/mages. I could have had Jones flavors, Dr. Pepper/Mr. Pibb,  Mountain Dew would be great for something with Earth/Water paths... even the Fantanas. Anything particularly hardcore could get into alcohols and/or cocktail names.

[Karlito]

You know Bluerobin, it's not to late to resubmit a different pretender.

[Bluerobin]

Oh I haven't submitted my first one yet, but beverages aren't really thematically relevant for Midgard.

[TempAcc]

Dude, they're vikings.

[Korbac]

Submitted. Either I'm going to do really poorly, or going to do really well and get dogpiled, so I don't expect to last too long.

[Bluerobin]

I submitted my pretender then I played around with some alternatives I never even though of using in the past.

I've always just ignored the dragons, but they're pretty cool. In the test game I played I won the arena tournament with my frost dragon pretender then messed up some scripting so he ended up in his human form in a battle against a bunch of heavy infantry. Between the awe, the 30+ defense (about 10-12 base, a boost from W9, another boost from 4 experience levels, and the bonus from the arena item, plus probably a couple more from dominion) and the chill from level 1 Enchantment he won handily. Normally, when he was in his dragon form, he won even faster of course. I guess I've just never really used a supercombatant pretender. The main problem with the dragons (and supercombatants in general I guess) is that I don't really know what do with them after the initial expansion. I guess they make decent combat mages, although pretty highly specialized, and they can always research if there's nothing else to do. *shrug*

The game is here:
http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=Bay12GamesRound9
The game name is "Bay12GamesRound9"

This seems to be common knowledge, but how do I send my pretender in?

From the OP:

Spoiler: How does MP work? (click to show/hide)

First of all, you need to download the map and the mod(links will be provided after we decide on which one to use), and put the files into the map and mod folders of your dom3 installation respectively.
Then go to the options menu and enable the mod.
Next use the pretender creation tool in the game tools menu to create a pretender and send the file(to be found in your /dominions3/savedgames/newlords; named <your_nation_era_number.2h>, where number is most likely "0" if it's the only pretender you've created so far for this nation.) to "pretenders [at ] llamaserver [dot ] net" with the game name as the subject.
Game name is "Bay12GamesRound9".

You'll be recieiving .trn files from llama server, which you shoud put into a {dom3dir}/savedgames/{whatevernameyouwant}/
After finishing your moves, a new .2h file will appear in that folder, which you should send to the same address from which you've recieved your .trn file.

Care to go into detail for the friendshop mod? I only found partial information after the obligatory 1 min google-fu.

[Il Palazzo]

The thing is, nobody really knows anything specific about the mod, apart from the fact that it's made out of combining Awesome Endgame, Awesome Gods, and CBM. Probably.
Mostly, we just learn as we go.

The Awesome Gods part seems to me the most distinctive about this one, with some crazy-ass chassis to pick, like the Titan with 7 air basic magic skill; or Divine Emperor with 3 starting skill in all magic paths, but for the purposes of bless only; or Destroyer of Worlds that autocasts Earthquake when he enters battle.

I feel dumb now (I've read through the whole second half of the thread, but it didn't occur to me to read the OP)
I'll send my pretender in as soon as I get home (in 5~6 hours)

Don't feel dumb. The OP has been edited to contain all that information only recently, so it's perfectly normal that you would skim over whatever had acted as a placeholder.
