How does one install the CBM mod anyway?

[gman8181]

Download it.  Place it in the "mods" folder located within the "dominions3" folder.

That's it? wow....


Also, seems that 1.94 does not come separate from those other mods. So I guess we're all using the "complete" mod

There was a link to it at the beginning of Round 11 courtesy of our host Akhier.  A lot of these things are pretty hard to find if you don't know exactly what you're looking for or where to look.

Thats what I downloaded. So I guess "Complete" is the basic version

   Just to note I put the link in the OP of this thread as well once I confirmed it is what we would be using.

Okay, sweet!

I'm kind of attracted to World of Symmetry, for a longer game map, though not having the two water nations will give the coastal players an edge. Plane of Rusty Nails is probably the best bet for something that passes as a typical game around here.

(The rest of y'all need to express more of an opinion!)

[MentalFather]

World of symmetry looks nice, but I would take Rhinos or Rusty nails (Rhinos prefered).



Edit: Karlito posted some maps, maybe someone didn't see them, so i'm quoting him:

POTENTIAL MAP CANDIDATES
Here's a complete list of all Elmokki's maps. There's probably a few candidates for our size and wraparound needs.
GandalfParker has quite the catalog of randomly generated "tiny" (normal sized for us) and "small" (big even if we had 11 players) wrap-around maps. They aren't really good for their looks, though.

Spoiler: Possible Candidates (click to show/hide)

From Elmokki's map list
Acres of Aardvarks (125 + 10, wraparound)


Estates of Econometrics (124 + 9, wraparound)


Estates of Economics (133 + 9, wraparound)


Galadia (177 + 40, wraparound)


Plane of Rusty Nails (143 + 12, wraparound)
I've noticed a few versions with fixed starts for 9 land nations. There's also a version with fixed starts for 10 land nations.


Realm of Roaring Rhinos (169 + 16, wraparound)
There's versions with starts for 11 land nations that we could certainly use.


Riverlands (213 + 17, wraparound)


From the Map/Mod Browser
The Desert Eye (108 + 17, wraparound)


Random Wraparound: Tiny_001 (110 + 15, wraparound)
There's two other ones similar to this, though I thought this was the most aesthetic.


Small Tower (180+20, wraps top to bottom)


Urraparrand (145 + 35, wraparound)


World of Symmetry (232 + 33)
It's not wrap-around, but it does have balanced starts for 10 land nations (and two water nations, but it could probably work without them). Also, a bit larger than what I'm used to.

Also I have just seen "Tower" maps. They seem funny. Has anyone played one of them?

[puntocom]

Hi,

I will play with Abysia.

[Duuvian]

I like big maps myself, as it allows more room for the attacked to respond before they are knocked out to the point of being feeble or hopeless.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Thanks for checking in Puntocom. With that we now have all nations decided and are only waiting on maps. From now on if you post suggestions please post DL link because some of these maps have a lot of versions, for instance there are a good number of the rusty nails one with 9 set start positions in the map viewer(and most don't have a link anyway) and thus not what we want. Anyway I will post whats been decided so again:

MAP: ?
ERA: Late Age
MOD: Conceptual Balance Mod 1.94
Time Allowance: 48 hours
GRAPHS: Off
HALL OF FAME: 15
RENAME: On

PLAYERS:
Akhier the Dragon hearted - Tien Chi
moghopper - Marignon
ThtblovesDF - Pangaea
puntocom - Abysia
gman8181 - Ulm
MentalFather - Atlantis
Karlito - Mictlan
Endymion - Arcoscephale
Waterplouf - C'tis
Duuvian - Bogarus

If you see anything you don't like speak up now because once we decide a map the game will start shortly after.

We shouldn't actually need a download link separate from the one here to use the various fixed-start editions on the Map Browser. I'd suggest taking five or six of the better maps and starting a forum poll. Maybe give us a couple picks each.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Well that makes it easier. I did not know of that page so yeah. Good to know, anyway I don't think a poll is need. From the maps on that page I must say rhinos and nails both look decent and a few people have already stated preferences for one or the other. Actually let me check...
   Okay MentalFather was okay with both and preferred rhinos while you pointed out nails so its about one to one. I think I will do a couple test games vs AI on both of those maps before I say anything on either though I don't really have a preference anyway so until I check them both out anyone can post which they would prefer. If you don't say anything I will assume your fine with either.

[gman8181]

I admittedly haven't really looked at the proposed maps but I think I'd prefer whichever is larger (assuming one of them is larger).  Things felt a little crowded in round 11.
