Oh, crap I forgot to set up notifications on this thread when I posted that I'd participate. I'll work on my pretender today and get it in soon.

I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

I think it's interesting and makes the map different from most of the other maps I've played, but I just wouldn't suggest it for Agartha. The lack of rivers and mountains to block or restrict movement by heat also means someone who needs or wants to turtle* will find it hard to build choke-point defenses, too, except on the caves. I've never made a Dom4 map so I won't assume that adding rivers and mountains is easy.

* Because they are weak early and get strong later in the game with research or whatnot, if they survive.

Alright, I've submitted my pretender. Sorry about the delay!

I noticed on http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=Bay12GamesRound409 that this started. Did Llamaserver forget to send the emails? I haven't received anything and everyone's status is showing as "Waiting for 2h file."

Thanks for that, I didn't get my first turn the first time either. I have it now, though!

The thrones seem to really love the little skull lakes. I find that a little annoying, not having any easy way to get down there.

Anyway, as I mentioned in the 4.06 thread, I'm going to be out Friday-Sunday, so come Thursday night (possibly Friday morning) I'm going to pause the game until Monday/whenever I get home.

Sorry about having to do so early on.

Edit: It's just been pointed out to me that I missed a couple of connections: 105 <-> 96 and 104 <-> 94 SHOULD be there, as can be seen by the map. That's my bad. Sorry for any confusion for whoever started there. I can't fix it for this game, but I'll update the map so any future play doesn't run into it.

Edit^2 (no need to spam my own topic):
Also, a list of the pretenders vying for the crown (for anyone playing at home, or who (like me until just recently) didn't know where the information was located):
Spoiler: Ermor (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Machaka (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Tir na n'Og (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Yomi (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Berytos (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: R'lyeh (click to show/hide)

Blame that on llamaserver - it's last update time is 23:11 GMT on Wednesday August 20th. Yomi turned in his turn and was going to try to be the first player on the next one, but nothing's coming back currently.

I'll update the first post with a player list when I get a chance.

Yeah, I just realized that with the confusion of people leaving after the last nation/player list I don't actually know who's playing in this game.

I'm in as R'lyeh. I think this is accurate for the other nations, but I don't know who's Yomi.
Machaka - Alstar
Ermor - Shadowlord
Berytos - tompliss
Tir na n'Og - DarkerDark
R'lyeh - Bluerobin
Yomi -

Nah, Yomi is my friend from another board, Ars Technica - Hellheart. I don't know if he's gotten around to making an account here.

I know him from playing many years of Bloodbowl at Ars, so he should be pretty reliable. If you want to engage in diplomacy with him, your best bet is probably going through Steam - he's [Ars]Hellheart. (And if he didn't want me giving that information away, he should've made an account here and posted something.)
