Uploading Pretenders

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

-FIRST, find a thread on one of the forums with an open game.
-Post in the game to claim a nation according to the game's rules.

-Go to Game Tools and select "Create Pretender.'
-Choose your settings, etc.
-Once this is done, go to Game Tools and click "open user directory." This will open the folder - your data is saved in. Go to saved games, and then go to new lords.
-Send the most recent .2h file in that folder in an email from the email account you wish to use to "pretenders@llamaserver.net" using the name of the game, e.g. "steamedhordes0" in the subject line.

Taking Turns

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

-Before your first turn, create a folder in "saved games" with the game name, e.g. "SteamedHordes0"
--Remember that you can find "saved games" by going to game tools and clicking "open user directory"
-When the game starts, and every turn thereafter, you will get an email with a .trn file.
-Download the .trn file to the folder you just made.
-Take your turn, and when your turn is complete, hit "end turn"
-Email the .2h file in "SteamedHordes1" to "turns@llamaserver.net"
-You should receive a confirmation email
-If you do not receive a .trn file, go to your game on llamaserver and request a turn resend. You can also request in thread for a resend.

Troubleshooting:

I tried sending in my .2h file, but got an error message!

First, make sure you are in that game. If you are, there may be one of several things wrong, and llama's email should clarify it:

First, you sent the wrong number. If this is the case, llamaserver will tell you that it is for the wrong turn #.
Download the most recently sent .trn file, and use that to take your turn. Send the resulting .2h file.
Second, you might be sending your .2h file to the wrong email address. Turns should go to turns@llamaserver.net
Third, you might be sending a pretender file. Make sure that the .2h file you are sending is from the game folder. That is the folder you put the .trn file you received into before taking your turn.

Yes, hello, will be co-admining this game. Not quite sure which era I'd prefer, so I'll keep my vote as a tie breaker.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I'll try my luck a third time, I guess.

Map suggestion: Dawn of Bridges v3. It's basically Dawn of Dominion, but with blue/red province links over rivers and small mountains, except where there are some bridges over rivers. Link.

Era: I'd like to say no preference, but I'll probably do better in MA.
Research: Standard again please.
Can we turn story events on?
Thrones, no idea. I usually go for a handful of L3 ones, because it makes early grabs at them less likely.

[ThtblovesDF]

My preferences are towards MA as well and if possible with graphs off just cause the last 3 or so had em on.

For reference, Dawn of Bridges v3

[Mini]

Yeah I'll play this. Need to get the internet-death-during-games ratio down. Don't mind which age.

[Jilladilla]

Sign me up.
Feeling like playing EA or MA this time. Can't quite decide.

[Mithras]

I've been playing with the same group of people for a while now, so it'd be nice to see if I've actually improved. Count me in. What are the conventions on this board regarding diplomacy and the bindingness or otherwise of diplomatic agreements?

I'm a bit confused by the safe turns rule. Surely it should prevent entering opponents capital provinces at all as if your capital is sieges for any length of time in the first year it's pretty much game over for you regardless of whether they actually seal the deal by storming the castle.

[chaoticag]

Diplomatic agreements are breakable, but trade agreements are binding. About the safe turns rule, can't speak for thtblovesdf, but it does add a layer of risk to an early attack. Plus if you do manage to grab a capital within the first 12 turns that's a silly amount of income you could have before all other players would have access to something similar.

[Gigalith]

In for another!

I vote MA, and I'd be cool with Dawn of Bridges. I suggest normal settings otherwise.

[Mithras]

Ah it exists for the other players, not the player being rushed. Makes sense.

[chaoticag]

Also two quick requests. I think it would be better to name the new Round Bay12GamesRound425, I was running off insomnia and stress when I was putting the last game together, so I left the Games part of the title by accident. If I recall it was Sean that pointed out that I messed up after the fact when the name in the OP did not match the game name.

Second, think we can get a province count on the Dawn of bridges map? It would be good to have a solid idea of what it is we're splitting exactly.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Second, think we can get a province count on the Dawn of bridges map? It would be good to have a solid idea of what it is we're splitting exactly.

It's the same as Dawn of Dominion, 132+15. 10 land starts, 1 UW start, 1 cave start. Starts are locked so you're guaranteed fair-ish positioning.

[chaoticag]

Seems decent enough, so I'll go ahead and vote for it.

[ThtblovesDF]

It also seems to have some lovly winter/summer warm/cold connections.

MA seems to be the popular vote, standart research, thrones mostly as usual with high level ones set so you have to take at least 1 or realistically 2.

I'll call my nation preference after at least 4 other players called there MA nation. It would be nice if we had 1 UW player, but if its 0 or 2, we can work with it.

And I feel like I can already hate on whoever plays Agartha.

[chaoticag]

Calling Nazca.

Never really tried them before but this should be fun.
