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

• First of all, you need to download any non-standard map and/or mods we're using (links will be provided if we decide to use one), and put the files into the map and mod folders of your dom5 installation respectively (you can open the game folders from the in-game options menu).
• Then go to the options menu and enable the mod. (if applicable)
• Next use the pretender creation tool in the game tools menu to create a pretender and send the file(to be found in your /dominions5/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 will most likely be "Bay12GamesRound5XX [where XX is the Bay12 round count]".

You'll be receiving .trn files from llama server, which you should put into a {dom5dir}/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 received your .trn file.

You can always view the game status (including such information as turn submission deadline, and stalling data) at
http://www.llamaserver.net/index.cgi
by searching for the game name on the list.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Haven't done this one of these in a while. Count me in but I need to get home before I can choose my nation.

Edit: I have chosen the nation T'ien Ch'i

[Sirus]

Never played Dom 5 before, but what the hell? Count me in. I'll figure out a nation to play tomorrow, after fiddling around with what 5 has to offer, but I'm slightly leaning towards Ulm.

[Karlito]

Hard to believe we've only managed 3 rounds of this previously. Sadly, I have no time for a game right now. Best of luck to all of you.

[Jilladilla]

Both my and Bay12's Dominions hiatus has went on long enough. Count me in.

[a1s]

In.

[Il Palazzo]

Ah, fuck it. I'm in.
I can use some regular commitment in my life right about now.

But man, I just don't quite get Dom5. I like to think I had Dom4 figured out, but with the simultaneous battles I just don't follow what's going on to the extent that would allow careful planning. Gone are the days of knowing how most of a battle will unfold before it even started.
Maybe I'm just an old horse that won't learn new tricks, but I wonder if the drop in frequency of Dominions games on Bay12 is not due to the same general feeling.

[MCreeper]

In, probably as Sceleria.

[Il Palazzo]

I call dibs on Marignon.

[Coffeespoons]

Er, slightly interested.

It might be, but it also might be specific repeat offenders burning out. I instigated a fair number of previous games, but I've been struggling since May to muster the enthusiasm to finish a NationGen update, and while that represents a significant time commitment, it pales before an actual game of Dominions.

I agree, this feels more like the people who make the games here took a break. I know I have run a few and recently I just haven't had the time.

Also I have decided to slip into my default choice of T'ien Ch'i for this game.

[Il Palazzo]

It is, however, curious how the general burnout happened just about concurrently with the release of Dom5.

It's somewhat self-fulfilling. Seeing that there weren't games running here, rather than try to start one, I just played elsewhere for a while.

[Il Palazzo]

Hey, I hadn't noticed before that at least some of the hand-drawn maps feature a province-by-province seasonal variation now. At least the stock Peliwyr does. So pretty.
