[Il Palazzo]

Come forth, state your claim.
Whether an ancient spirit, knowing and jaded - or a brazen upstart, quick and unfettered.
The world is not yet formed, but the plans of gods span aeons.


As the void parts, firm land takes root. Life will soon follow.


In a time long past, a claimant took reign. Unwelcome, unchallenged. But his dominion wanes. Pretenders stir in their slumber.

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.

[Il Palazzo]

There was some interest in another round, so let's have it.

Rules are subject to discussion, but there's a strong suggestion it should be EA, with lots of thrones and a wraparound map of sorts.

If we get enough players we might use the Floating Archipelago map. 'Cause it's pretty AF.

 
Also, I'd rather nobody picked Ubar - it's kinda op, imo, and forces everyone to take specific counters in god design.

[ThtblovesDF]

I'm in, EA Marverni I guess. Might change so if someone has a preference, let me know.

Will be my first dom5 Multiplayer game. Since 2018,I forgot, okay Azthor?

[Il Palazzo]

Ah, yes. I should state I'd like to play Kailasa. But am open to reneging on them if somebody else wants to return to monke.

[a1s]

I'll play. Specific nation choice to follow in another post.

[WealthyRadish]

I'm also quite inexperienced, but I'd like to try EA Yomi.

[Karlito]

Thanks for starting this thread. Putting myself in for a spot- nation TBD. Maybe Mictlan for the nostalgia.

[ThtblovesDF]

Shall we play with Dominions Enhanced v1.81, A Mod Compilation ?

[Karlito]

You know, I don't mind some of those sub mods- mercs, heroes, and better arena are pretty low impact and might even provide some extra fun. But, the rest of the package has pretty substantive balance and content changes and I'm too old and stuck in my way to adapt.

And I guess barring any groundshaking game state changes, I will be going with my feathered blood boys.

[Il Palazzo]

Yeah, same thoughts on the mods from me.

Also, I'm thinking, let's not rush this game. I'd give it a good week more on recruitment before start considering moving on. A few more people mentioned wanting to play, and they haven't shown up yet.

[Duuvian]

I'm in, playing as Rus.

[Azthor]

I am in too, tentatively with Fomoria. Though I could do Arco instead, if anyone wants Fomoria.

[ThtblovesDF]

I would like to change to Niefelheim .

[Shootandrun]

I'll join. This will be my first competitive multiplayer game, though I'm fairly familiar with broad game concepts. I am thinking of playing Agartha.

[MCreeper]

I already deeply regret this for many reasons, but i'm taking Pangaea. Eh, if we would play in late era, I would have picked neutral temperature Ragha. No idea why I have never played it. But we are playing in early era, so my build is not neglected intended way, but plain contrarianism.
And here's what I would actually want to play... but nobody else wants to. NOBODY. And for a reason!
EDIT: Bleh. I somehow still have no clue what you are supposed to do with Nature magic in combat.

Will be my first dom5 Multiplayer game.

Oh, we are going the way of "play with me, i am newbie too" now?
