So we have either an open spot (CLAIM IT NOW, YOU LURKER!) or we will start with 9 players. Oh, and we don't mind beginners, as there a couple of players in their first or second game

This would be my first multi game, but i will claim it anyway if it's not a problem.... remind me please, what's the turn interval and how much time do i have to make a pretender and choose a nation? + Show Spoiler +
(i'm probably going to shoot myself in the foot and take Mictlan, i don't really like any other LA nation except maybe pythium and atlantis that's taken)

the game version is vanilla with worthy heroes mod, uh? (which only buffs up heroes and adds others, right?)

Oh, I think I might pull out of the LA game - one game is taking enough time. Pangaea is open!

Welcome to the party :D

Pretender creation: Once all pretenders are in and everything is clear, we will start. I would appreciate it, if this can be done during the coming days aka today/tomorrow, so we can start tomorrow evening.
Turn interval: As mentioned earlier, I want 26h/turn + quickhost. This means, once the turn is done, everyone has 26h to submit their turn, but if everyone has submitted their turn, the turn will be hosted before the deadline is over. It is important to note, that while the turn is not hosted yet, you can change your turn anytime by resending a changed 2h-file. But once the last guy has submitted his turn, the turn is calculated immediatetly!
If someone is asking for a turn extension at some point, (and this does not happen every turn ^^) there is certainly no problem in extending a turn.
Mods: Yes, we only use Vanilla+Worthy heroes, nothing else. For pretender creation worthy heroes doesn't matter, actually, but in any case, just use it for it aswell.

and with lpunatic pulling out, we have another empty spot... ^^ give and take... Cmon, so another chance for the lurkers! And as you see there are enough beginners in the game, so step up now :D

(and this means, we probably won't make it to a gamestart tomorrow ^^)

Sorry, I can't commit to something like that right now. I also live in Korean time which would make it a bit annoying for diplomacy. :-/

On another note, F9 blessed archers, where have you been all my life? It's probably suboptimal as hell, but it feels nice routing indies in 2 kavi archer volleys as Caelum. Normally, I would lose half my troops or a mammoth, which amounts to the same thing. It also makes for one badass move 3 flying hitsquad with a bit of infantry on the side. I'm pretty sure from my limited knowledge that flaming weapons only applied to melee weapons in dominions 3, no?

Having one game is already so exciting that I wonder how my heart can take two games at the same time. Like half the time I'm awake I'm thinking about if I should change something about my army positioning or recruiting or if I should summon something etc.

I wish this game had a spectator mode. Apart from Let's Plays, it's so hard to learn anything about scripting commanders/mages or even general strategies. The dominions inspector has helped a lot, though.

What I'd like to see though is a comprehensive list of each nation's gimmick. The ingame descriptions can only say so much and there's no real list of which nations have non-cap bless troops, which ones *don't* have only goddamn old age mages worth hiring or even how scale- and fort-dependent each nation is. I may have missed it also but there's no breakdown of research efficiency per nation either.

This game is equal parts overwhelming and fascinating. I've been mostly playing EA Caelum for now. Lightning spam!

Oooh, nice; I'll definitely look into it. I've seen a fair share of dominions 3 material but a lot of early game tactics like overtaxing your capital are gone in dom 4, and not all the nations are covered by the new guides.

Heh. I'm just a bit scared of having to go AI randomly due to work, travel or the like. How long do these games typically last?

Probably at least a couple of months, but as the game gets further, the time per turn gets increased. Thus it won't be one turn per day forever. Also an individual turn takes very short time to do usually. I travel quite a lot but when I'm away from home, I do the turns with my laptop. I've even done and submitted while in a train. Also some players will probably drop from the game and switch to AI within the first few game years when they get crushed by their neighbors.
Anyway, if there eventually comes some serious unforeseen obstacle and you won't be able to play anymore at all or at least not for many days, it's probably possible to find someone to replace you. Are you very busy with work and travels?

I guess it should be fine; I was just worried about the "one turn a day" for the later turns, which would require an intense time investment. I'm not too busy in the short term, though. Good point about the laptop; it's the advantage of having a cross-platform game weighing peanuts in terms of hard-disk space.

I've never dabbled with LA Caelum (bleagh, their top mage has old age ), but I'll try and make do. Unless I have to replace Pangaea, in which case I'll have to do a crash course on nature nations during my first turns.

I'm looking at the instructions for the mod / map / llama server.

No need to pick Pangaea. Also, there are plenty of nations with old mages. At least LA Marignon and EA Abysia suffer from that problem, and I'm sure there are many more but those are ones that I've tried.

Can we put the seriously old mages on life support and still let them sit in the capital and do research? I'm imagining something like Stephen Hawking (F1* A2** S6) sitting in a lab cranking out research points.

Oh, is Pangaea open now?

I already sent in my pretender for Gath, can I still switch to Pangaea??

Edit: Actually never mind I'll stick with Gath

Okay, I can send a pretender now if it's okay. LA Caelum, and I'm abusing the 0-cost titan chassis.

LA Caelum is at the very least playable now, what with researchers with resource bonus (so desperately needed for them), and the new Daeva summons giving them some powerful mages, if overcosted.
