In Progress Decline 20: Dominions 5: Defenders of the Faith

[Dayyālu]

OOOOK

THIRTEEN GODDAMN PLAYERS

I hereby close the sign-ups and goshdammit I have to generate a 13 players map

If we're going for a random map in the end this might be worth a try:

https://corbeau.itch.io/cartographic-revision

It's terrible. It requires fixed starting positions or fixed nations, and it crashes if you get UW nations and you select "generic" starting positions, and you can select water provinces density or other things.

Very pretty though. Kinda unplayable.

I need to shut up and let other people do the work. We're using a map created with this.

THE COUNCIL OF THIRTEEN HAS SPOKEN

We'll wait for Agesilaus and then I'll start map creation. Horizontal wraparound, 13-15 provinces per player. I had a great map ready but well, let's wait if we get player number 14.

 

[Agesilaus]

I want in. How do I sign up.


EDIT: Ok, I read the FAQ on page 2. Apparently I need to generate a god and then email it to the site and they will add me to the list? I am not at home so I can't do it until tonight, sorry.

MAP IS HERE DOWNLOAD IT AND RESUBMIT YOUR PRETENDERS

We're gonna use a map I found on llamaserver, SteamedBabies. Looks cool and it supports 14 players. Download all the files (the .map and both the image files).

You place the map file (all of them) in the map file folder. It's in the Users\AppData\Dominions section or whatever, NOT in the install folder. That's for windows of course, I don't know shit about Linux or Mac.

UPLOAD YER PRETENDERS

I give you 2-3 days before forcestarting. Ok, comrades?

EDIT: it seems you don't even need to resubmit Pretenders. golden.

Chef Hathaway vs. Agesilaus

Who gets Arcoscephale?!

 

[sqeecoo]

2-3 days? I hope you mean months. Ok, we are playing without Muty, but still.

They solve it like the Arcoscephales do, by wrestling naked in olive oil.

I forgot a bit of rules though - whoever cums first, does he win or lose?

[JagreenLern]

Does this map have room for another water nation?

[Dayyālu]

Does this map have room for another water nation?

Yes. I have chosen this one because I know you are all up to damage by will to live thus i choose one that could get extra water nations.

Alright, I'm R'lyeh

If you guys have to do a bigger(random) map, which seem to generate much better, I can join as Mictlan.

With a few early stales of course......

If that new multi-turn move feature works through stales, you're bound to win this thing. :D

I am really loving that feature....

It seems a tad buggy for me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't; if there's any sort of obstruction, the game sometimes doesn't draw a path for the unit.

I can't trigger my inner jew, I switch over to Shinuyama.

In as Tian Qi, the Imperial Bureaucracy. The Legalist state is ready to annex the region of "Steamed Babies".

You made me Google that. I didn't want to google that.

Well, time to purge and scourge. Dammit, endless chances to use Warhams\DD comics in diplomacy! I struck Gold!

EDIT:

For the newbies amongst us, I'd like to add a disclaimer: "Dominions Diplomacy". In Dominions MP games diplomacy is usually considered non-binding: people will outright lie at you. Some (like me) like to keep their word, but they are a minority.

The only thing that's considered binding is commerce. If you promise gems for items or exchanges, that's binding.

so salty you didn't invite me. I would play Pangea

Spoiler

If you like you may consider that I am lying to everyone.

 

[Matalarata]

Just to let you know Dayyālu while testing the map I had many crashes on world creation due to players sharing the same position. Otherwise it seems perfectly fine, some starting provinces have the mandatory 3 connection with an unfrozen river blocking one, while others share 5 connections with mountains, forests, farmland and the occasional swamp or waste for some sitesearch.

I foresee extreme initial butthurt...

and I love it!

...Am I a bad person?

 

[mondblut]

So, why there is a nation of Man, but no nation of Woman?

 

[Agesilaus]

so salty you didn't invite me. I would play Pangea

That was my third choice, a massive army of blessed maenads (they are sacred, right?)

 

[Matalarata]

nation of Woman

Augh, ignorant. Who do you think leads all those stronk and indypindy grey nations all around you?
