The Gaming Den

Okay, the mod and description of the mod are here. It's based on Frank's suggestions to help balance the Middle Era, and it needs field testing; hence, game.

I need players for the revised versions of:
√ Agartha - angelfromanotherpin
√ Eriu - Winnah
√ Machaka - DrPraetor
√ Oceania - ???
√ Ulm - Korwin
√ Abysia (vanilla) - luckyfortune

Other nations are welcome as controls, but I want all the revised ones represented.

edit: Except revised Arco, I'm satisfied they're fine.

Hmm, I'll try Ulm.

I question the methodology here - all this test will determine is playability as such, as well as internal balance. You need a non-modified faction to use as a testing benchmark.

Herp. My bad. Should really learn to read...

If noobishness doesn't preclude my participation, I'd be willing to either play Machaka or Oceania or to play a control nation, probably Vanheim or Ashdod.

Some experience is preferred, but noobs are welcome. If you're not fixed on a nation yet, I'll see what other people want first.

Those are my preferences. Honestly, you might get better data out of having me play a strong MA nation like Ashdod as a control to see if a relatively inexperienced player can win against better players with the rebalanced factions. I'd think that if they got sufficient boosts I'd get my ass handed to me despite having a "strong" nation to play with.

It's your playtest, though. Do whatever you think will get you the best information.

Im in on blood nations..
... wait, also mictlan depending on whats been done with them..

I'll take the modded Machaka.

I might try Eriu. I have a low bullshit tolerance for Dom 3 these days though.

Any diplomacy by me will be public. If you have fucked me over previously, I won't fucking deal with you. Finally, if you're taking it upon yourself to moderate the game, I expect you to read the game fucking thread and take actions in a timely manner.

If that is too demanding, go fuck yourself.

Huh, I'd kind of given up on ever gettingthis going. Neat.

None of the modded nations have Blood except Ulm, which is taken. If you'd like to play a vanilla Blood nation as a control, that's fine, but you should pick one.

Wow, totally forgotten about this. I'm still up to it, but totally forgotten....

Ops sry didnt look at the date, didnt see how old this was..
Meh ill go back to soul calibur5 till a new multi-player game is created..

I got a error.. =(

When? Generating nations? I got em sometimes too.
But not always. I get them more often when generating a large amount of nations (150), try fewer.

The link in your linked post leads to an error message.

In any case, if everyone who has expressed interest in the past is still interested, we could start now. I'd take Agartha and give Oceania to Archmage. It'd be a shame we'd have no control nations, but I don't care that much.

Now.

hmm ok abyssa 4 me the plz

Okay, we are theoretically go. Archmage still hasn't chimed in, so I'll PM him. In the meantime, I don't have a good map for 6 land and 1 sea player, so I'll hunt around for a few to propose. If anyone else wants to suggest one, I'm open.

Right now I'm looking at Realm of Rampaging Roaches (78 land, 10 water, wraparound) or Small Divide (65 land, 13 water).

Thoughts?

Archmage has tapped out. We need a new player for revised Oceania.

Water nations neeed to be balanced against other w nations anyway, so I suggest RoRR w/out Oceania.

I guess we could do that. I have to step out right now, but I'll put the game together in a few hours.
