I followed all your instructions in the PM; Ermor's pretender is sent.

I didn't get a PM, but C'tis was added to WhoIsLeft on Llamaserver earlier today.

I'll be out until Sunday evening, but my pretender will be in today.

Actually, mind copying and pasting what I do here again? It's like, e-mail llamaserver with the pretender file as an attachment and the game name in the header or something?

Yes. Importantly, send your pretender to the pretenders@ address and your turns to the turns@ address.

The fact that Dominions Saves to C:\Users\MikeUserAccount\AppData\Roaming\Dominions4 is criminal.

Pretender Submitted.

I feel like it's slightly less criminal since they added 'Open User Data Directory' to the Game Tools menu.

This has become absurd. When I wake up tomorrow morning, I'm starting the game with or without Korwin.

edit: Well, that threat fizzled because the internet was out this morning. So he has an extension until I get home from work.

Alright, back from my debate tournament and turn in.

I submitted my turn -- only Ermor isn't in.

I also like my starting position for the early game. It'll probably suck for the later game, though.

Ermor turn 01 sent.

We are a peaceful undead apocalypse, and wish to open a dialogue with any of our neighbors, when they are discovered, to hammer out NAP3s and whatnot.

This is my first multiplayer Dominions game, and I do not expect to win, or even do well, especially against such experienced players; but I do expect to have fun playing my second most favorite faction (after Lemuria).

Ikeren – MA Ashdod - Bad
Hicks – MA Ermor - Bad
angelfromanotherpin – MA Sceleria - Good?
name_here – MA Arcoscephale - Good?
K – MA Abysia - Terrifyingly good?
FrankTrollman – MA Tien Chi - Horrifyingly good?
Avoraciopoctules – MA C'tis - Frighteningly good?

Trying to remember, who is scariest?

Bro, that's like tossing an apple inscribed with "to the fairest" into a room with a bunch of divinities; all you gonna do is start a war. It's a good thing we're playing Dominions, otherwise that would have been awkward.

Well, I feel pretty confident calling you bad (no offense! But you conceded this is your first game against humans) and myself the same (I've got 2.5 or 3 online games behind me). But I was sort of being glib --- I was just trying to remember who has played lots and who has played less.

I've played a few den games, but haven't done particularly well in them.

In particular, I've never managed to properly counter sacred giants, so I'm actually pretty worried about you specifically. Especially since I don't have much in the way of crossbows or axes, and my non-communion evocation isn't great.

Well, if you're lucky, we'll be on the other side of the map.

Just in case anyone missed it, the server delay is over.

Sorry seem to have an Dom4 block at the Moment, every time I'm on my comp. I seem to forget I'm playing (in one other game, where I'm frequently stalling).

Happy gaming!

Turn sent. Other than "don't start year one wars, because both of you just lose the game" and "actually hammer out NAPs with actual dialogue and discussion," are their any other etiquette faux pas in dominions multiplayer that I need to know about?

...besides "Don't play Ermor, Lemuria, or LA R'lyeh"; that is totally happening.

Declaring what NAP-3 means when you agree to it:

Turn 1: I break my NAP
Turn 2: NAP turn 1
Turn 3: NAP turn 2
Turn 4: NAP turn 3
Turn 5: I send orders
Turn 6: Troops attack.

Or:
Turn 1: I break my NAP, NAP Turn 1
Turn 2: NAP turn 2
Turn 3: NAP turn 3, I send orders.
Turn 4: Troops attack.

Or:
Turn 1: I break my NAP
Turn 2: NAP Turn 1
Turn 3: NAP turn 2
Turn 4: NAP turn 3, I send orders.
Turn 5: Troops attack.
