Bay 12 Games Forum

-FIRST, find a thread on one of the forums with an open game.
-Post in the game to claim a nation according to the game's rules.

-Go to Game Tools and select "Create Pretender.'
-Choose your settings, etc.
-Once this is done, go to Game Tools and click "open user directory." This will open the folder - your data is saved in. Go to saved games, and then go to new lords.
-Send the most recent .2h file in that folder in an email from the email account you wish to use to "pretenders@llamaserver.net" using the name of the game, e.g. "steamedhordes0" in the subject line.

-Before your first turn, create a folder in "saved games" with the game name, e.g. "SteamedHordes0"
--Remember that you can find "saved games" by going to game tools and clicking "open user directory"
-When the game starts, and every turn thereafter, you will get an email with a .trn file.
-Download the .trn file to the folder you just made.
-Take your turn, and when your turn is complete, hit "end turn"
-Email the .2h file in "SteamedHordes1" to "turns@llamaserver.net"
-You should receive a confirmation email
-If you do not receive a .trn file, go to your game on llamaserver and request a turn resend. You can also request in thread for a resend.

I tried sending in my .2h file, but got an error message!

First, make sure you are in that game. If you are, there may be one of several things wrong, and llama's email should clarify it:

First, you sent the wrong number. If this is the case, llamaserver will tell you that it is for the wrong turn #.
Download the most recently sent .trn file, and use that to take your turn. Send the resulting .2h file.
Second, you might be sending your .2h file to the wrong email address. Turns should go to turns@llamaserver.net
Third, you might be sending a pretender file. Make sure that the .2h file you are sending is from the game folder. That is the folder you put the .trn file you received into before taking your turn.

Early game:

Theodoros ate everything and was scary (awake pretender stone snake)
Sauromatia attacked Niefelheim and got punched int he face for it

The Fall of Theodoros

Theodoros attacked Formatia
Formatia, Marvarni, Niefelheim and Agartha attacked Theo
(Little defence pact between marvarni and formatia, then added the others)

Theodoros falls, Sauromatia sieged
Vanheim grows and looks scary

Vanheim Wars

The Anti-Theo Alliance turns on Vanheim
Harsh war, eventually somewhat defeated.

Xibalba & Marverni conflict, due to scouts with "guards" (so just armys) all over Marvs turf,
harms anti-Vanheim alliance greatly. Vanheim also just fights back real good.

The Mess:

Marverni fights Vanheim & Xibalba, but Agartha grows far to large.
Desperate attacks on Agartha follow, supported by Formaria & Niefelheim
Assaults from Xibalba and Vanheim destroy Maverni lands (Xibalbas army could have just straight up walked into my capital and killed my boar-mothers honestly...)

The Late Game:

Peptually locked in a 3 front wars, Maverni is useless and Agartha employs the MASSIVE gem & Research lead form the savty of the water and pulls ahead.
Again, Agartha could honestly just have marched the army standing around right into my Capital without much issue, but making me come to them is a advantage.

Agartha secures all thrones (except one locked down by marverni) and wins

Battle Royal:

In this round by round competition, the last man standing wins. All other participants are enemies!
You start each round with a random weapon and armor. Your aim is to finish the game with the most possible points.
You get points when you kill an enemy and also, when you are the survivor of the round.
You are free to use one of your existing Avatar, including one from the solo.
Some of your PSI and cyber powers are deactivated in this game mode.

Team Artifact:

Team competition. In this mode, Jians confront Culters for the artifact control. To do that you need to:
Take the artifact and carry it to the enemy area.
If the artifact is in the enemy area, the round ends. A new one will start and players will return to their initial positions.
Each team starts with an amount of resurectors. You win the round when the other team runs out of resurectors.
Carrying the artifact to the enemy area.
Killing an enemy.
Hacking special interfaces.

At the beginning of the game, choose your team and character class.
