edit: I'd swear I've seen Barack Obama in the hall of fame the turn before last.

Barak is down in the polls this month.  He lobbied hard for universal flea treatments that some more conservative Yogis have labeled socialist.  He got a big enough boost last month, a brilliant piece of diplomacy securing concessions from Mictlan for the death of Big Jeb, that he won Heroic Strength and the Guru Ghandi Peace Prize.  He might be down now, but don't you dare count him out!

Hah.  I laughed out loud while watching the battle replay.  Unexpected.  Won't happen a second time.

Unfortunately, I live in Australia and when you said that I was at school. I'm trying to get atleast a turn before school and one after school, but it isn't working quite as well as that.

Don't sweat it, mate.  I had the itch is all and we scratched it rather well yesterday.  Also parasites.

Almost got your turn ready, Cheeetar?  I got time for one more, <<just. one... more... turn.>>

Edit: I am packing it in for the night.  Productive day of Dom3, nice.

Bunch of incompletely documented keyboard shortcuts in this game.  The < and > keys resize the commander icons.  Not to the point of disappearing, but maybe attempting to resize them will remind your Dom3 to the display them.

Hmmm, you've got the correct province selected?  And there is map filter to hide units on the map itself, but I think what you are describing is a lack of a GUI element, the left side commander menu.

What changed since you played last?  Do the other menus still display properly?

How do you rename stuff?

Press r or R while the character sheet is open.

I renamed my starting commander Lieutenant Bandar, as starting commaders are often thrown into chancy battles he might catch a bad break before long, but I hope he makes it long enough to face off with Mictlan.

Anyone chime in with a good tutorial on making a video for youtube from some whatever game?  If we get into any good throwdowns it would be fun for our own posterity and those following the thread to see some A/V of the awesomeness of Dom3.  Sure its a steep price tag for the game, those sexy models don't pose with angry come get some faces for free, but never was more the case of you get what you pay for.  Lotta content in this sucker.  Likewise Dwarf Fortress, I've contributed more than the cost of Dom3 and I get a great forum, a great game, great devlogs and a great feeling of moral righteousness.

Hurray for B12!

Praise Sacred Mount Kailasa!

I, for one, hate the bandar.  They move into our map, steal our low-paying jobs, and marry our insecure fat women.  It's ridiculous.

Also, tell Lieutenant Bandar his mom was all over my rune smasher last night.

Many Bandar enjoy the company of a full figured human woman.  Human vanity influences them not, they are gorillas after all and fragility is not a trait they value.   Marriage, however, is uncommon as those with the means much prefer to keep harems.  And if by steal your low paying jobs you mean the administration of your fortresses and provinces then yes, they will be stealing those.

Lieutenant Bandar's mother was generally pleased with how well you groomed her.  Though you set a good example for your subjects she says she does not intend to return the favor.

/OOC

Hah, turn two trash talk.  In a week's time we'll be signing a Non Aggression Pact to ward off someone like Hinnom or Niefel.

EDIT: The story of the mute giant pleases Kailasa.  He'd have only said something profane anyhow.

Lieutenant Bandar says Mictlan Jaguars lick many jungle toads and chew stinky mushrooms.  Makes them impotent he says, no wonder all the blood slaves are virgins.  When your women tire of being bred to imps let them know the Yaksha of Sacred Mount Kailasa are so virile they can please one hundred women every night and then slay one hundred demons every day.

The pipes and sitars of the Devas ring throughout the soapstone temples of Sacred Mount Kailasa.  Great bulls draped in garlands and sweet smelling oils are led by Yogis as great silver backed Bandar apes drink and eat and speak amongst themselves in the rumbling lyrical growls of their language.  The Great One of the Mount, who shall rule all the Celestial Sphere and all the Material Plane, has called on those who so love Sacred Mount Kailasa to venture forth from the temples.  Venture forth and make forever quiet the discord of the ignorant races, the foul blasphemous speech of the giants, the muttering stupor of the blood worshippers, the cold distant sputterings of the deep ones.  To quiet the discord of this land so that all the world shall sing and play the Celestial Music and the two spheres shall forever become one.

Nations of Urraparrand, lay down your arms and welcome the Sacred Music into your lands.  The Devas are forgiving and would find a place for those among you who do not resist us.  Grooming a Bandar is a place of honor and you may eat as many lice as you might find.  And when you've inevitably contracted a painful and wasting disease from all the ticks you've eaten and your time upon this plane is passed, you who have been a most observant groomer might be so blessed as to be reborn as a Markata.

Those who choose to resist the might of the Devas and Sacred Mount Kailasa will know the both the power and the fury of the Celestial Sphere.

Praise slMagnvox and praise all who love Sacred Mount Kailasa!

Oh, I'm still in.
In before you send me a PM.

Edit: So, the idea is to start up Dominions 3, go to the multiplayer area and connect to llamaserver or something? Or, if only the host can add new gods, I'd prefer to be Vanheim with Father of Winters.

Read The Llamaserver FAQ.  Dom3 doesn't really have an interface for PBEM so you'll be doing some of the legwork.  Make sure all the emails you send to llamaserver have the game name as the subject.  Whats the game name Cthulhu?

Looks like it is named Bay12Games.

Designing your pretender is the first step, like Llama says use the Create a Pretender God interface on the Dom3 Game Tools menu to make an Early Age god for the nation you want to play.  No picking Kailasa, only one of each nation per game so pick a nation no one else has claimed yet.  No password either.

Deffault settings a-ok.  Taking up Special Site frequency a click or two (50 or 55) is always good fun.  Going EA so looks like I am Kailasa.  Prepare to get monkey-whipped.
