I agree with this!

I will test my pretender after work with the new patch (I think there will be no suprises).

Were do we have to send the pretender? No password using?

The score graph should be for both. 4/7 does sound good, I think it'd be better.

No need for a password, seeing as how it's e-mail -based. Once the game is up on Llamaserver, you can send your pretender there. It'll be in your save folder in Application Data -> dom4 -> saved games -> lords or something like that. You can use the map install guide to get to the folder (should be in the first post).

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

I think I will go with Mictlan. The settings are fine for me.

I confirm Oceania, and I have my pretender ready.

We have to wait for the game to be created before submitting the pretenders, right ?

Yeah. I'll try and create the game now, but there's no promise that it's going to work today. Apparently Llamaserver ran into some trouble with the update (as I thought!)

I'll let you know what happens.

Edit: Well, I don't think we'll be starting in a hurry, now. Llamaserver's run into some trouble regarding some nasty crashing bug in 4.05, which means that we'll be waiting a while longer. If this doesn't resolve in the very near future, I can consider hosting the game myself. If it doesn't also start crashing :P

Quote from: Llamabeast
Unfortunately the new version of Dominions 4 (v4.05) appears to have a serious crash bug. I've passed the information on to Illwinter. The LlamaServer is unavoidably paused until they release a fixed version - sorry everyone!

I've got some good news, too, though: the new map with the changed throne and Oceania situation is now done. If you want custom names for provinces, you can send them to me and I'll work them in. I've got some pseudohistorical capitol names for most of you, but that might be something you want to personalise regardless. There's also a good number of extra magic sites, so be sure to search with your mages!

OK, I have my pretender ready for rumble.

It's name is "The Sin"...at the moment you can't know what this mean but I hope it will change when the time is right.
We will see us in the council chamber...I hope there is plenty of room.

(Do we need to reload the map from somewhere?)

What he was talking about the map is the Starting and throne positions, so no extra-downloading ;)

ok...that "new map" sounds like a new map version (perhaps after patch or such) :)

then I hope my Dom4 is configured correct and I have made only little mistakes on pretender creation because of short of sleep.

Regarding llamaserver:

Johan has given me a quick fix which hopefully will overcome the crash bug. However I'm unlikely to have time to implement it until Saturday, so that's the current ETA. Sorry to keep you waiting.

Foot over foot, step after step. An age was nearing its end at the top of the stairs. Many moons and summers and winters had this pressure over the world dictated its happenings, its caprice a final law over all. All save for one.

Aeons past, during the ascension wars, the aspiring god had offended a particularly quarrelsome, jealous and powerful witch in taking over her estates and magical property. In her dying throes, as the Master gripped her very soul, she crowed: "Who is John Galt?"

Thus was his fate sealed, the curse unfailing. The sorrow washed absolutely over the totality of Biddyn, from the deepest pond to the highest knoll. All the birds sweetly wailed, the sun brightly burned.

To day, then, with scarce moments after the passing of the Master, the powers that be are called from their slumber, their servitude, their imprisonment, to attend the council (which had been left alone for as long as the Pantokrator reigned).  One by one, they arrive at the ethereal chambers. Enter Darkwing, the blessed putto of the late Lord. He waggles his beautous form, dropping angel particles on the valued guests, and welcomes the Six.
Spoiler: The welcoming (click to show/hide)

The game's now up at Llamaserver (praise be!), and its name is B12GamesRound403. I first created one with the correct, traditional naming convention, but I screwed up the settings and I couldn't recreate with the identical name. Mea culpa (I am the worst admin).

As a reprise of the instructions in the first post, here's how you send your pretender in. Game on!

Wouldn't we need to install the "Biddyn with starts and thrones" map into the maps folder? I haven't seen a download link for it. (I have Biddyn, of course, but since you've modified and renamed it...)

/facepalm I'm an idiot
Can you tell this is my first time hosting? :p

Yeah, that might be problematic, but I think you can get away with (I'm sorry for the trouble!) renaming a copy of the Biddyn .tga file as Bay12_403, as that's what the .map uses. I don't think you should need to download the .map file, since that information should be in the .trn file. Right?

I just realized that "llamaserver" requires attaching turn files to emails and downloading new turns from emails... D:
