I should be able to give some feedback later tonight.

edit:
I downloaded it and at first it couldn't find the .tga file. So I went to my map folder and changed the .pdn to .tga. Then I got an error about not being able to open the map image.
Either you need to reupload a file with .map and .tga files or there's something else entirely funking up the files.

Further edit:

Just a heads up. Version 4.10 of Dominions will be released in a few days if all goes well.

I would prefer if we waited until the patch comes out before starting this game, though I won't mind if everyone else wants to rush this a bit.

I took the liberty of converting the file to .tga, and here is a "fixed" .rar.

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.

Ok, power went out just after reading you message, Delta Foxtrot, and came back just now...

I updated the zip file, as it contained the paint.net image file instead of the dominion-readable one.

About waiting for the new patch, I'm not against that, as we already have to wait a bit for Mindmaker, and as not everybody may have his rpetender ready. If the patch adds new nations, I think we should stay away from them (Ragha is not the best balance example), and I don't think it changes anything for the pretenders nor any of the main mecanics of the nations we reserved, so don't hesitate to plan what you'll do with the current version and create your pretender as soon as the patch is out ;)

Utgård with N9F9B9D9S9W9E9 and O3G3P3. I went with Drain 3 and Misfortune 3 to pay for it, but eh, I have Fortune Tellers.

Well, the game is not launched yet, so of course ;)

It also means that if one player want to join, it is possible !

...

I'm looking at Bogarus right now. Wish me luck.

EDIT: Never mind. I can't play due to that map. It's not that bad, but looking at it for too long hurts my eyes. And that's the last thing to worry about while playing Dominions. Best of luck, everyone else.

Ok guys, mindmaker is back and llamaserver is updated, which means we canfinally launch the game.
I'll set it up in a nine hours (when I'm home), as I need to upload my map.

Please make sure you have your pretender ready (the patch should not have changed anything for our races so this should be ok).

We're currently 6 players and the limit for this game is set at 7 players, so if a last player want to join, don't hesitate to say it :)

I won't be able to send my pretender in for the next 8-9 hours, but after that I'll email my ready (!!!) pretender, the Witch-King of Utgård. And Delta Foxtrot, you will be pleasantly surprised... :P Or disappointed.

Just in case you set it up from wherever you are!

Posting isn't that far from setting up a game either!

Also, yes, the map hurts the eyes -- zooming in helps a lot. I suppose those more sensitive among us could just apply some filter or another to make it easier to look at, since I don't think that invalidates the turn.

I don't know what I could do about the eye-hurting thing.
The may has high contrast and brightness, but lowering either will result in something less readable, I think...
Moreover, for people who play with province names always on (like me), they're not really readable on the plain background (more than half the provinces), as most of it is white on yellow... :/

I should try to change something about this, but I don't really know what to do.

Zooming in doesn't help enough for me. And sometimes you need to zoom out and take in everything in a glance too.

I guess I'll try fiddling with the map to make it less agony inducing, but don't hold your breath. And definitely don't reserve me a spot, I still don't know which nation I'm playing.
