Dominion 3 - A Game of Noobs

[MasterBoo]

Oh I really like my position.
Good luck all (AKA die).

I'd postulate that the game will start most players near the edges of the map, so that reduces it to two :)

......You know too much...you must be silenced....

[Nullkigan]

Actually I double checked and all three swamps are within 1 province of the edge of the map so I was wrong :(

[Sarigs]

Then I will allow you to live for the moment!

[riadsala]

oooh, and we're off. Good luck everybody, play nice :p

Right FYI here's what I'm planning on doing with files/dropbox.

when I process a turn I will turn the generated .trn files into THE MAIN FOLDER not a sub folder. So straight off the bat they should be there. I'll make a Archive folder where I will turn the previous turn files. There no reason to be poking round in there and it'll just be in case I mess up process a turn or something and I can wind the clock back a turn etc. (Thats the theary) There will also be a "Turn 1" fold which I shall try to rename every turn. Thats where people should dump there .2h files.

That way I know where everything is. I shall delete the .trn files once I have the .2h file so we can see who is missing their turn. Hopefully that'll keep things from getting too complicated as we go along.

I'll process the turns when I get home tonight, may be a bit on the late side as I'm going via the pub! Over the weekends and while it's early I'll try to process the turns same day the last file is submitted so we can tick along at a decent speed until our empires get big enough to make everything worth thinking about

Just a note that I'll need a few hours before my next turn; I'm still writing up turn one.

Ha.

Here's my turn 1:
make scout a prophet
set Pretender to research
buy a handful of new troops.
done

:0)

I'm trying to write it so someone who isn't completely familiar with the game can figure out what I'm doing. Otherwise my list would be even shorter than yours :(

[Sarigs]

Well I have a potential middle term plan. I've no idea if it will work or pay off though lol

[MasterBoo]

Are we planning to RP through the in-game messages?

Ah. Why not save yourself the trouble and point any new people in this direction: http://lparchive.org/Dominions-3/
That's where I learnt nearly everything I know about this game. Well written, informative, etc :)

[Nullkigan]

Yeah, I've added that to my intro.

5.5k words got me through that, pretender design and the first turn. Brevity is not my strong point.

A little can't hurt, but I don't think we really need to imagine we're Dragons out to conquer the world. Stuff like signing off as a nation instead of as a player, maybe?

[Sarigs]

New turns are up! Unless I've cocked it up again!

[Nullkigan]

Seems to be working for me. I'd forgotten Abysia had assassins.

[MasterBoo]

Hmmmm? ಠ_ಠ

[Nullkigan]

> Abysia has declared X the Slayer to be their prophet
> Look up Abysian Slayer on servegame wiki
> ... time to hire body guards

:D

[Nullkigan]

Groovy, do you require assistance?

[groovychainsaw]

Thanks for the offer Null, but i've just been 'away' for the last couple of days - i've popped my turn back in now, hopefully.
