Hello!

[krazykai]

Firstly, id like to thank you for the mod for this great game to make it even greater!! thanks!

Been following the Idea thread for the LOM:II theres alot of well thought out stuff there very cool. wish they would make a MMO of this game. so many elements already to give it a good start and enough fantasy content to appeal to lots of people.
I noticed some of you guys played EQ and have been using that as an idea base to come up with some ideas. i never played it myself i use to play Asheron's Call when it was first around, that was an awesome sandbox game such an experience until expansions(spoiled the game). some elements of that could go really well into such a world as Urak such as interface and actual roaming of the game world. like to idea of being able to have a choice of everything but not having everything. such as a Warrior who knows how to enchant his own sword, or heal his own wounds never both. for ability to adventure alone. he would never be as powerful as a duo warrior and enchanter.

sorry I'm really bad at writing stuff, i always loose track and go onto something else

anyhow question; what is the multi-player game of LOM:SE like? never tried it would like to but a few questions id like to ask.
does it take along time? how long usually?

is the game speed static? or can it be changed( i usually play on 30' world and 25-28combat.

what happens if your lord dies? if it game over or can you repeat before he died if its a battle with a dungeon?

so i assume decisions are more final, no entering level 8 caves unless sure can win or game over.

are battles done by auto calc? or can the person play them and does that mean the other player has to sit idle until he is finished?

While waiting for other players to finish their turn, can set units to travel places so when its your go u can press the 'move all' button to cut down waiting times?

Can you use the custom start during multi-player, so can start with own army,spells,artifacts?


I run LOM:SE on vista, so was wondering a few questions in-case i decide to partition my HD so i can play this on-line if possible.

Thanks alot if any answers to these questions.
Keep up the good work!

belongs to the number of players and the settings. as far as I remember, you have to decide if you all will always use auto calc or always have to play manually. in last case - with "observe all combat" enabled - you will also see the AI playing manually. with observe all combat fights can last really long if both armies are comparable since the AI won't attack in the first seconds. also, the AI seems to be worse while using manual fights. you will see AI lords die in easy caves with manual fights enabled. if your lord dies, you will be able to see the world but you cannot play anymore. you can only observe.

I think you cannot use custom start in multiplayer. This is recommended since you can easily cheat enless barter points and all possible artifacts (see glitch and funstuff thread).

i see thanks for the information
i guess would have to play with Autocalc on, i guess its too easy otherwise cos could spend like 30mins in one dungeon with a thief attack hiding i usually fight all my fights in LOM:SE.
be much harder using auto calc, because i hate loosing any type of unit, il keep redoing something untill i get it done peferct. so i always seem to be afew steps ahead of the computer.

autoclac wise id prob always die n loose my best men but i guess that will mae the game harder and more interesting if im constantly having to replenish my armys. and i cant use the spells as effectily when in combat .

Thanks again for the info, id love to try this on multi-play, but i just cant be botherd to format my pc and partition it, so i can play [Laugh out Loud]

LOMSE multiplayer can somewhat be described as a chess game between two opponents, across the world, by mail. It can sometimes take 16 whole hours to play a complete game.

First dozen turns are usually the longest, after that, it's a lot of waiting due to training or whatever.

Long in the opening, stretched in the middle but can be quick, varied ends (depending how badly you obliterate your opponents).

cool sounds fun, i just been trying to play without only using auto calc. its fast and its a completly different game!! much more strat to it!

Can multiplayer games been saved and resumed at a later date?
