Hi guys, I'm the developer, this long delay is all my fault. I've been slow, but I think it's worth it, you'll have a site of quality. I'm making progress at the moment and I'm close to fulfulling the automation of a whole turn (though I'll need Pocus help for the game engine side of the processing)...

Will it be possible to play a game with more than 2 players? - say an Eastern and Western command for each side? Not an essential feature but just curious. Hi Flashman, the answer is Yes. You'll be able to play 2 vs 2 games because multiple players can be assigned the same slot (or camp/side). When...

a few numbers related to my previous post : - 700 years scenario / 1 month turn length : 8400turns (RIP) - 300 years scenario / 1 month turn length : 3600 turns (RIP) - 700 years scenario / 2 years turn length : 350 turns - 300 years scenario / 1 year turn length : 300 turns - 180 years scenario / 2...

I thought a bit about how to remake GI on the AGE (turn-based) engine, or actually any turn based game with large periods of time. The main problem is time. Great Invasions scenarii span over hundreds and hundreds years. On another hand, we don't really want a turn to be too long. 1 month could be o...

And you'll hopefully get plenty of info about your games on the web site, and be able to post comments in the game thread (good for roleplay as well)

We'd also like to provide tools to help you upload and download game files, and handle those files for you...

You'll also have PbWeb which we intend to be easier and more comfortable than PBEM for slow paced games. Have a look here : http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?t=1769 Regarding to the "turn unfolding" feature, you just need to keep pressure on Pocus, and ask him again, and again... :niark: oup...

As development continues, Ageod is pleased to inform the community that we are confident to be able to offer a fully featured play by web portal for Ageod's games, starting off with BoA and AACW within the coming months, most likely next Spring. The web site will provide a free hosting service and w...

well, actually, it won't change any internals regarding to PBEM, but will provide some multiplayer service that will be much more convenient than pure PBEM.

vLabz

please note that there is an improvement project aiming at automating files manipulations regarding to PBEM. It should not be available before a few monthes though.

vLabz

The PBEM service is still in development...
I plan to advance significantly during august, then I hope I'll be able to give you some news.

oops, not at all ! Just thinking about what would a "turn" represent if ever it was adapted to the BOA engine !

vLabz

If I had the time and means, it would be great to adapt GI on the BoA engine !! :nuts: Je me demande comment ça serait possible. Outre les millions de règles qu'il faut implémenter et les évolutions qu'il faudrait apporter au moteur AGE, je me demande quelle durée représenterait un tour ? Je pense ...

It looks like all file transmissions are done via email (upload and download). You can manually send an email to the central server (with a specific adress) but most of the time you don't need to, I'm going to try that out... (looks like a fun game btw !) The goal of the PBEM services is to provide ...

vLabz

It should be noted that PBEM is very minimally supported by BoA. There are no passwords, no file encryption. And a very limited "replay". Not only is it easy to cheat, it is hard not to accidentally cheat. Some of these problems are solved if you can find a third non-player willing to "host" your g...

L'ancien forum a été perdu dans l'affaire ? Dommage, il y avait plein de trucs dessus... :p leure: Pfff ces éditeurs, pas fichus ni de gérer leur boîte ni de sauvegarder leurs serveurs !! :fleb: C'est quoi l'affaire du forum perdu ? Je vois en effet que le site a été bougé et le forum n'est plus le...

I too like Dominions a lot. I discovered play by mail with the Dominions series. I'm not very experienced and I consider myself still as a beginner. I'm loooonging for Dominions III, a slightly better interface, slightly better graphics, more spells, more units and nations, and a random map generato...

vLabz

Oui, il y a des fans (et même plus que ça) de la série dans le coin.

ils en parlent dans ce thread, c'est en anglais (comme dominions

)

If everything goes as planned, you can expect very nice things to come concerning PBEM play...

Me too, I enjoyed soooo much UFO that I'm still looking for a similar experience. OMG, discovering those aliens practices on earth was freaky :8o: I also finished Terror from the Deep after a while, which was not that bad (although a bit disapointing since it was the same engine, very slightly enhan...

à BoA, quasi tout ce qui sort du fichier du joueur est vérifié, mouliné puis validé par le module de hosting, et du coup la sauvegarde est en clair. ok, c'est prometteur tout ça, le fait de tout controler côté host procure une sécurité totale... sinon, vous prévoyez d'abord un PBEM traditionnel j'i...

Oui, techniquement on est très proche de D2...mais Pocus t'en dira plus (et mieux) que moi. excellent, je suis curieux de connaitre les détails ! :nuts: Pour le service d'organisation de parties, c'est prévu pour 2006. :siffle: Excellente nouvelle :coeurs: !

Dans le détail de l'unité (ou du chef) tu as la liste de ses aptitudes ainsi que le tooltip quand tu passes sur l'écusson de l'aptitude. Dans le panneau principal, tu as aussi ces écussons, avec le tooltip. c'est un peu bête mais je viens d'avoir partielle réponse à la question que je me posais : l...

Hello et félicitations pour cette initiative avec BoA et plus généralement ageod, ça donne envie de contribuer à de tels projets, ne serait-ce qu'avec des coups de pub et des idées !
