OK that is gibberish to me! (As I am technologically illiterate)
Does it tell me what the pretender looks like ie magic dominion castle? If so I will make the effort to find out what you mean. BTW I did not mean to criticise your site - more the game and I am sanguine about that I was just frustrated at the time (which is an apology!)

Also the Gazumper was me! I originally set up the wrong pretender, noticed this in a practice then tried to overwrite my original but seem to have failed

You cannot check magic paths and so on. What you CAN do is check that the pretender uploaded to the server is sane as pretender stored on your harddisk.

To know the stats, you would have to create a local game and have a look. Yes, it would be great if you could browse your own pretender, but the format is closed.

There are some victory point sites on the map that I do not recall from practice games. Do these mean anything.

In a word: Yes. Capturing VP provinces helps spread your dominion.

Of course, if the game is using VP for victory condition, they also help you win the game. Check the statistics (F2 in the game) to see if this is the case. If there is a graph over VP, VP are the victory condition.

seems to be something wrong with the game now. When 1 connect through the wetsite it says to haven't done my turn. When I connect through Dominions itself, it says t have. Is there a problem?
