Newbie Slug Fest - Mose Hansen game - ENDED

I regret the demise of Ermor (assuming the siege goes OK) but I was already losing dominion to him & that could not be allowed to continue plus he looked weak.

I think that the title of this game is very misleading as in my opinion Panther's 10 game newby criterion means you might not really be a newby at all. Like me & Panther.

I also think these settings are bad for newbies as the game is too intense. I really like the settings but they are not forgiving.

losing is learning, slightly harsh but you know who says losing cant be fun. I had the biggest bLast holding out against Machaka in my other multi player game. I had but one other province at the time, no troops, a mottly band of priests and about 25 blood gems. These guys all cast summon imp(not the spell orders I gave them by the way) and put a large army to the sword. I think I watched that battle four times. The next time he attacked I found out the hard way that if you want to actually use your blood slaves you have to have them on your priests and not in storage.(duh)A swift death but still good times.

I should actually manage to play my turn later today (eight hours or so), assuming I can get Dominions to work on another computer and to actually manage the log in to the server. I do not know how much time is left until next hosting though; do I have enough time to make my turn? As you can guess, Mosehansen is down for me as well.

Sorry you are having problems. If you are indeed in France, my world clock says it's 1:20 a.m. in Paris now. The server says you have about 1440 minutes. So you should have time - if you are awake that is.

Indeed, I had over twelve hours to do the turn. Now you should no longer be slowed down by my lagging behind; I have done the next turn as well, and Beorne should come back today.

I'm back! you can set the qh to 24h, thank you and sorry for the delay!

My candles are still burning! I can't say for sure if I'm still holding out for the next five turns, but it's nice to still be in the game. Now, if only deccan had told me how to play before the game.

No problem! I hardly noticed any delay at all. As soon as the next turn hosts, I will change it back to 24 hours. I am afraid to do it right now because my current turn might stale.

I also recall that Krool Death was planning on being gone two weekends in September. Since we are running low on September weekends, I was wondering if this is still happening.
