Any news on changing the timelimit for the quickhost? I'll probably go stale once this weekend on 24 hour QH.

Well, it wasn't much of a vote, so I think i'll just make an executive decision, and set it to 48h qh on Sat morning. If there's an objection, we can hash it out on Monday.

Thanks Thufir! I really appreciate it. Who knows, maybe the C'tis will help you out

[Thufir]

We are now on 48hr quickhost.

Also, Jotunheim has now gone AI. Thanks for playing, Mr. Ninja, it was fun while it Lasted (if only either of us knew how to counter devils, I'm sure it would've gone much differently! )

it was indeed fun, but devil's weren't the main problem! I ended up losing my major investement (at least when it could have mattered still) to lava warriors. That will teach me to send Niefel Jarls into a hot environment. I actually had a decent hope of surviving once i got the forge up....until Vanheim rolled into my territory with the vastly superior forces...whew... it felt like i was shooting black powder rifles at tanks. Ahhh well. Good luck to everyone, most especially my good Pythium allies and Abysian and Vanheimian foes... I'd like to say that though I lost at least my enemie(s)/ally won.

Ack... 2.14 hosed me. My commanders with two soul contracts only produce one devil per turn. There goes half my devil production. They are cursed items so I can't remove them. Sigh.

Also, two of my commanders just got attacked by Ashen Angels. I've never seen that before in SP. Is that a player casted spell? If so, which one?

I still on v2.12 - out of town and I'm unable to upgrade without wiping and reinstalling before upgrading (at least that is how it worked for v2.12) and I'm not sure if I have Dom2 disc with me...

...48 hour QH cool - I've been having trouble connecting...

afaik, it's not a disaster to do your turns w/ 2.12. You can expect the combat replays to be quite wrong - so don't trust them (combat summaries are ok). Also, they're might be descriptions won't reflect rule changes.

You shouldn't have to uninstall/reinstall to upgrade, everything worked fine for me, at least just doing the normal upgrade (and this should be true whether you're upgrading from 2.12 or 2.13). The only caution is that you might want to copy the executable for 2.12 before you do that upgrade, in case any games you're in are still on 2.12.

I actually felt really bad about invading you. But put yourself in my place. I had nowhere to expand, and had I attacked C'tis, the two of us would have been easy pickings for whoever emerged victorious in the Abysya war.

And did not give me an easy time of it. Your flying Jarls came as a total surpise to me, and my economy is still recovering from their raids. You caught one of my main armies while the anti-air support was AWOL and wiped it out.

But put my mind at ease. You were going only after me, right? I would hate to think I was dealing with one third of your forces.

I see Arco staled again. J Henry, I just want to let you know that upgrading to 2.14 should help. I had experienced similar connection "burps" with 2.12, but haven't had a single incident since I upgraded.

[Schmoe]

Hey Thufir, I feel bad for your scout. Hehe, poor guy, that's what I call a no-win situation. I guess there's a reason they give scouts hazard pay.
