Yeah, its often finding the time to play that's hard (more so than the time to actually execute the turn) especially in the early turns.

But one thing that can speed up the game by almost a factor of two is if the person that takes the last turn (the turn that triggers hosting) can hang around a few more minutes and play the next turn as well.

Just a suggestion.

Y'know, he's got a point. Septimius Severus, you were the last player to take a turn last round, so five minutes after you mailed in your orders you should have received another turn. Surely it's better to take it straight away, while you're still running Dominions?

Ermor is on the move. More and more faithful are returning from the realm of the dead to serve. Vesta princess of witchcraft goddess of fisherman is swiftly obtaining the dark occult wisdom of the ancients. All hail Vesta the true goddess, she who will soon release the assembly of the royal ancestors to infest the world.
Ia Ia Ia.

Yeah, although, as the game progresses I need more and more time to plan my moves, adjust my scripts, etc., especially me being a noob and all. Quite a bit of micromanagement it seems. I wonder if there is anyway to route production queues to a certain province (waypoints), like in Space Empires.

The air is filled with the smell of horses, dust and sweat. The ancestors are returning soon the Whirlwind will be ready. The desolate but holy waste seems a perfect place for Vesta, princess of witchcraft, goddess of fisherman to raze her army of the dead. Her power grows and soon many more lands will be enthralled by the Emorian Empire.

Ashdod has requested a delay from the 8th to 11th. If nobody has a problem with that I'll delay hosting on monday.

Lokean · #7 December 8th, 2008, 02:53 AM

I've just suffered a crippling bug, which is annoying. Thankfully, the hosting has been delayed for Ashdod anyway, so I might be able to get it resolved, but it's possible I'll have to roll back the turn (if that even works)...

Zapmeister · #8 December 8th, 2008, 05:11 AM

Please try to avoid a rollback if at all possible.

I don't know if anyone has noticed but Marignon has been stale for the past three turns and I doubt that will change anytime soon. I'd also recommend not bothering looking for a replacement as even if we did find one by the looks of things they wouldn't be hanging around much longer.

I'd suggest just setting it to AI and moving on.

I would not mind a short delay.
Merry Christmas
