Couple things: Ermor staled - normally not a big deal but he's in the midst of a war for survival. Ermor are you around? I'd hate to see two stales in a row while fighting. Hopefully that wasn't an indication of surrender - we were looking forward to some exciting counterattacks

Also, I am not exactly sure when Pyth will be back - I will add time if needed to accomodate his request.

NKican hasn't been on the boards since 2/23 it seems and staled again. Frankly, I don't think it mattered much in their fight with me since I defeated his one big army near me before he vanished. At this point, I think Ermor is in shambles and won't matter whether they are AI, or not, but AI is preferable to letting them just stale. I doubt we can find a sub but open to ideas.

I also doubt that we'll find a sub - the position is not good. I think we should set Ermor AI. It may not make much difference but at least the AI will launch some attacks, instead of just sitting there.

Did anyone else get a stale? I definitely submitted my turn and even checked llamaserver earlier today and looked like we were just waiting on Mictlan but the turn I just received show's I staled and has none of my orders....arrrgghhh! (especially annoying b/c I had to do that turn twice since my computer crashed...)

edit: oh, maybe it was because of the patch?! My turn was submitted pre-the patch / llama crash.
I don't mind rolling back or playing on - slight preference to rolling back unless the stale affected everyone.

I staled as well and also submitted my turn before applying the patch. I'm guessing everyone staled - except possibly Mictlan, who may have applied the patch before submitting his turn.

I would like to roll-back and resubmit the turns, saved with the new patch applied.

Edit: I also got an e-mail from the llamaserver that Dominions crashed when the server tried to host the game.

Is anyone playing on a Mac? That would have caused the crash given the patch has issues with Macs.

Ah, you rolled back! Nice one. Anyway, the crash won't recur. It was caused by a bug in v3.23, but JK's let me have a patched version for the LlamaServer so it won't crash now.
