PBEM game: The first step (Running)

[Molog]

Turn 6

I Check out the situation. Give some orders. Will take more decisions in the morning.

Find an enemy capital two provinces away from mine. Each person should be capable of conquering about 19 independent provinces before running out of room. So don't get nervous and start an early war causing both sides to lose the game.

Turn 6

Machaka gained a fifth province. Pangaea captured two provinces, for a total of four. Arcosephale also has four provinces now. Man, Ermor, and Marignon have three. Pythium and Jotunheim have two.

Pythium found a gem site. Machaka's research lags behind the rest.

Jotunheim hired Hector's Heavy Horsemen.

Im sure you can see the logic here.
I see Im not faring so well, but its just the beginning of the game, so I'll wait before I declare myself dead

I agree with the assessment of not starting a war too soon. With so many indies, there is PLENTY of work to do before picking a fight with my neighbors.

Are we still waiting on someone for the next turn? I'm hoping we can get a few turns done this weekend (time permitting for everyone).

Mostly because I'm traveling next week (was selected at the last minute for a business trip), and I'm still trying to get a laptop so I can still submit my turns.

My company provided me a laptop, but it's BARELY able to play Dom2. It's a P2 366Mhz. I had to turn off all graphics and do a few command line switches just to get it semi-playable (though it has crashed several times for no reason). Hopefully I can get a faster laptop over the weekend. Worst case scenario, I'll give my orders to Alneyan to run the 2 turns that I may miss.

No turns for Man yet, but next turn should run in a couple of hours (because of the deadline).
