Hehe - the trash talk urge is so strong. We may not be able to talk about this game, but you can't keep us from talking up other games in this thread

Except - uh, oh dear - I"M NOT IN ANY OTHER GAMES!!!!!!

must not talk trash.....

Censored trash talk?

"Hey yo [beep]! I'm so sorry my [beep] just beat the snot out of your [beep] at [beep] province! My favorite part of the battle was when my [beep] cast [beep] and vaporized your [beep]! That was great! Oh, and thanks for the spoils--I always wanted a [beep], [beep], and [beep]!"

Hmmm.... maybe not.

An update on my situation:

I bought a new computer and got it working yesterday. I then loaded Dominions and upgraded it. The comcast cable was also installed late in the afternoon and (after hours of effort on the phone with tech support) I was online at about 10 PM. I then found many of the necessary mods on the various sites.

However, I had at least one mod missing from every game I am currently playing. I don't recall which one I am missing in this game, but I will check when I get home from work today and look again for it.

I should be able to do my next turn this evening and help get this game moving once again.

Panther, tell us you didn't get a lowly Mac like Pasha did.

PCs are the only way to go.

I did not get a Mac. I did, for the first time, get the AMD processor intead of the Intel processor. I was also totally blown away by how cheap high-powered PCs have become, not having looked at the market for almost 5 years!

And in a display of strange marketing, it was cheaper to get a monitor and printer (neither of which I will use but plan to resale in the original boxes) bundled with the computer. Because of the current rebate system, the manufacturers actually gave me $50 off the price of the CPU just to include the two peripheral items in the deal. Is this a great country or what?!?

First of all, let me tell you that my new sassy MAC is rocking my world.

Nonetheless, I also have a PC with a AMD processor at my office, and it works great. (I also had that experience that it was cheaper to buy the computer with a monitor and a printer. The monitor I use. The printer is still in the box. Would you like to buy it, Panther?)

I know of another computer with an AMD processor. I SPILLED COFFEE into it. After 2 days, it was dried out and still works like a dream.

Hi All:

There is at least one player who was adversely affected by Alneyan's "recompilation." I would hate to say it, but would it make sense to do a fresh restart so that no one would be disadvantaged?

I'm going AI already. This is because I attacked an independent with 20 hoburgs, but then the old host changed something and 20 hoburgs turned into about 30 knights and other. I lost my entire force. In a game where research is this hard, I cant bounce back with the loss of my starting 400 gold. Sorry to quit on you guys, I was looking forward to this game

I still dont understand why we just didnt restart, it was the 2nd turn

Sorry to have Bill leave us.

So... I have asked Dragonfire11 to jump in as a substitute. We will see.

If Dragonfire11 steps into the game maybe I shouldn't ask him to submit for me...
