Veturi - LA (Started)

I just made my turn in with 4 seconds to spare. Would it be possible to set the quickhost to 25 hours instead of 24? I'll still send things in as early as possible, but sometimes events conspire to make it just barely impossible to get a turn in without giving only partial orders.

The unholy Ermor hordes have attacked the Empire of Man. Our troops are
retreating back to our domain, where we WILL return the undead abominations
to the grave. From what our scouts report, a significant portion of Ermor's
spellcasters is part of the invasion. This is a perfect time for all living
nations to work together to end the undead threat once and for all.

I call upon the High Inquisitors of Marignon to fight their hereditary enemy,
to the Angakut of Atlantis to protect the oceans from those who do not breath,
to the wise Sauromancers of C'tis to teach a lesson to those who never knew
restraint in their dealing with the undead.

We have not had contact with with Pangea and T'ien C'hi, but we believe that
they do not want to see the world turned into ashes and ruled by nercomancers.

Let us fight together!

I've finally cleared out the last of the independents from the narrow stretch of land occupied by my peoples.

The people of Ice and Bone, the Frozen Sea, aren't necessarily opposed to the spread of a fellow death cult, but we are troubled at the direction this war is taking. If Ermor takes out man, my Atlantians will be hemmed in by the unliving to both the north AND south.

Our NAP with Ermor was 'indefinite' and vague, with no clauses towards the length or proper termination thereof. Instead of taking the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, I am taking the somewhat honorable route. I am declaring our NAP null and void. To be clear, I am NOT declaring war on the nation of Ermor. I've got things I'd rather do. But if the situation becomes dire, I will become involved. In man's favor, in the attempt to stabilize the situation. I would define dire as threatening their capital, not currently an issue. Possibly, the threat of an attack on other flanks will be enough to slow Ermor down and give Man some advantage. I will also retain the option to invade Ermor if I change my mind and decide to go a-banishing.

I'm not currently concerned about the state of things, since diplomatic relations with man have been cordial, but extremely limited. Feel free to carve into each other, trading territory, while I enjoy my first game where I actually HAVE MONEY! A game where I'm not scrounging for every cent?! Will the wonders never cease?

If someone wishes to negotiate with me live, I'm on aim. LazPer12.

I finally got that network game shortcut working. I'd accidentally stuck an extra - in there.

This is what finally worked for me, minus the noglext tag that most of you won't need. If you want to create a Veturi shortcut, I'll share/help.
-C --ipadr 85.77.57.219 --port 2222

Thanks again for pointing out the command switches. Also, a pox on Ich for throwing that red herring my way. There is no --help. A hundred years from now, when I'll be skilled enough to take you on, my Atlantians will be doing the macarena over your pretender's corpse.

Really? Have you looked in stdout.txt?

There definitely is a --help! I just tested it to be sure.

You're correct. But why the fark did it appear in C:\Games instead of C:\Games\Dominions 3? Oh well, I revoke my pox, and render apologies. Can I keep the macarena?

You may. Hmm, sounds like the extra space throws off the executable. Sounds like a bug, you might want to report that.
