It's a bit soon to switch to 48 hours in my opinion. Especially considering that turns at this point take about 5 minutes to complete, if even.

Considering Agartha has staled his first two turns, I'd be loathe to lose a second player so I'm happy to bump up to 48h quickhost for the sake of Septimius Severus.

Whoever's starting closest to Agartha has just been given a free E5 gem site, however...

Hmm. If Agartha is staling, then quickhost is effectively disabled and turns will drag out to two days. Is it possible to get Agartha switched to AI?

That would certainly be the plan if we went to 48h, yes. Though as I say, it's a lovely gift for the nearest nation (let's all hope it's not Ulm...)

A friend has loaded up Agartha and set it to AI.

For me, it is not matter of the time to complete the turn but rather the time I have available to download, boot up, play, and e-mail my turn back. I sometimes don't play everyday, but every other day and it is more convienent for me to upload my turn when I'm online the following day.

The winds whip across the barren landscape. Deep within the scared caverns on which the ancients carved occult symbols of arcane knowledge, Vesta Princess of Witchcraft, Goddess of Fishermen is uncovering ancient legends of dark wisdom. This strange knowledge is helping her call hero's back from the dead to expand the Ermorian Empire.

Vesta will grant you life after death. You must all join with the Dark Goddess.

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.
