I think we ought not to force host until tomorrow when he should have repsonded or not then turn him AI - 5 turns is long enough to tell us what is going on

your strat is good nothing works against everything .
but you have yourself powerful bless units in the vans
and you still have a2 and even a few lucky a3 mages in the galdermans with mitgard .

so against ryleh you can perhaps switch to orb lightnings and the like

but i still like standard vanheim more because of the dwarfen smiths

I would force the Host after Luke's brother takes his turn, and then turn him onto AI if he does not respond. (His behavior is partularly surprising given that he is playing his turns in a different MP game.)

But, hey, even with the delays, I am really enjoying the MP experience.

I say to force host after lukes brothers turn. He is doing his turns in other MP games but not this one...

Also I just found out from Klatu a problem. He forgot to put master password in but said he has no problem in force hosting each turn since he said he checks it so much anyway it isnt a big deal.

11 hours left until it hosts...only drool hasnt done the turn. Should we have Klatu force host it? The majority of us so far have seemed to what it force hosted after everyone but drool has done their turn. Should I call up Klatu and tell him to do it?
