PBW Question?

[Kana]

When the game is set on Automatic turns...and you don't turn in a turn...what exactly happens? Does the AI/Ministers take over and basically wreak everything you have already had plans for...?

I believe this has happened to me, and I want to make sure...I had to go out of town for 3 days, I tried to fill up all my queues with builds and moves and such...alas...this doesn't seem to have worked as planned...Does getting attacked change all that? Since I was attacked...I'm thinking that may have triggered something...

Thanks again,

Kana

Yes, the AI takes over for that turn.

You can avoid the AI doing anything by:

1) Open Empire Status window. Crown icon.
2) Click on Ministers.
3) Scroll to bottom and enable "AI Should Not Make Changes in Simultaneous Move Games" or whatever it is called.

It is good practice to do this on turn 1 of every PBW game.

Thanks...I thought I had already did something like that...I'll look for it...

Man, your entire Empire can get turned upside down when you don't turn in a a turn for 3 turns...I didn't know which end was up...and I think my ministers caused me to go to war with another empire....it was not what I had in mind for those turns...ah..now to fix it...
