Re: Game talk
 

Ok, i have played my first and second turns. Sorry all for the delay, between the little lapse to fill the vacant slots and a nightmarish week at work i totally forgot to check the forum http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif

I have answered the PMs and expect to follow the game without further problems. My excuses again for the delay.

Re: Game talk
 

Err... I just checked my turn, would there be any reason why I don't have any positive scales in my capital, but just the negative ones??

I'm pretty sure I sent the right pretender, I just double checked my sent attachment. Is there an event or a special site which neutralises positive scales?

Re: Game talk
 

There's something called the "scales bug", which I heared about, this seems to be exactly what's being reported usually.

Re: Game talk
 

Well, I learned an important lesson. You have to load this game through the Network option, not the Load Saved Game option. It will let you correct your turn through load saved game, but the server won't actually get it. That could have been a disaster for me, but thankfully it turned out to be no big deal.

Re: Game talk
 

Well - thats an annoying bug to say the least. Bye bye 200 pretender points???

Re: Game talk
 

It's temporary. Your scales will return to your chosen values over time. As if your dominion had just taken over a province.

Not crippling, but it can really hurt the early game.

I'll just pretend that my capital has just been hit by plague then http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Gogogo get your turns in!

Re: Game talk
 

If you make changes through "Load saved game" you do them offline. That is actually a good way to play the game for people who pay per minute for their internet connection: Grab the turn first when you connect to the server, then disconnect and prepare it offline through "Load saved game". When you are done with the preparations, connect to the server again to upload your turn, which is done automatically for you.

In the Network screen, what's the bracket symbol beneath certain nations mean? "Connected" perhaps?
