I sent the .2h files to everyone. I think i fixed it now. Sorry, bad things happen before I've had my coffee.

Had some problems with the internet last night. So i gave up and watched the Superbowl.

Anyway.
Turn 7 out.

Cor, perhaps you could send an email to all of us with the nation names, so know each other's email addresses? Then we can do some diplomacy more easily.

Or do you guys think we should only communicate through in-game messages?

I think that is a swell idea. will do.

So wierd, I'm playing my first big game SP - Faerun small (specials are cool, never get the items though http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif). 14 opponents, playing EA Sauro.

Just maxed research, all 9's, almost everything searched, leading in almost every categoy (cept forts)... and haven't been in a war yet. Even though I have wild hunt killing their priests. Then I come back to this game, do a turn and feel really, really weak http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Random Q: what do you guys do with all your researchers when you're done? I've got like 30 of em being pretty useless, more than half horror marked from lanterns. I'm pretty unclear about the upkeep of this game, so is it worth just killing them off? Or just send 20 mages in casting the 20 ancestor spell http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Coolest thing is I had an eater of the dead get charmed by a big indy earth mother... i had a gift of kurgi on him, so he was the toughest thing i've had to beat yet.

Anyway, turns in http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Good news is that all the turns are in. Bad news is that everytime I try to end my turn it says something like "CRN: cannot open file" (I am not sure exactly what it says because i left that scrap of paper at home.) Anyway I will work on the problem. If its a problem only with my player then i may just turn myself AI or something...

The problem seemed to start when i transferred game files between an xp computer and the host, running 98se.( told you I was still in the stone ages.)

All this to say hosting will be delayed. very sorry. It has become clear to me that I need a more stable system. I am looking into both Vista and Ubuntu. And a reliable internet connection, not dial up.

I found a temp work around. Turn 8 out!

Turn 9 is out.

Things should start to become interesting, we are coming into contact now.

How are things going in the sea?

Dedas didnt even say thank you for the get-well-card and the 2 firegems. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

turn 9 sent.
very curious how things are going to work out.. :-)
so much more fun already then playing against AI!

I'm off to bed! I will only have a chance to play the next turn before I go to work Thursday (8:00h GMT+1), otherwise it'll be Friday afternoon somewhere..
