Re: The Battle of the Baltics
 

I think that the best option would be to use LPU (Last player upload), so when the Last player uploads his/her turn, the new turn is generated automatically but not before.

Also all the game settings must be listed somewhere (racial points, mods, starting resources, etc.) before we can make the empires.

Btw. one more suggestion: Scores are only visible to allied palyers. Then it is more exciting when you don't know if your opponent is stronger and it makes intel more important.

Re: The Battle of the Baltics
 

Karibu, you are correct again - score will be visible only of allies. I told you what happened in our game against USA with ALPU turning. Somebody leaves the game and it just freezes. I agree we can try ALPU in this game but with the condition that turn duration is no longer than 3 days. 3 days is because sometimes people leave for the weekend without internet connection.

Re: The Battle of the Baltics
 

So far we have Executer, Pablo, BBegemott and Admirolas from Lithuania.

Who is the Last player ?

BTW:
Pablo, Could you please rename the thread to something more suitable http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: The Battle of the Baltics
 

done

Re: The Battle of the Baltics
 

Okay, time for the Finns to join. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: The Battle of the Baltics
 

I joined the game and the game shows gray (as it should) in my list when I go to PBW, but I can't see my race in "pending join" -state in the game player listing. I hope it is there...

Re: The Battle of the Baltics
 

Don't worry. I see Karibu pending join.

Re: The Battle of the Baltics
 

Okay. I see it now too. Perhaps it took some time from the server. Usually I notice it directly after joining the game.

Re: The Battle of the Baltics
 

Still missing 3 Finns.

I will go skiing in the weekend so you better hurry if you want this started before then. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

The map is almost ready. Just a few tests to run.
