I've stalled a couple times, but those times either the server was down or the host's internet connection was down. If the server has gone down, could the host restart the timer? Often I only have one chance to connect per day and if I miss that window, then I get a stale.

On another note, Tien-chi has successfully brushed off the attacks from Marignon and Pangea. In the past few turns, Pangea has lost several armies as they broke upon Tien-chi's provincial defense like waves on rock. They have declared no war against us and not once have we attacked their lands. We expect their half-hearted attacks to continue to occur and continue to fail.

Marignon has given up hope and we are advancing on their lands.
