[Septimius Severus]

Thanks Gandalf, that is what I thought it showed.

Numahr, the direct connect system has a built in internal countdown timer, that is displayed when you connect to the game and that tells you how long you have left till hosting. We will be at 32 hour turns till we hit turn 10. The turn may host earlier if all turns get in before the 32 hours is up. This is likely to be the case with these first few turns. I currently show us at turn 3 with 29 hours to go till forced/fixed hosting of the next turn. Again, the turn will host sooner if everyone gets their turns in before that.

At this early stage, I recommend, especially, if you feel you are in a situation where you may need the full amount of time (but you don't necessarily need a special delay) that players when they first connect for a new turn (you'll see the message 'receiving turn file') that you do not hit 'End Turn' until you are sure you are finished with the current turn. Instead, you can save your work and come back to it later by hitting 'quit and save' from the options menu. The only thing to remember is when your ready to come back and finish it, select your game from the 'play existing game' menu (don't go to the connect menu first) and then connect only when your actually finished with the turn. You can also hit 'quit without saving' if you only have time to glance at your turn.

Generally it is best to have quickhost/fasthost on in the very early turns, but if people want it shut off (so you get the full 32 or whatever) every time, just let me know and I will ask Gandalf about it.
