Yep, it was, all is ok...

My answer is arriving kind of late since I see the first turn already hosted, but for future reference I'll mention that the llamaserver always sets a 48 hour hosting time for the first turn. This gives time to resolve any problems players may be having (or deal with Caelian interlopers ).

Nice to get the game going
I ran into an early though choice:

Brigands in my capital province (unerst 35 tax 50). Do I patrol with the newly produced army... or send it off for conquest?

Ended off opting for the 2nd option - but I'm still unsure.

[Valerius]

Those events are always tough but I think you made the right choice - have to keep expanding. Since unrest hits both gold and available resources you may want to factor that into which province you choose to take next. If your dominion has spread to an indie province you'll have info on its gold/resources, if not you can go with tendencies such as mountains = resources, farmlands = gold.

Ah the joys of Turmoil. Also with CBM I believe that Luck/Misfortune each add 7% random event chance per level instead of 5%; there would be a +36% chance with full Luck/Misfortune + Turmoil.

I wonder how long we can keep up this amazing speed of 3 turns a day

[Sephorin]

Has it really been three turns/day? Pretty darn quick group we are. But don't worry, I'm sure one of us will stale soon.

[attackdrone]

I might take a while this turn, as I'm waiting for diplomacy to conclude before processing my turn. It'll be done by the deadline though!

Edit: That wasn't long at all!

[mockingbird]

Sorry for the delay, I'm just waiting on some diplomacy.

[Nightfall]

I wouldn't actually call anything you've said to me diplomacy, and I outright reject your ultimatim, I choose 3, if you want to attack, and we both know you will, your the agressor.

By the way, for those of you that haven't noticed, Pythium will probably take another 4 provinces in the next 2 turn, several of which are currently mine, and at the same time wall off another ten for himself.

When that happens he will effectively control 32 provinces and close to a third of the entire income in the game...

But I'm sure all that combined with the lying and bullying that he calls diplomacy, is just good strategy, unfortunately it's a crap introduction to MP Domionions, and this newbie is not feeling any friendliness in this game.
