Yep Ubercat, that's right. You normally expect an answer back two turns after you send your message.

No limits on diplomacy, but a general rule in dominions is that if you agree to a non-aggression pact with someone, you don't break it without the agreed warning period (people generally form, say, a 3-turn NAP which means three turns' notice must be given for the end of the NAP). In fact in general, if you agree to some well-defined thing ("I will send you a horror helm" etc), you should stick to it. It might be interesting to play a more Machiavellian game at times, but this is the convention that's grown up, and it's a nice one really.

Excellent. I played in Evernight (evernightgame.com) long before I bought Dom3, and the terminology is even similar. NAP3, etc. I wonder if that's parallel evolution? I haven't played enough Email or web based strategy games to know if the language is just universal. "SC" certainly seems unique to the Dominions series. I'm surprised it isn't just "tank."

As the Jumbos could attest, well if any had been able to escape, there are worse things than archers in the dark jungles of the world.

Caelum has begun an unjust war of agression against it's peaceful Pythium neigbors.

Soon the nobels of Pythium will be wearing hats made of the feathers of slain Caelum warriors.

Just how many Nobel winners does Pythium have? Illwinter is a Swedish company. Do you have some hidden ties with the Nobel committee through them?

Every citizen in Pythium has at least 1 Nobel Prize. And they all produce pez from their necks.

Hi guys,

I'd like to ask for a volunteer to be the 'game admin' for this game. It's not a big job at all - the admin is just the person to ask if you want to postpone a hosting because you're going away for a day, and so on. They can then do it via the website, using the admin password (which I'll give them).

I'm just asking in the interests of 'sustainable development' - so I can go on adding stuff to my server and starting new games without getting bogged down.

Why did I get a message from host that Pangaea could be cheating?

Er, don't know. Ubercat - check you've got the correct versions of the mods (download them again, perhaps).

Mod version mismatch is the most likely cause. But this message is almost always erroneous. Very few people in this community are inclined to cheat and there are a number of reasons that message might show (which I can't remember now, but there was a thread about it not that long ago).

Seriously, WTF?? I wouldn't know how to cheat even if I was inclined to be so scummy. (I'm Pangaea btw) As for the mods, I downloaded the latest versions shortly before the game began. Have they changed since we started?

Too much gold? I'm almost broke. lmao
