48 is good for me, I've wanted it for awhile now actually, but did not want to ask since all you folks with more to do were ripping along at 24. (It's not that the turns take long, but the timing of GMT vs PST ends up making it so that there's a very small windoe of time for me to do turns.)

48 hours is fine with me as well.

48 hours suits me fine - though its not like one of Caelum's turns takes much time at all

Okay, I will set it to 48 hours, which'll also postpone the current hosting by 24 hours.

I was attacked by that impudent adventurer Bogus and his friends. Rather than just kill them I figured I would try to charm them and get a few free thugs/items.

The only one I got was the Dark Knight who has that "attack commanders" order. Scripting this command to other units seems like an exploit and I'm assuming no one else will use this trick.

My question is, can I use this command only on the Dark Knight since the command is native to that unit? No big deal either way, I was just wondering.

I am going to be out of town from 7/11-7/18.

Dr. P has agreed to do my turns during my absence. I will brief him as well as I can on the current diplomatic situation before i depart.

Take it easy on me during my absence!

Have postponed hosting by 2 hours as I forgot to take my turn tonight, and now I'm a little tipsy!

So I will take it in the morning.

Xietor · #**178** July 8th, 2007, 07:42 PM

Valerius,

I think I read that to copy the orders and assign them to other commanders IS an exploit, as the game was designed specifically not allow player to make their units target mages.

Wish respect to a unit you charm, I am not sure. I would think you would be permitted to use the unit. But if you want a definitive answer I would ask on the main board.

Valerius · #**179** July 8th, 2007, 08:11 PM

I think I'll play it safe: if I use him in combat I'll switch his orders to attack rearmost enemies. I'm content just with the free equipment I got from charming him, though I would have liked one of the trolls as well. Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll attack again so I can add to my collection.

Aaargh! I am a moron.

I have been reading about people going away on holiday, and sorting out replacements and things, thinking somehow that it's convenient I don't have the same problem. Also I have been planning my trip to a conference next week. D'oh!

So, I will be away 11/7 - 19/7 (English style dates!). Being as both Xietor and I will be away for basically the same period, is it okay with everyone if we pause the game for this period? Sorry.

Sorry to Dr P too. I will PM him.
