Grrr.... someone is dropping plagues on my capital. I'd planned to wait before going on land, but this changes the situation greatly.

Hey, not long before host, and no one has taken turn. Are we all engaged in crazy diplomacy?

Lets just declare an East/West war, and fight it out :-)

Default Timer restarted

No problem, I just restarted the timer. If you want to make sure that I notice things like this, you should send me a PM or email aswell the next time, that has a greater chance to catch my attention.

I think stopping timer for weekend is nice in general. Just as long there is regular schedule during weekdays.

Default Re: Timer restarted

Question to all players, but especially host:

Do we allow use of shortlisted bug "Cast battlefield enchantment and retreat mage"? This makes enchantment last until all troops are gone. Some combinations of enchantment are unbeatable.

I am asking because it was just used on me in other game, which I am quitting. I would like to know exact interpretation of rules in this game.

Two scenarios:

1. Two units on field. One has "Staff of Storms", casts "Wrathful Skies", and retreats. Other stays and fight.

2. Two units on field. One casts "Mist of Deception" and retreats. Other has "Staff of Storms", casts "Wrathful Skies", and retreats.

Do we allow either? My preference is:

"No" on 1, "No" on 2.

Anyone else has problems with the server?
When I try to get the turn, the game is freezing at the "waiting for game info" window.

Default Re: Timer restarted

This is a problem that has popped up before in several network games.

You can try playing windowed instead of full screen. Start the game and connect, and get stuck on "Getting game info".

Do not close the window!

Start another instance of the game in a new window. This new instance of the game should connect okay.
