This has been happening to me for the Last three turns as well. Unfortunately, it isn't the first time, and I doubt it is the Last. This is just something that happens to some players on Mose's server.

What I do is bring the Task Managet up, and kill the Dominion II application as soon as I see I am not getting through. Then I try again. And again. Usually the third or fourth time does it. Whatever you do, do not assume that the server is down. Keep trying or you will stall.

By the way, I think that, at least once, I had to try more than fifteen times...

Will try tonight again but I needed to get to work and was unable to ctrl-tab out (on Mac OS X) to kill and try again.

That's strange. The only time I had a similar problem, all of my Internet access was affected. Reinstalling my Winsock fixed the problem, but I'm not sure what the root cause was. Regardless, the game should timeout after 60 seconds or so.

I've had it hang - but only rarely. And as Yvelina, I was able to kill it w/ task manager.

The vale echoed with the cold ring of metal and the strange curses of ancient and giant tounges. The animals quivered and hid in fear as the two mighty champions met in mortal combat, it ended with a mighty bellow and one champion spilled his life into the churned and muddy soil.

One of my Jarl squads moved into the same indep province as the Allfather, two of my Jarls ran off and the third stuck around to trade blows for quite awhile... he lost, but it was a good fight and the Allfather definetly had a few more wounds to lick. Good Fight, and no hard feelings on my part.

I am glad you are not angry. I should have scouted before I attacked that province. I did not expect that you would invade it as well. But it could have been much, much worse. I am glad that the allfather took these two wounds, and not for example feeblemind or disease

And now, guess who is looking for Nature gems and Gift of Health :-) A lost cause, I know. I have more of a chance to summon a Fairy Queen or something.

But yeah. Vanheim is looking for nature gems. I will trade equal quantities of Fire, Air, or Earth gems.

Well... This war between Abysia and me certainly is interesting. About this time Pythium's armies are rolling up Abysia's rear provinces, and while i've lost a few provinces i've smashed an army of Devil's and 1 of Abysian infantry. Good fun!
