New Dawn - EA Dawn of Dominions

All right, who summoned all the Air Queens (and who dispelled my innocent gem global)? Man, I have crummy luck with AQs in MP...

Vanheim has two hours left to do his turn. Since I didn't hear any request for a timer extension, I'm not going to reset it.

Vanheim here. Something odd's going on - I did turn 54 two days ago and since then haven't been prompted to a new turn? I'm not getting any message about difficulty connecting, but I'm not getting the screen with the flags showing who has played their turn either.

What turn are we supposed to be on now?

Hi, good to see you. We are on turn 56 now, turn 55 has hosted about 10 hours ago. I don't know why you didn't receive the turn notification since I added you to it and I didn't receive any errors either. Hotmail has started blocking my mails, but no such thing from GMail. Could you check your spam folder, if you have one, and whitelist the sending address if possible?

Your connection troubles are strange, too, I have no troubles and I didn't hear about anything like that. Make sure that you got the 3.10 patch installed and use port 7373 on the server.

Hi Ich,

Problem identified I think - I'm not uploading my turns properly (I had imagined this would happen automatically).

What's the procedure?

[lch]

When you connect to the server, you see your nation. You can then do your turn online, or quit and prepare it offline (it shows up among your other games from single player). When you are finished with preparing your turn offline, you connect to the server again - before it hosts, of course. Your client will then upload the turn that you prepared offline to the server and you see that your flags shows you played the turn.

Thanks for the instructions. I've just uploaded and been told tht my client has uploaded the most recent turn - so Vanheim's back in the game
