Hope we are ok for a delay till sunday. Can't return till Sun night.

Regarding Lanka - Lankas weakness is its province defence - raid the hell out of him .. and keep him off balance till you can research demon killing spells and items.

Lanka in my view is the second strongest nation EA, played correctly.

*shrug* Most any nation, played correctly can be pretty scary. I don't think Lanka is really any scarier than any of the other uber sacreds running around EA. Vans, jaguar warriors, and Niefls the strategy is pretty much no different....grab your ankles if you can't manage to dance around and stall them long enough to get critical research done.

Van-types (other than Helheim) have capital-only sacred, which makes huge difference. Same with Niefel. Jaguar warriors are great, but they die easily. The scary thing about Lanka is that they have non-capital tough-like-nails sacred troops that are incredibly difficult to kill (with a proper bless), especially for the race such as Sauromatia, which has no priests and no direct battle magic.

just me, or is something up with the server? I'm hanging on "waiting for game info."

Open an instance, let it hang up, then open a new instance of Dominions. The second one should connect. The bug happens every once is a while when games have numerous players.

Yes, it is happening with me as well. In addition to this I often can't switch from hanged up version of dominion, no can I close it. (Alt-tab, ctrl-alt-del are not working).

After several hard reboots I came up with workaround, kindof - I open Dominion in windowed mode, let it hang, then I can at least switch to non-frozen version of Dominion.

But this is pretty annoying. Is this bug likely to happen every turn for the rest of the game? Any idea why does it seems to affect only some players?
