Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
Regarding the 2h files problem; if you are using linux or OSX, I'd check that you've got the correct permissions in the folder (I don't honestly know how far Windows has an equivalent permissions system). Also, have you tried deleting the old 2h file before you take your turn? Do you "save & quit" or "end turn" to save your game?
I haven't encountered this issue.

Status report Caelum:
As everyone can see our empire still has only a few provinces and I find it hard to set myself some priorities in getting the Empire off the ground.
My lands are surrounded by quite large bands of Independents. After having lost half of my initial army to a group of bandits I have become hesitant to attack any others, but this hampers my expansion greatly.
Furthermore Caelum is hampered by a bottleneck along the river; the only way to trek NE is to cross the bridge in my SW province.
Our soldiers are tiny. They are size three and this fact alone hampers my infantry, so I've resorted to getting War Mammoths ready. We are now looking for a good balance to setup a raiding party to squash the rebels...
Trade is pogression and we've made contact with a few other empires.
Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
Have we decided what we will be doing over thanksgiving? I would like to just ask for an extension. I know that grudgebringer also mentioned he would appreciate one (in another thread). Can we get the moderator to make a ruling on whether we will need to find subs or whether we can take a 4-day break?
I would really appreciate a break for the holiday? Or at least put the hosting on a much larger time scale and IF i can play, i will but if i cannot, i won't have to worrying about a series of stales.
Re: RUNNING: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
I think if we can get a turn in Weds (if that works) then we should just extend to Monday (give everyone a chance to get bqck in town and do the next turn).
There are too many people who have seconded and third ect wanting an extension that we need to put it in stone...soon.
