I think every single province in the game got attaacked by it. It looks like it anyways.

I have a few provinces it missed. But some of my provinces were attacked multiple times, up to 5 times. lol.

It had so many attacks that I frequently only saw two battles in a province (when hitting 'v') but there were clearly later battles that my forces lost. I haven't played a game with Utterdark up this long... is this normal? It is definitely funny. Can someone please go kick the crap out of Shinuyama's last fortress?

I'm wondering if our turn is delayed because we are getting exponentially more attacks from Utterdark every month, and last month we had so many (almost every province, more than two attacks/province) that the game couldn't even show them all to us after the fact. So to the other games in progress, sorry if we broke llamaserver! If it's not dead this turn and is just taking some time then sorry in advance for next month!

Lol, good job Juffos, but did you have to extend your wrath to the entire llama server?

Whoa, I just got this from llamabeast:

Hi. On trying to host Abandon just now, Dominions crashed. This is not a LlamaServer issue, but rather Dominions itself crashed with a "Nagot gick fel" error.

These errors are normally caused by a (generally inexplicable) problem with one of the players' 2h files. Therefore the LlamaServer moved all your 2h files away before hosting again. This is why you will receive a new turn file in which you've staled.

There are two options from here. Either you can treat the stale turn as a random event and carry on with the game, or you can roll back the turn and try to host again. If you try the latter your game admin will have to do the rollback via the admin options on the LlamaServer website, and you will all have to do your turns again. Note that in this case it is _really important_ that you actually do redo your turn, rather than just sending in the same one again (which people sometimes seem to do because they don't believe me). If you just send in the same file, hosting will simply fail again.

I hope you manage to get the game back on course, whichever option you go for.

DAMMIT JUFFOS

I'm good with whatever Pythium, Man, and Bandar want to do. We might want to dispel Utterdark at some point since it's actually blowing up Dominions 3... the last turn that actually managed to host was pretty buggy (in terms of many battles not being seen, I'm guessing because my message buffer couldn't handle them all) and I'm guessing this one might also crash, but I guess we'll see.

It might be good to not spend a huge amount of time on a redone turn that might just crash the server again...

Rytek · #**107** July 30th, 2010, 03:20 PM

If it crashes again we should probably call the game broken and end it.

Stretch · #**108** August 13th, 2010, 02:21 PM

Can I have a 24 hour extension on this turn? I am in Alaska on business and haven't had a chance to do the turn yet. I have Dom3 on a USB stick, but won't be able to get it in before the midnight EST deadline (the time difference messed me up on the last one, sorry for the stale). Thanks!

Graeme Dice · #**109** August 13th, 2010, 02:23 PM

Done.

Graeme Dice · #**110** August 16th, 2010, 01:29 PM

Is everyone still enjoying this game? Is Shinuyama about to die so that we can get rid of Utterdark and stop the ridiculous amount of shadow attacks? Can we cooperate to dispel it?
