Turn 36

Another free troop event. Great, another 60 militia I have to give money and devote commanders to.

Not much too report for the rest.

Turn 37

Not much interesting too report. I gamble a bit.

I notice some of my units got diseased, most likely caused by a hidden disease causing site.

Or maybe they have been having unprotected sex. Those Pangaean goatmen are notoriously horny. You may have to forge some Condoms.

Is going AI(im leaving on sunday) any differeint in PBEM games then in normal games?

[sushiboat]

Going AI should be the same. Do it and send in your turn.

By the way, it would be great if someone would give us newbies constructive criticism of how we played the game and ideas for what we might do differently in the future. The time when a player leaves the game would be a good opportunity to tell him/her privately.

[Alneyan]

Not a bad idea; I can speak a bit about the strategy myself, but my ability to screw around in tactics is legendary (I sometimes leave the AI to do the tactics on its own, and the worst part is that it does a better job than me).

And yes, going AI is instantaneous. All your other orders for the turn will be overriden however, so don't go AI right now if you still have things to do.
