The nation of Ice and Bone is withdrawing from all non-agression pacts. We are not declaring war, but this is the three turn warning included in our signed agreements. Renewal of peace treaties can be discussed via in-game messaging. I am interested in renewing peace agreements with some of you, though I hope not to make it immediately obvious who I will attack. Especially since it's not obvious to me, yet.

How's Maringnon and Tien'chi, by the way? I'm looking for someone to wage war with, and am wondering whether to avoid your conflict, aid you, or assault you wholesale. Pangaea's behind on research, but ahead on aggression, it seems.

What's in my best interest? It's looking a little unlikely that I'll get a sub, so I'm starting to develop some strategic goal.

Would you mind switching the game over to a 30 hour quickhost? It'd be a lot easier for me to manage.

I would just like to say that I'm not opposed to 30 hour quickhost. I don't particularly need the extra time (whoo, summer break!), but if it makes someones life easier, I'm all for it.

I've stalled a couple times, but those times either the server was down or the host's internet connection was down. If the server has gone down, could the host restart the timer? Often I only have one chance to connect per day and if I miss that window, then I get a stale.

On another note, Tien-chi has successfully brushed off the attacks from Marignon and Pangea. In the past few turns, Pangea has lost several armies as they broke upon Tien-chi's provincial defense like waves on rock. They have declared no war against us and not once have we attacked their lands. We expect their half-hearted attacks to continue to occur and continue to fail.

Marignon has given up hope and we are advancing on their lands.

Sigh. Pangaea hasn't declared war against us, either. But they've invaded us as well. And I think I know why. It looks like my plans may be waylaid a bit, but hopefully that may be all.

tibbs · #85 July 17th, 2007, 06:12 PM

Yeah, I think we killed their pretender when we both simultaneously attacked a neutral province. He must still be holding a grudge about that. Though, I don't know why he would start another war when he isn't really making progress in his war against me.

I guess we'll have to take care of them after we finish up Marignon.

I am all for making the game run every 36 or 48 hours. In all honesty, I am
struggling not to stall, and have taken turns with 15mn to spare. At work, I have
lost a person from my VERY small IT department, and I go home very late... it would
help if I did not have to religiously get on-line and send some pacifist orders.
I think that today I may be up for some very simple orders again.

In any case, thanks to Pangaea for at least not attacking _me_

Of course, that may have to do with us not having much of a border.

Another raiding party, it seems Pangaea is serious.

Sigh... 30 units? Certainly I don't have much PD, but I can easily outproduce that. The problem is I have too much exposed territory. I'll have to decide carefully what to do, or I'll burn myself out chasing after raiding parties. It's not like there's only one way into my territory, and the amount of PD I'd need to spread around...

Certainly fortifying the site thats producing them, they are.
They're spawning out enough to overwhelm light pd, but at least they can't put any PD or castles up underwater. Actually... maybe they can, now that I think about it. Though I think a Living Castle is a bit unlikely, all things considered.

EDIT:

A little note for the hoster, Cooron. Your status page is quite handy, I'm exceedingly grateful for it. I will mention one small flaw I just noticed.

At this moment, it shows my turn (31) as completed. In reality, all I did was connect, download, look at my turn, then quit without saving.

If I reconnect, the in-game interface shows my turn as untaken.

Thanks again for the info webpage, I've found it handy.

I couldn't connect to the server about 8 am this morning.

Lazy_Perfectionist · #89 July 18th, 2007, 04:12 PM

Did you try 85.77.57.219?
I haven't had any trouble connecting since I set up a shortcut with that instead of dominions3.dy.fi

tibbs · #90 July 18th, 2007, 04:27 PM

I am already using the IP in my shortcut. I was able to get home for lunch to do my turn.
