New & raw web based Dominion II game server

Success!

Using the desktop shortcut with command switches I joined no problem.

Now, why would I be able to join this way, but not the "long way," i.e., starting the game, choosing network, entering i.p. and port manually.

Great! Shall we start the game, then?

As for stating it the long way: Try using the dns name, dom2.mosehansen.dk. Just enter it where you entered you the IP number before. This is a better way in any case. It rules out a mistype...

The server is up again.

I'm very sorry, but the "Zombies" game died

No matter what I did, dominions did not want to resume --- it startet all over. My test game resumed fine :/

The server should now be up in the foreseeable future. I'll experiment a bit more with resuming games.

Sorry about this.

Okay, I will start another game soon.

What does the "upload time" option do?

Upload time: The no of minutes before the game will start automaticaly.

Specifiyng an upload time also prohobits clients from stating the game manully...

I created a Sundering game, where I'm in as Abysia. I'm not really looking for a serious game, but if one or two additional persons want to join for a few turns...

A new update is avaible:

1. You can now specify hosting times.
2. Games can now be started without VP.

Note that multiple hosting times does not work. This appears to be a shortcoming in the Dominion executable... but it is possible to select multiple hosting times on the webpage. All but the latest seems to be ignored.

PhilD : I've joined. Start whenever you think you have enough.

Anybody else: I have set up a game, real game, for real play. It will start in 24 hours, with at least one turn a day. There's 5 victory points + 1 pr. capital. I've joined as Man.
