Re: anyone have a slow machine?
You could always use CPUkill or the like.

Re: anyone have a slow machine?
I get:
AI thinking, then Horrors, Recruitment, Assasinations, (assasination and magic) battles, Movement, (lots of) resolving battles, Enchantments, Construction, Income; Insanity and Lost in Time and space toward the end, and finally creating fatherland file.
Pretty sure I missed some stages, overall it coresponds to turn resolution stages

Re: anyone have a slow machine?
I thought about CPUkill but the machine is doing alot of work. Dominions is what I do between work windows. I cant afford to slow down everything.
Turn resolution is what I want. The order. The fact that it does horrors before resolving battles will answer some questions. Just like resolving battles coming before enchantments.

Re: anyone have a slow machine?
The turn order is detailed on page 71 of the manual. I would have assumed that "Horrors" would take place in step 6: "magic battles". I wonder if the "Horrors" in the processing message has any relation at all to the "horrors" creature in the game, or if it is just a tongue-in-cheek message describing the calculations taking place.

Re: anyone have a slow machine?
"Lost in Time and Space" almost certainly includes the possible return of Void Gate summoners (lost in the void) to the world. It would not surprise me if it also included the possibility of return from the planes of Hell.

Returns from Hell... can be very interesting if they have mixed results. The commander would just appear at the capital one day and may have traveled hundreds of miles. The commanders which return from hell MIGHT have one or more of the following traits:
Stealth (+0 thru +10) = Learned by experience from hiding in hell
Undead Leadership (+10 thru +50) = Being in a hell is good training for leading undead and devils
One or more Battle Afflictions = Being in hell one is likely to pickup one or more battle afflictions
Unit is now a devil = Unit receives the devil icon and now has a tail attack
Small boost in experience = Lots someone could learn about souls, pain, and fighting while in hell
Any stats receive a random change ranging from (-5 to +3) = The results of torture and deals from devils in hell

Ahhh apparently the manual writer and I agreed on the usefulness. That looks like a good place to start, and then fill in the ones we see on the hosting screen.
I think the horrors is actually the spell/summons/effect. Johan (the programmer) isnt so much toungue-in-cheek as Kristoffer (the concept developer) is
