There's also a province with Inkpot End on our mutual border, which would make things even worse if you have to go through that as well...

I proclaim that the heretics of Arcoscephale must be dealt with. Oceania has taken upon themself, this burdensome task.

Oceania has the blessing of the only one true god, so it would be a insult to give in to Arcoscephales demands. No deals are to be made with the heretics, unless they drop thier claims.

Any support in this war will be welcomed. Surly anyone can see the gains from bringing me gold. The cripplement of Arcoscephale and the undying friendship of Göran, and his Oceanian pawns.

Dr Praetorious can not upload my latest turn, keep getting 'this may take some time', I am the last to upload, so as soon as I upload everyone can do another turn.

Have been trying for past 5 hrs, will continue to try throughout the day.

Default A strange turn

I was starting to give my orders online. Then friends have come, so I've clicked "save game and quit" to continue later. A screen when you click on "save game and quit" when you are connected say that the moves won't be uploaded untill you reconnect. "Cool, if my orders are not uploaded, the game shouldn't be quickhosted before I finish them" I thought.

Anyway 3 hours later I finish my orders offline, connect to the server... and realise that the turn has been hosted with only my first orders (0 recruitment, only 3 or 4 moves, without the suicide of Göran on my immobile troops it would have been a bad turn).

So hum... I don't know... Was it a bug ? Was the turn force hosted ? Have I misunderstood or made a mistake (an accidental reconnexion don't know how) ?

PS : anyway the turn was finally fun, the fight against Göran was a great moment, imagine a paralyzed pretender attacked by 30 or so hoplites and heart companions + an high province defense horde, and my men not succeeding to kill him before the 50 rounds limit... because all my troopers surrounding him were blind due to his eye shield.

Ah, okay, here's the issue - it doesn't send the turn when you "quit and save", HOWEVER - if you later reconnect, it will *immediately* send your current turn file. Which, if you're the last person, will trigger a quickhost.....

Oh, also, meglobob - did you ever connect? I haven't been having any issues connecting to myself, for whatever that is worth....

Yes, kept trying and connected eventually. It was strange could connect to the port 11112 game fine but not the port 11111. Just tried connecting a hour ago, could not get to either but I expect later I will be able too fine. I will just treat it as a quirk.

So long as you never force host it, I should be okay, I think and not miss a turn.
