Capybara - restarted

Er, could well be I guess.

I've finally found what I think will be a permanent and reliable solution for the website. It'll take a day or two to come into effect unfortunately, then everything should be nice and smooth again.

No, Just ignore the Hyrda behind the curtain.

If you send a message to another player, he sees it in his opening messages at the beginning of the turn, correct? I sent a message to someone two turns ago and haven't recieved a reply. I'm wondering if he somehow missed the message, or is simply rejecting my offer in the easiest way.

There's been no limits placed on diplomacy in this game, right? (other than there only being one winner in the end)

Yep Ubercat, that's right. You normally expect an answer back two turns after you send your message.

No limits on diplomacy, but a general rule in dominions is that if you agree to a non-aggression pact with someone, you don't break it without the agreed warning period (people generally form, say, a 3-turn NAP which means three turns' notice must be given for the end of the NAP). In fact in general, if you agree to some well-defined thing ("I will send you a horror helm" etc), you should stick to it. It might be interesting to play a more Machiavellian game at times, but this is the convention that's grown up, and it's a nice one really.

Excellent. I played in Evernight (evernightgame.com) long before I bought Dom3, and the terminology is even similar. NAP3, etc. I wonder if that's parallel evolution? I haven't played enough Email or web based strategy games to know if the language is just universal. "SC" certainly seems unique to the Dominions series. I'm surprised it isn't just "tank."

As the Jumbos could attest, well if any had been able to escape, there are worse things than archers in the dark jungles of the world.

Caelum has begun an unjust war of agression against it's peaceful Pythium neigbors.

Soon the nobels of Pythium will be wearing hats made of the feathers of slain Caelum warriors.
