Yep, the server is messed up. The webpage says it is on the correct turn, but is sending out turns skipping forwards a turn.

Too bad I didn't have any site searching ritual autocasters...

llamabeast · #**404** April 27th, 2008, 01:53 PM

I'm here! One second...

Right, I'm afraid we have a slight cockup - the backups of turn 41 were overwritten by those of turn 42, meaning that turn 41 is lost, and we will have to carry on from turn 42, with everyone having staled. Hopefully that won't be a big problem, it should be reasonably fair at least. Sorry for the inconvenience though.

This seems to come up when Dominions itself crashes when trying to process a turn. The LlamaServer doesn't cope very well with that happening though - for some reason it then hosts again immediately, without incrementing the turn counter, which is how it gets out of sync with the real turn number. I haven't quite worked out why it gets confused yet - I will try to look into it.

Anyway, I will get the server to resend all your turns just so you're clear which turn you're meant to be playing, and hopefully everything will be fine from here.

Thank you llamabeast.

Hmm...looks like my border with Pan produced ~ 20 extra mannikins during the stale.

Tien Chin may need to invest in some Round-Up factories.

Arg! Lost a Fever Fetish due to the stall. My commander picked a bad turn to be at 1 health.

Arg. The worst part for me was that the turn didn't stale for AI-Atlantis who seems to bear a grudge for having my stinky giants swimming in the sea....

Hm, I wonder if someone should suggest a fix to this for some future patch. An admin option that forces an AI nation to stall a turn.
