Default Re: Pungent Spongy Stuff

i'v tried everything i can think of. my laptop just will not open the game file, whenever i tell it to dom3 just shuts down. i've resent the turn and even downloaded my most resent .2h file so it looks like it normally would before i do a turn. still no go.

my other game works just fine, so i'm not sure what to think. maybe my compy doesn't want me to see something.

I've attached this game's map file. It's different than the one Pasha has available on his Alexandria thread, which could be the problem.

But I do think the game is ready for a permanent switch to a 72hr timer. Anyone else?

I second the 72hr motion. I have been having some turns that I rush through at the last minute.

72 hours is good. I'll also be out of action for 48 hours this weekend so a 72 hour turn means I don't have to pause the game.

Good.

Besides, I'm sure people will want to revise their turns knowing that TC's King of Elemental Earth just met a tragic & unexpected end. Who will be first to summon him back?

Yeah he was still geared up to fight Utgardian werewolfs as he strolled peacefully through the TC woods, not the swarms of Pangean dragonflies, Fairy Queen, Air Elemental, and Crystal Mage that swooped down on him from the skies.

I am glad you mentioned his passing Cleveland so somebody else can have an opportunity to bring him back to the world. We certainly miss him here in Tien Chi, but we have more effective uses for our earth gems these days.

Btw, is anyone else fighting Pangea these days or am I the only lucky one?

I'd prefer to stick to 48 hour, but I know I'll be in the minority on that one.

Default Re: Musky gooey stuff

by jove!!! it's the missing map file, thanks cleveland. works perfect now. i'd think dom3 would tell me the reason it shuts down is because it is missing the map file, but it never did; and i'd never have thought of it.

on timer, i kinda like 48 hour too. typically is enough time for me. but if anyone is needing an extra day to script inordinately huge armies or anything, i'd understand.

i'd prefer 48 hours and just asking for extensions when needed. but if cleveland needs 72 hours to summon all that pangean shrubbery, then i am more than happy to accomodate.

Fair enough, the hours of tedious micromanagement are my own stupid fault for choosing this ridiculous freespawn strategy.

Speaking of which, TC, we plan to be stopping by for supper. Kindly set the table for 1000.

-----------
But in all seriousness I'm leaving early tomorrow morning for a weekend trip. I fully expect to have internet access & to play my turns as normal, but if I'm wrong & fall off the face of the Earth, I humbly request you all consider postponing hosting until sometime Monday afternoon (US). If this is the case, I send my apologies in advance.
