Corwin: Yep, I'm having the same problem. It started for me about 45 minutes ago, when I clicked End Turn. Previously I was uploading my moves at about 20 minute intervals, and so long as at least one player hadn't uploaded a turn, it seemed to work ok. The last time I clicked End Turn, DryaUnda had also submitted a turn, and at that point I ran into the freeze problem. Maybe the turn was already processing at that point, even though I was connected to the server? It'll be interesting to see how much of my turn is actually executed. By interesting, I mean potentially maddening. =) My troops are going to look pretty silly if the right SCs don't show up at the right places.

Hmmm, why were you uploading your turns in 20 minutes intervals? You could just connect to the server, get your turn, disconect, make you turns taking as much time as you need, and then upload it.
(sorry if I what am saying seems obvious to you, which is probably the case, just trying to help)
And yes, you are right, it doesn't matter who is connected to the server, as soon as last player upload its turn(or timer runs out) the server will host.
DryaUnda: As for stalling, I think Admiral Zero is right, you have stalled last turn, not this one. Which is not a big deal - for example I have managed to stall one turn ago, immideatly after Mictlan launched massive attack against me. It has costed me dearly in provinces, troops and initiative in this war, which I am now trying to wrestle from him. But stalling is part of the game, even though it can be frustrating like hell (it was for me).
At least you have only lost some troops and couple of provinces, since I don't have many amphibian troops at this moment, and two of my tratarians who were attacking you went mad during your stalled turn, so I couldn't use them.

Re: New turn
Admiral Zero? Ouch. =)
You're right, typically the 20 minute upload is not necessary. In this case though, I connected to the server expecting to get a new turn, and instead it uploaded the few clicks that I had made while examining the previous turn. So then I had to do the entire turn that night, before everyone else finished, etc. etc.

Oops, sorry about your name AdmiralZhao.
I see your turn situation. Same things happened to me few games ago. Since then I always connect to the server first by clicking "enter" intead of entering password. This way I can see the status of the server - how many hours left, and who sumbitted their turns and who didn't, as well as visual indicator that either or not new turn is ready (if it is, the client shows "downloading new turn" dialog briefly, but terminates it a second later due to wrong password. And if I have made few clicks while watching the turn earlier, my uncomplete turn won't be uploaded.
Anyway, in your case it sounds like it was simple accident, I am sure you know all these little tricks. Now if only we could have the server working, I am eager to see how the first turn of global 4 fronts war went for my nation. (on few previous turns either I was stalling, or one of my opponents, or I was not in war with Fomoria yet) I have spent a lot of time on this one, I hope my opponents will feel it...

Yes, same here. I've sent PM to Velusion about 3 days ago, but he hasn't even read it yet.
Has anybody else been able to contact our host?

Re: New turn
I don't believe he is visiting the forum. I remember reading somewhere that he is taking some time off dominions. You should ask someone for his mail, but I don't know who.

Re: New turn
As far as I can see, the server is not working again.
