I don't know what caused to 5:1 ratio. Maybe the hungry sharks gather at the smell of blood or maybe its your name that promotes such fear that players prioritize as a quality target. In any case, usually RAND games eliminate at least the second factor.

I need a smth. like 24h pause to complete my turn. Hope, nobody objects...

Upd: It suddenly appeared that I didn't need that delay really so everything was in time.

Game will be paused for 6 hours due to request to Kuritza from Bandal Log.

Default Qwerty, Ctis-Man Request

Hi Guys,

Cor2, my teammate as Man, has sent it me a message that he'll no longer be able to take his turns

This leaves two possible options:
A. Pause the game until I manage to find a sub.
B. Although it will take double time from me I'm willing to sub for my teammate and assume responsibility over Man.

I personally think option B is better since it will not delay the game and since it will save me tons of time trying to get the sub (if at all found) up to speed on the the game, our team strategy and all those little details that can make the difference for us.

What do you think?

No problem, actually. It will be harder for you to play but easier to win . But we'll fight .

I'm not that sure. Cor2 managed Man very well (IMHO) and brought his perspective and inputs that I think helped us a lot. I guess some aspects of the change will work in my favor while others not.

Anyway, it seems like B option is decided.

ano, can you please make the change that I get Man's turns?- Also can you please give me 24h extension to this turn?

As for our war, I strongly protest your troops and mages stomping poor lizard stock and you pretender which really scares the common folk

Do you know that you need 2 instances with 2 keys of dom3 to play 2 nation in a MP game? Otherwise you end up with one nation denying all orders!

Thanks for the warning.

Are you absolutely sure about this?- Isn't Vanheim+R'lyeh currently played by the same player?

In any case, I do have two dominions CDs (I bought the 2nd one just to support IW), so if required I can use them. Just to make sure, is the procedure for playing the turns as follows:
1. Install 2nd instance of dominions on same PC (as first one).
2. Play first nation's turns using first instance and second nation's using second instance.

Well at least it was a problem some time ago. I'm not sure a later patch changed something.
