Re: MP questions
Many of the MP games have two settings for hosting (others are possible but these two are common)
QUICKHOST meaning that the game will automatically host whenever everyone turns in a turn.
HOURS 24 meaning that it will host every 24 hours even if people have not turned in a turn.
Many games run both of these. That way they can process 3 or 4 turns in one day if everyone is paying attention (usually at the beginning of the game), but the game wont be held up if someone suddenly doesnt send a turn for 2 or 3 days. In many of the multiplayer games, missing more than 2 turns will get you switched to an AI player which sucks as a player but is better than the nation doing nothing at all.
If you miss the time limit for uploading a turn, and the game processes a turn without your file, then when you download your next turn there will be a message in your box saying "Stale Turn". Thats also something to keep an eye out for in case you think you DID send in a turn but for some reason the host didnt get it or couldnt process it. Its an answer for questions that pop up here such as "Why didnt my army move?"
