Any chance that one of your teammates could cover a turn or two for you tho? After all the delays starting, I'd hate to only get two turns in and then stall again. Early turns are so short, anyway.

I could play for darloth, unless you think you can swing it. Your call darloth.

Oh, I was wondering about all the sequential delays. I had hoped to do my turn tonite.

I can empathize about the computer problems though. I know I have had my share of them.

[darloth]

Apologies all, I've checked and I have a fairly good idea where my CD key is, but it's not where I am at the moment. Looks like no dominions for me for the next two weeks or so until I can get it back again.

Sorry again, but I can't play in the meantime. I'll keep watching the thread and update you if anything changes.

[Giant Moth]

That's alright, I have stolen your turns. Well, as soon as I get it emailed to me

Fix your IM so you can tell me what to at least.

darloth: If you can even get access to your laptop files (through some recovery mode or boot disk or something, depending on how disastrously it's died), there's a file called "key" in the dominions3 folder which contains your CD key.

[darloth]

Thankyou for the advice, and I do know of it, but unfortunately I can't get it to boot at all. Harddrive is fine as far as I know so I'm considering getting a separate enclosure for it and reading it that way but it won't be instant, and I can't seem to get it to boot into safe mode or dos or anything - damn vista

PROBLEM!

Dominions 3 snarled angrily at me for playing Darloths turn, and thus cancelled all my orders as Jomon, saying there was a cd-key violation.

So he did nothing for his last turn =/

It said that he was using the same cd key as another player(that is, me, since I sent it in), thus we need to find a substitute for Darloth that is not in the game.

Not good news for the noob team, at a crucial early stage, something I feared might happen, but not a fatal blow either.

Either that or wait till Darloth can get back up and in the game.

I had anticipated this, that was the purpose of having alternates. We need more for both teams.

I know that it is possible for one player to play more than one nation in a game. Seen it happen several times as teammates cover for each other just like this. I talked it over with some people and they said that you must play both turns from the same computer. What dom3 doesnt like is if you play one turn on one machine, and then another turn (in the same game) from another computer. That makes it think that you've illegally shared your key w/ someone else.

Hopefully that addresses your problem.

On a different note, is it just me or are the independants unusually strong in this game?
