I'd like to suggest that rollbacks be reserved for really critical things like for instance a server hiccup causing the turn to host early with half the nations not having turns submitted. Rollbacks have caused problems in every game I've been in when they were used. It's extremely frustrating to have a battle you "won" turn out differently, and double plus extremely frustrating when your neighbor does something differently than the first time after having seen the result of a battle. I think they're particularly frustrating in this game where people are writing storylines. I've seen a lot of bad blood created from rollbacks, with accusations of cheating, people quitting the game in a huff etc., probably best to just suck it up and accept a stale here or there when real life causes you to miss a turn.

Good points, Baalz. We've already run over that turn so I'm guessing I can't undo the rollback? But rest assured I won't be arranging any more in the future simply because I missed a turn.

Helheim has made demands, and Marverni has answered.

Give the wiki a look sometime.

For your benefit, here's the short version.

Go to Hel.

If I forget to chronicle turn 7 tomorrow, remind me. I don't have time now, unfortunately.

Also, the game is getting interesting! I've met (through Inutho, my poor conscripted scout) a new nation, who you'll only learn about should you pester me into writing a story.
