I don't think there's a need for a penalty and you two have handled the discussion well so I don't think there will be hard feelings.

I should probably note here that I have apoligised to mockingbird privately for allowing my frustration to get the better of me.

While we are at war in the game, I don't harbour any ill feelings towards him.

It's difficult to get attacked and be on the losing side, or to be forced/manipulating into starting a war you know you can't win, and handle that situation gracefully. Having been there numerous times, I'm quite familiar with it. That being said, the important thing to remember is that even when you're getting completely stomped and are well on your way to losing, there is probably a lesson or two you can learn to play a better game next time.

And, as has been said, congratulations to everyone for handling some dicey diplomatic situations well.

I'm glad to hear that! BTW, I didn't intend my comments to MartinTrouman and Sephorin to be in any way critical of you and mockingbird.

Groundworm is quite right that it isn't always easy to handle things gracefully. The further the game goes, and the more time people have put into it, the more difficult it can become when everything falls apart. But the situation with MartinTrouman and Sephorin was particularly worrisome since it had the potential to go beyond diplomatic disagreements to charges of unfair play.

I agree completely!

I have an issue with running a pbem game on a Mac (OSX). I've created the folder in my HOMEDIR/users/dominions3/saves. Everything (Game, latest patch, mods) are installed and working, and I have no problem creating and playing a single player game. Yet when I place the .trn file in the specific save directory i get a crash to desktop immediately after attempting to load the save. Any ideas? It is probably something extremely simple.

Note: I had been playing dominions3 off my PC at home with no problems, but I am at my parents house for a few days and thus the Mac. Ye gods, why only one button on the mouse!?

Edit: Fixed it, was a map directory issue. False alarm folks!

Okay, sounds good. Thanks, Valerius.

By the way, does anyone wish to trade me earth or death gems for my pile of water gems, at the moment they are being used as paperweights...

Hi,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be on international travel Oct 2-11. I expect to have excellent internet access and plan to continue to submit my turns as usual. However, there is always the possibility of complications, so I wanted to let you all know in advance just in case.

Best regards,
Mockingbird
