Oh, that's never good.

lol, I've already screwed up - three unrest events IN A ****ING ROW WTF THE **** in my capital and no SC pretender has crippled my early game. I'm actually in serious danger of dying to a dom push atm.

Perversely, the AI is more dangerous as it won't respect the NAP we had, and has a SC pretender that I can do literally nothing about.

Eh, it's not like the admin is going to set the AI to aggressive... hint, hint

Anyone any idea how to set Atlantis to AI, without the PW?

I'm afraid to say this page is a trick, since in fact there is no way to automatically set a nation to AI.
The procedure is this:

1) Ask the player playing the dying nation to set themselves to AI. Many players fail to do so simply because they don't realise they're meant to set their nations to AI when they want to stop playing. If you ask them to, there's a good chance they will.

2) If that fails, you need to either do it yourself, or ask some trusted member of the community to do it. The disadvantage of doing it yourself is that you will see the position of the dying nation and its neighbours, which is a bit dodgy. Finding someone else to do it is a hassle though. I recommend asking someone else from that game who's already been knocked out, or else someone random you've played with before. If you always ask me or Gandalf, we will go mad.

3) Having found someone to set the nation to AI, you need to get the player's turn to them. To do that, change the nation's e-mail address to that player's address, and request a turn resend from the main game page. They then need to open the turn up in Dominions, set the player to AI and e-mail the resulting 2h file back to the LlamaServer.

Phew!

I thought the master password allowed this? Just go ahead and use it... we (at least myself) trust you.

Spit his turn out to you (or me, or anyone else (The guy admining our gaming den game would be a good independant third party) and see if it has no PW.

Alternatively, use the Master password

I agree about having one of us convert him to ai. the flow is more important than making sure noone gleans any information from an AI rump state, to my knowledge.

maybe don't have R'yleh do it, but otherwise...

Super important question. If I move into a province on the same turn someone moves out of it, how do order preferences work out.

Korwin · #9 November 21st, 2010, 06:10 AM

Movement to your own provinces is before Movement into enemy provinces.
If both movements are attacks, I think those are simultan. It gets extra dicey if your armies would encounter themselves in the middle, then I think its a coint toss to determine where the battle is happening.

Aha! My first contact!

I seeeee youuuuuu R'lyeh!

...Lucky you're in the water. Don't make me come down there!
