Ossa, first of all, congratulations, I hope your child is well and everything is OK. Now, while I certainly can understand difficulties Ossa having now (I have 3 children myself and one of them is less than 6 months), I cannot understand his position of joining games for which he obviously won't have enough time. In fact, having 3-month old was one of the reason I had to skip this game, as I know that it's hard to find time for good turns in such situation.

Changed reminders to 12h (again). Seems they were reset during restart.

Also, one of the players asked if it's possible to change hosting schedule to 26 h to prevent hosting time creep. If noone objects during next 24h, I'm going to do it.

Ouch. Well, I'm first to bow out. I liked the previous start better

.

It's one of the hazards of taking a dormant God as a nation like Aby. Sometimes someone punches you in the face. My defensive play was not perfect but I don't think it would have made any difference. Perhaps a more thorough AAR will follow the game.

You are all still doomed.

Heh, maybe one of these days I'll actually organise a game in which you get the opportunity to play a significant part.

Thanks for playing Dr.P

One brief comment for future - you really can't restart a game like this around turn 7, because, from the previous game's expansion graphs, you know who is pursuing what strategy, at least to some extent!

In my case, I seriously doubt it made any difference, it was purely bad luck on my part - the plan of him-what-killed-me was clear, he was going to kill whoever was next to him, regardless of who they were. So I highly doubt it made any difference here - but in a more borderline situation, it might've.

DrP, I'm not sure which course is better - switching to AI on turn 7 or restarting. Both create problems.
