Hosting in about three hours. Maybe time for an extension for the two?

This game is unbearably slow for me as it is. Seems whatever the timer is set to, it always seems to take (timer - ~2hous) long to complete a turn. And it's been this way since turn 3.

Haha yes that tends to happen often. I'm not sure what's keeping Ulm (Probably just a busy life!) But like I know Hinnom said he'd hurt his hand pretty bad. And myself playing Arco, the amount of micro... Oh God I couldn't even imagine trying to get a turn done one handed!

I'm trying to figure out what to do about Abysia. He's a pansy and hides behind walls.



Won't let his army leave the fort to di- fight like a REAL man!

Try left-handed.

er....and being naturally right-handed.

Thanks for the compassion.

On another note, I now feel the pain of why so many people leave the game after trying their HAND at building communions lol

no pun intended, and no I didn't injure my good hand via communion building.

Although, that would make an awesome update on the Revenge of the Nerds broken arm from the chess club championship schtick.

Broken hand from playing Dominions 3.

Do you want a temporary increase of the turn pace ? Would it help?

Actually I think turns 30-40 are usually a good time to go to 48 hour cycles in general since those are usually turns I tend to catch mistakes when I double check the turns I sent in

That said, half of my games have dojango in them and are now paused while he figures out whats going on with his computer so I can probably finish these turns in 36 hours if people want to keep the current pace.

I like to equate my communions with baking. It takes a lot of time and if you **** up even ONE ingredient (Forgot even a single spell script, any of the pearls or gems, battle placement, over fatigue, timings, etc) you just wind up with one big cluster **** of "OH GOD WHY NO MY ARMY OH GOD THEY'RE ALL DEAD WHY GOD WHY"

Also, totally good with 48 hours.

As a side note: I noticed you have a crystal mage producing site, Ulm. I want that site, Ulm. I want that site.

Yea, I understand the Xtreme Baking analogy.

Its funny because before this game started, I told my friend that quit Dominions over communions constantly going off-script that I was soon to join him in 'Dom3 Exile' since I was starting my first game with an Astral/Blood nation.
