Really sorry about this but I have gone on holiday and I believed I would have internet access so that I could continue the game and diplomacy. But although I have Dominions and a PC I have no internet access. I won't be back for about another 5 days. Please can the game admin turn me to AI (you will need to change my email address and take my turn - turning it to AI - to do this I think.

I am very sorry about this. I thought I would have internet access (I have before when going on holiday in the same area but the cottage I has gets no signal at all nor do the nearby villages).

Can't you just stale 1 turn and we give you an extension?

I hate to see you turn AI for only a 5 day delay.

Its ok with me if we give him the delay for 5 days.

[Nikelaos]

too late now i think, already gone ai.

mind you i have no idea wether or not you can assign someone to a nation which is currently ai so don't listen to me.

OK, I guess I DON'T understand (and Yes, my army was MUCH bigger than I said) HOW to get to the Nodes.

I actually looked for a way and checked to see if there was an "Enter Node" button, but there wasn't.

I am off to a fair start but this I feel like I am falling more and more behind as there are now 3 'Nodes' occupied and whatever benifits they give and I am just wandering around in the dark.

I am normally one to fight it out to the bitter end, but I really DON'T understand this map. That coupled with being a somewhat 'New' and (sigh) 'Poor' player makes for a very long frustrating game.

Everyone else seems to understand the map so maybe its just me, but I need to get a 'Quick' understanding of the why's and How's or I am also going to join the ranks of the missing (as much as I hate too).

Well I don't know what you don't understand.

There are movement arrows (which I assume you've turned on, press '8' or '9' to activate them, the other does province names) and you can see how everything is connected.

Go to a node by right clicking on it and you'll see all the places it leads to. Move your armies as you would to any other province, really they are no different, they are just located on the edge of the map. The nodes are not the be all end all for the game though, while they do provide extra gems they also make you potentially a bigger target.

Start a new game on the map with indies set to 1 and just cruise some armies around to get a feel for what's where and what and all that, shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes to understand what the nodes are and how they connect to things.

[GrudgeBringer]

LOL....NO, I didn't know about turning on 8 or 9 (Sigh)

[licker]

Heh, well hopefully now it all makes sense

[Nikelaos]

atlantis has TOO MANY air gems, we have nearly 30 air gems and seriously need to get rid of them, selling cheap.

[GrudgeBringer]

Yes it Does make sense now and I wish I was smart enough to have figured it out sooner....However, everything in its own time.

Thanks for helping!!!

[Nikelaos]

does noone want air gems?
