I second that opinion. Though it seems to me that, with the exception of Mictlan, the turn are still coming in at a reasonable pace

Yeah, it's hard to maintain an interest when it is so slow. I'd be either for setting it to fixed schedule (48hrs?) or abandoning it...

I'm happy to keep plugging away. But given that my current situation is not so good, I'm not going to shed any tears if the game is ended.

Welp, I don't know what's happened, but as of turn 55, my empire has disappeared. All my units are gone, I got lots of battles with bad VCR headers, a few provinces seem to be under the control of R'lyeh and the game seems entirely fubared. Did this happen to anyone else?

Don't know. I can't get through to the server

Ahhh... I thought you'd say it was C'tis fault

I can't even connect to the game, so I don't know what's happening

Crap. It looks like there was a collision between the two games I'm running on this computer. I had a similar thing happen in a different game that I was playing in a long time ago. The games are probably not recoverable, and I apologize for not having a recent backup.

Hmm. Well I guess that's it then?

I guess it is.

Had the game gone on, I think it would have been C'tis'. I think we could have an interesting discussion over the relative usefulness of late game Death gems vs. all others.

I for one think Tartarian Gate should simply be removed from the game. [Dons flame-proof suit]. In a game about Pretenders, being able to chain-summon Pretender-class units just doesn't make much sense.

I think I agree here too death gems are good There's no hoarding method to get them though. So their usefullness is somewhat balanced by difficulty of obtaining them. And Well of Misery didn't have to stay that long. Can you say wonders of C'tis diplomacy?

Tartarian Gate or Gift of Reason? Non-commander tartarians are not that dangerous. In another game I played, which lasted into the late game, Tartarians were the weapon of choice for everybody. Funny thing was a Wish-wars for The Chalice
