You seem to have send me last turns turn instead of the new one Hadrian. It says it's turn 24 when I log in, but then I get the traditional 'you have already played this turn message', I get a short glimpse of my messages (last turns messages), and then the game crashes. (the nagot gick fell thingie)

No i did send the new turn (it is impossible to send the old turn, as the new turn overwrites the old while processing). I will resend you the turn in the naive hope that it will work, but it sounds like a new addition to the bug thread.

Amhazair, try out a new game folder and copy only the .trn file in this folder and start this.

I feel so stupid... I must have been very tired last night, cause I never once thought to try what 'redo turn from the start' would have as effect.... that worked fine.

I still think weird things went on, but hey, at least I can play again.

I owe all of you my apologies. I was planning to get back home earlier today and play my turn, but there are several foreign visitors staying here at my sisters place for my wedding, and we've been having such tremendous fun (at the wedding, before the wedding and after the wedding) that I just had to stay a bit longer. (Especially this Swiss girl that's staying here has me quite intrested )I'll be getting home tomorrow evening instead. (wich would be within 24 hours)

Hey everyone,

I was just considering hosting a new PBEM on Hadrian's altered Faerun map. His changes look sensible, and I've played a number of turns SP, and it still looks good, but before I take the plunge I wanted to ask the experts.

So, is Faerun a reasonable map for MP?

So far i could say its fun to play on it. A litte bit too huge maybe. You should try to play with a max set of players.

The starting provinces seems to be a little random. There are players set very next to in very desertlike areas. There should be a center of players around the big farm provinces in western faerun and fewer players in the eastern part which is really wild and population poor.

I found some bugs on the map but don't know who is responsible for it:

for example northern thay (land 307), some good features in this province and very well defended. You need dozens of troops to conquer it. The 4 features should worth all the work.
But because someone forgot to set a #killfeatures before the feature list, the better half of the features don't exist and the province isn't worth all the troops needed to conquer it.

-- Northern Thay
#land 307
#nostart 307
#lab
#feature "Catacombs"
#feature "Graveyard of the Damned"
#feature "Marble Mausoleum"
#feature "Halls of the Dead"
#commander "Lich"
#comname "Szass Tam"
#clearmagic

I'd say that some of the victory point provinces are too well guarded. You can't take them without crippling yourself in the process.

How is the game going for everyone?

This turn, the brave archers and mages of T'ien Ch'i delivered a stinging defeat to R'lyeh, slaying dozens of illithids in the process. Meanwhile, Shinuyama is taking a long time to die, being attacked by Ulm, Machaka AND Mictlan, with the blood-worshippers currently sieging the goblin capital.
