As i did not see any objections to this request i will posphone hosting by 48 hours on thursday. (What should have the effect that hosting will occur on monday)

You could also just move to a 48 hour timer on Thursday. I can probably get in a turn somewhere this weekend so that would work. If you just delay the turn and I get a turn in, I'll be burning myself because the turn clock will drop back to 24 hours.

My fiancee will have some friends staying with us till next Thursday, and she might frown on me taking turns every day anyhow. Maybe the 48 hour timer would be better overall. What do people think?

48h turns on turn 30 are common, so i dont think that lots of people will object

From what I understand, that will work perfectly, giving 72 hours, with one caveat. Even with hosting postponed, if everyone's turn is in, the quickhost server will well, host, and get set back to the regular time. Just something to keep in mind. If, however, his turn doesn't go in, it won't host until the entire period is over.

There are several solutions
1). If you get a new turn in your email, simply go back and postpone again. This is the simplest, probably best option. I recommend this one, since it means warhammer sent in his turn, and you should only need to go back once.
2). Set turn intervals to 72 hours or even more. Then, when you're ready to resume a regular schedule, change the interval back to normal and add postpone hosting by a negative number (since reducing hosting interval leaves current turn time intact, until everyone gets their turns in at least once).
3). Postpone by so many hours, and turn off quickhosting.

EDIT: Sorrys. Busy, this post was written over the course of at least an hour. Its' out of date.

Just a heads up. I'm getting married on Friday and our families start flying in on Thursday night. Would it be possible to get the game delayed for a few days, say starting Thursday morning till at least Monday?

I wouldn't mind a change over to a 48 hour schedule.

With a marriage going on, however, I suggest a 72 hour quickhost setup, at the very minimum. If you find the time, we can continue playing the next turn. On top of that, you don't have to worry as much if the preparations keep you exhausted and your fiancee - soon to be wife - keeps you up ALL night after the wedding...

Of course, if you got her hooked on Dominions 3...
Just so long as you're not getting married in World of Warcraft.

A 48 or perhaps 72 hour schedule sounds good to me. We can go back to 30 later in the week if everyone wants to.

No, i'll just go to your capitol, defeat you there and win the game. You dont need to chase me.

p.s. i set the turn timer to 50h

I continually manage to underestimate Abysia. But at least I don't risk to much while I test these things - I did want my prophet killed off, for a particular reason. Too bad I have to wait before I can appoint another.

So... mindless undead chaff - nah. At least not in these quantities. Decay? Even with whatever mr modifier it has, it didn't take root even once out of three castings. Shadow Bolt - cast only once, didn't do noteworthy damage, but the paralysis is better than absolutely nothing.

Light Infantry- useless against the infantry, but effective enough versus salamander. My Ctissians don't have the penetration (spears?) to penetrate a dual level nine fire-earth bless. The reinvigoration of four makes unending chaff considerably less effective...
My Elite Warriors do have above average strength and tridents. Still less than the total protection I'm facing.

Well, Lord Ivan knocked off a Banelord. Sending his items back your way, Agartha.

Fear my mighty army of Claymen and Fall Bears! They will EAT you! Muahaha! (don't ask)

Time for some good natured trash talking. I will careful exclude coverage of my own mistakes.

Wow, that's an interesting new tactic for Abysia, Janlm. I've never seen someone trade one Demonbred and a Medallion of Vengeance for seven independent militia before. By all means, keep it up.

(Translation: And this is why I no longer regret luck spawning swarms of seemingly useless militia. Free Demonbred protection. Not perfect coverage, but 40 of them patrolling will just about cancel out the stealth bonus and leave an equal discovery roll)
