Well, if I'm being touted as the expert here, I'd say do the rollback.
There's two things we could try. And it may be worth doing both if problems persist.

First, simply rollback and try to rehost. We know only Ermor and Fomoria have submitted turns and no one staled, so have them and only them submit new turns. Then host and hope all the problems go away. That has the virtue of being simple.

If they don't, we can roll back again and have every one submit new turns. In this case, everyone should delete any .2h file they have and redo the turn from scratch. If there is something weird from the previous rollback causing these problems this may get rid of it.

It may be easier to go straight to that, to avoid having to do extra rollbacks. No guarantees either will work, though.

Whichever, use llamaserver to send an email to everyone telling them what you expect them to do.

I have yet to find a player to take my spot. Any suggestions?

Aren't we going already? The rollback has already happened as far as I know? Don't make this any more confusing as it already is!

I just wanted to point out that the game thinks Pangaea and Caelum may be cheating because of some unexpected increase in wealth. I am not sure what did this, but as me being Caelum I can ASSURE you all that I am NOT cheating. It must have got something to do with the rollback or something.

If some feel this game has derailed beyond repair we'll forfeit.

I've seen these messages a lot of times and don't mean you're cheating, maybe you've had a couple of very good events, for example

I don't know if this issue with the IDs is affecting your game or not, but for me has been a very bad one "event" because I've lost a very important unit and all its magical items (20-30 gems).

A mess.

Hi- i thought i would advertise here. I got a good position with sauromatia in CASUAL EA FOR BUSY SCHEDULES which is mostly a newbie game too. first in research, second in gems and territory... carving up the enemy (helheim) with big stacks and got some nice SCs coming up too...

Please check out that thread... its a SUPER fun game and the position is getting really interesting.... it would be a shame to AI.

Yesterday, I posted a request for advice on rollbacks in the multiplayer thread. What comes through most clearly is that it should be avoided at all costs. I'm not sure we have that luxury any more. One veteran player kindly gave us four options, though. Unfortunately three of those options were don't do it!

The fourth option included deleting all .2h files.

We are either going to put our heads down and bull forward hoping no future unit or item strangeness occurs, or we are rolling back. If we roll back, I think we should all delete (or move to a backup folder) all files in the davidandgoliath folder. As for Agusti's unit and items - is there any way you could unequip and get the items to your lab this turn? I know that is like changing orders, but if the unit is doomed for no good reason, maybe the items can still be saved.

Really just thinking out loud. Please, we need to hear from more players on this.

how do we get the new .trn file?

Immaculate · #**319** January 5th, 2010, 09:31 PM

Ossa is going to take over for me as Helheim in this game.
Yskonyn: are you still admin? Can you set Helheim to accept turns from an e-mail i will send you via PM (its ossa's). its one of the admin option under the game settings.

thejeff · #**320** January 5th, 2010, 09:40 PM

Xanatos: There is no new .trn file. We're still on hold. I'm not sure why.
We'll need to roll back or postpone again soon.

Grudge? Yskonyn? What's the plan?

Farewell Immaculate!
And welcome aboard, Ossa. You come at a most confusing time.
