Correct, I did ask Gandalf to consult the previous work in deciding certain things. If the first game is used as a gauge, the secondary forts should be less powerful.

But this is the kind of input Gandalf needs so that we can correct any issues in game 3. Thanks for that input.

Dear friends,

Please take into account that I am going on trek the whole WE. So I would like to request for a delay for next turn. I will be able to play it by Sunday evening / Monday morning by GMT +5. In case that is not possible, Squirreloid is welcome to play my turn.

Thanks for understanding,

Numahr

[Septimius Severus]

Don't you fret none Ano. Children of Crom will take care of the secondary forts for you so your team can concentrate on other things! Just leave it to us.

Thanks Numahr for that notice, we are going to 40 hour turns as of turn 11, if a delay is needed by your team, they'll let me know.

In case that is not possible, Squirreloid is welcome to play my turn.

This would be the best solution, of course, if possible...

[Septimius Severus]

For game 3 recommendations:

PD (if used) should be reduced on both caps and secondary forts, secondary forts should have less PD.

Perhaps enable one or two other useful units on the BI mod (always thought Barbarians were useful). I think Horse Tribe Chiefs were disabled because Horse Tribe Cavalry was also disabled (probably need both).

I think I will likely go with 4 human teams of 3 nations each (makes it easier to place on a square random map). AI team might comprise 4 nations. Haven't decided about a merc yet.

[Septimius Severus]

24/25 hours have been added to the current turn due the request by Numahr and Captain Squirreloid having indicated a preference against other arrangements for turn submission .

Unless a captain chooses to make other arrangements (having someone else submit, etc), a delay request by a team member will stand. Quick host is still on, so if someone changes their mind, the turn can get in well before then.

Thanks.

[Numahr]

What happened? I was playing my turn, and when I finished, I connected, and then I announced me that a new turn was ready! I looked, it did not take into account half of my moves!!!!!

Not a disaster, but a annoyance...

Anyway I'm back

[Numahr]

OK I understand what happened. When I "Quit and Save", my half-finished turn is actually sent to me the servor... and if I am the last, the turn is hosted with my half-finished turn!

That is a real problem, it means we cannot play our turn in several installments, or maybe we have to turn off our internet connexion?

Really annoying.

[ano]

and if I am the last, the turn is hosted with my half-finished turn!

You were not the last, I sent a turn for C'tis when Pythium was in. Yes, this is a common problem with direct connect. To avoid it you need to download your turn and immediately disconnect. And not connect until you're finished

[Gandalf Parker]

Not impossible. Its done alot like email.
When you get your turn, disconnect from the server then reopen it as a local game.
When you want your turn sent, connect to the server.
