Crap missed my edit window.
Added note: realized I can have the chk.cgi grab the turn lines from the scores.html
Now the chk cgi also shows a turn count. the last turn turned in I believe

i thought we where at 40 hours per turn now? I just finished my turn and went to upload and recived a new turn straight away and most of my moves had not been done.

Nataraja was meant to be more a generic representative of warlike Hindu deity. I think that Underworld realm should include a rarely-seen Dracolich among its Pretenders... and it looks like I staled with my turn!

It looks like exactly the same problem Numahr has a few posts ago. You should not upload your semi-done turn to the server until it is finished.
You need to
1) connect and download your turn
2) disconnect
3) go to local games
4) play your turn
5) upload

And do not connect to server until you finished your turn as you don't want your half-done turn uploaded. This is what happened to you now most likely

OK. I am sad for my team I first suicide on a 120+ pd wall in a secondary fortress then stale a turn. Appologizing to my team captain. The most sad part is the turn must have gone exactly when i was about to upload because it was at 40hours when i recived it (when i was about to upload the turn 12)

Thought I already included the Dracolich/Bog Mummy in the underword realm. Instead of attempting to distribute the unmodified 3 four armed divinities among each realm, I could use modified versions of the rather generic Nataraja instead. Each with appropriate magic. The heavenly one having Awe, Astral, Air, maybe a lightning weapon/mind blast and/or the apotropaic weapons of the Deva, the earthly one having Earth, Nature, and maybe an appropriate earth effect, and the underworld one having fire, death, and fear and maybe a plague weapon or something appropriate.

Yes, it may be just the thing. I wouldn't add fancy special abilities, though, as they would be hell to balance against cost. Adding appropriate paths may be enough.

... you do realize you're talking about a game that generally uses Vanilla rules. There is no balance to start with...

Im also not sure theme-wise.
But as the programmer Im happy to see Man there. Man, and Marignon, both follow the standard AI "thinking process" fairly well and can be expanded well. In this game when I view the turn files of the AI's Im mostly happy with how Man and Eriu are working with the expansions, and less happy with how Caelum and TienChi are seeming to ignore most of it. Oh well, lessons learned. LA Ermor and LA Rlyeh will have to be experimented with abit

The AI is absolutely terrible using LA Ermor. Can you forbid them from spending gold on anything but forts and temples? Because otherwise they're going to do stupid stuff. (Ie, to make the AI any good for LA E, you basically have to use the NI mod).
