The C'tis wish it to be known that the treacherousss warriors of Mictlan have begun to assail one of our fortressessss. The swamps churn in anger, and soon the waterways will run with their festering blood. This is the fate that befalls those who attack the C'tis. Take heed, for the C'tis desire only to be left alone in their swampssss.

Umm, I guess we'll find out when the next turn hosts. Come on Machaka and Arco! The suspense is killing me!

Thank you, I'll be here all week.

Looks like Arco is about to stale. J Henry are you around anywhere?

Having trouble connecting to game server, today and yesterday... ...locked up my box, stuck on the "Connecting to game server" after proceeding past hostname and port panels. Did submit a turn Last night after it reported I had a stale turn...

This has been happening to me for the Last three turns as well. Unfortunately, it isn't the first time, and I doubt it is the Last. This is just something that happens to some players on Mose's server.

What I do is bring the Task Managet up, and kill the Dominion II application as soon as I see I am not getting through. Then I try again. And again. Usually the third or fourth time does it. Whatever you do, do not assume that the server is down. Keep trying or you will stall.

By the way, I think that, at least once, I had to try more than fifteen times...

Will try tonight again but I needed to get to work and was unable to ctrl-tab out (on Mac OS X) to kill and try again.

That's strange. The only time I had a similar problem, all of my Internet access was affected. Reinstalling my Winsock fixed the problem, but I'm not sure what the root cause was. Regardless, the game should timeout after 60 seconds or so.

I've had it hang - but only rarely. And as Yvelina, I was able to kill it w/ task manager.

The vale echoed with the cold ring of metal and the strange curses of ancient and giant tounges. The animals quivered and hid in fear as the two mighty champions met in mortal combat, it ended with a mighty bellow and one champion spilled his life into the churned and muddy soil.

One of my Jarl squads moved into the same indep province as the Allfather, two of my Jarls ran off and the third stuck around to trade blows for quite awhile... he lost, but it was a good fight and the Allfather definetly had a few more wounds to lick. Good Fight, and no hard feelings on my part.
