Just waiting on Cheezeninja.

I was hoping to crank through a few of our opening turns this weekend <sigh>. Well, some of us just never stop dreaming.

If we didn't have to wait for him, you would have had to wait for me, as I was out all of today (Saturday), I just barely had time to play the first turn at around 7.30 pm, so. Thing is, I'm less available on weekends than on weekdays, the result of being unemployed (though that will hopefully change in the near future).

Me too - only in my case I am hoping that will change in the more distant future

oh shart, be wary of long hours, they dull the mind and then cause you to upload pretenders and forget to confess, which causes you to look at your mose welcome screen and think "huh, i dont have any turns that need doing, that new game must not have started yet." because of course, mosehansen's wonderful server doesn't know your in the game because you never bothered to tell it because you were tired because you were working too much. I blame capitalism and our consumer society, and myself for joining the military....sorry for taking so long.

no worries - just happy you didn't stale - it's turn 2 and we're off with everyone on board!

Waiting on Breschau.

on weekdays i'll be logging on to run my turn(s) between 6 and 7pm (uk time, i forget if we're gmt just now).. but I'll sometimes be able to log on around 7am too.

Sorry to harass - I'm just used to the idea that the first 10-20 turns go relatively quickly. But that's an ideal to aspire to, not a requirement.

Looks like the pace has been picking up quite a bit. Goddamn #$!£& indie crossbowmen just killed my best commander (one of the two in the hall of fame) who was about to become my prophet as soon as I could spare a turn...

Its ok you arent the only one with problems , my main army was crushed almost to the Last man by barbarians on turn 10... how embarrassing.

I'm out. To avoid giving anything away at such an early stage - somebody rushed me which I was not expecting, so I got stomped. With maybe 4 provinces (no capital) and no troops and my attackers still as strong as when they attacked it seemed pointless to keep going, so I turned AI for the mop-up.
