Re: New game for new/newish players (recruiting)
Yeah, now I _think_ that the terrain type of your capital doesn't matter. I hope I'm right there. So I deliberately put it in the wasteland I think. If you have got unusually low income or resources - sorry Ubercat!

I've seen better, but it's not too bad.

Re: New game for new/newish players (recruiting)
We could go many many turns in a game like this before we make contact with another player.

Re: New game for new/newish players (recruiting)
Quickhost means that the game will process as soon as all the turns are in, right? So if, for instance, all eight of us were sitting at our computers all day playing the game, we could get alot of turns done in one day, right?

Yeah, right, you could even finish the whole game in one day. And then hell freezes over.

Re: New game for new/newish players (recruiting)
It appears that Xanatos may be a no show. I sent him a PM a while ago and no response yet. He hasn't posted anywhere in the forum since his one post in this thread which was three days ago.

Re: New game for new/newish players (recruiting)
jotunheim is the only nation that has not played, and that has been the case for the last day or so.
i think we need to think about finding a replacement for jotunheim.

Re: New game for new/newish players (recruiting)
I know he was having some technical difficulties (apparently the dominions directories are somehow a bit strange on Vista, which makes PBEM difficult to work out how to do), but I haven't heard from him in a while. I've just e-mailed him again.

He is in the dominions channel almost daily. I'll tell him to check back on this thread when I see him.

Re: New game for new/newish players (recruiting)
The least he could do is let us know what is going on. It's very rude to keep seven other people hanging without a word. We could be on turn three by now, or even higher.
Does he even have a legal copy of the game? That might explain why he couldn't get his pretender loaded until I gave him explicit directions. He sat there for about two days until I said something. We'd probably still be waiting for it.
