    ... okay, since we're within the 12-hour window for the next turn to autocomplete, can I request that we move the turn timer back to, like, 72 hours for the next week (after this turn completes)? I'm back on work on Monday, 27 July, and can usually squeeze in a turn on my lunchbreak without issue, but at home with a new baby and a 3-year-old it can be a couple days before I get to sit down for an hour.

    Looks like we're down to R'Lyeh for this turn in the LA game. Who was that again?

    Also, if any of you are looking for tourist destinations, might I recommend sunny, coastal Marignon? Our wines are exquisite, the cathedrals are especially nice this time of year, and the heretic-bonfires are a good way to keep the spring chill from your old bones as you moonbathe on the silent beach, watching winged darkness flit between the stars, yearning for your lost youth. We also have many fine cheeses.

    That's me. Turn (presumably?) sent in and good to go.

    edit: I see now I was remiss in not having an interesting name.

    Ugh apparently I missed a turn in there somewhere and I have no idea how it happened. I thought I was staying on top of this pretty well. Just sent in the turn I'd been working on and it was stale. Oh well, I got proper turns sent in and hopefully I'm back on track with this.

    I will try to get the current turn in tonight, in the MA game. If the next turn's timer could be set to Monday the 3rd, that would be awesome.

    Next turn. Current turn is due Sunday, which is fine. Next turn would be due Monday the 3rd, if that's still alright.

    Is there a way to retrieve a pretender from the llamaserver? I'm on a different computer for the moment, and even with a savegame folder and the turn dropped in it tells me "no game has been created." I assume the pretender is the only thing I'm missing.

    Nevermind, figured it out. I had a space in the game name, and it doesn't like that kind of thing.

    I'm also beginning to figure out what I'm doing. Your doom is upon you!

    It... should have? It was supposed to turn over tomorrow for the MA game right? Hmm yeah I even did my turn, wasn't thinking about it. But yeah, I turned the turn rollover time so it should have waited until Monday. Last time I checked it it said the next turn would occur on Monday.

    I can roll the turn back from the admin screen though if everyone is cool with that.

    It's fine, these things happen. The damage wasn't too significant, I think, surprisingly.

    Yeah again sorry about that, I'll try to be more on the ball next time someone needs me to postpone something. I might just suspend the turn next time instead of relying on expanding the turn timer.

    We have been suddenly and deliberately attacked by the Empire of Ulm! Because I'm so nice and we just want to give everyone good dreams I won't immediately respond. Hang out and get comfy.

    And my pretender god just got back! A little the worse for wear, but hey, beggars can't be choosers.

    I assume that the LA game has been startede since the OP was last updated on July 9th :)

    Got the game in the summer sale after having it on my wishlist since last year when an old school chum talked up the Dominions series.

    Started my first game earlier in the week and with my EA Helheim. Then started a EA C'tis game yesterday, but can't seem ro get how they play.

    Is there some resource about the get-to spells for the different schools of magic in the research categories?

    Also an overview of the races units and where they can be buildt would be nice.

    Anyway, might join some pbe if everyone is still up for playing when the current games end. :)

    To get research points on the research page, you need to set your mage commanders to research. The amount of points they contribute to research can be seen on their stats screen and is represented by the number next to the stack of books (7/11/13 are common values)

    Also to look at all the units and recruit locations for different factions, use the unit tab on the Mod Inspector

    Those are just tourists. They were moving through to have cultural exchange with your very enthusiastic thinkers to the south. Speaking of which, we'd like to ask you to tone down the volume on your stereo systems slightly, please. We have a lot of retirement age people just looking for a quiet place to kick back and watch the stars die.

    As your impoliteness continues, we consider our options. We would be glad to stop pushing our glossy holiday pamphlets under your doors if you would agree to allow us to retake our grotto and dismantle the broadcasting apparatus you have constructed there. With that proviso, the rest of your proposal would be agreeable: certainly we should both be focusing our efforts on making our kingdoms as attractive to foreign investment as Ulm and C'tis.

    Public Service Announcement to any and all people dwelling near beaches:

    The recent tourist waves from Marignon have brought with them many requests for the leasing of seaside property and beaches.

    The Supremely Benevolent Government of Ulm saw fit to cancel the lease on an Ulmian beach shortly after it was enacted, as the tourists from Marignon began several forest fires, highly unsanitary geriatric orgies in public view, cooking of noxious food and leaving trash everywhere (most of which cannot be identified). The poop pits dug into the beach itself notwithstanding.

    Be careful in granting lease to travel agencies based in Marignon, lest your natural environment be equally polluted by these highly inconsiderate travellers.
