MP: Giants and Dwarves [MA; CBM ; Noob friendly] [Full 12/12]

[Zywack]

Well of Suffering is all fun and games for everyone until you get piles of tartarians thrown at you because of it...

To be entirely fair, Shinuyama had a distinct lack of swamps: Some of our national magic doesn't work anywhere else. In order to make your lands less miserable, you could always give a few swamps to us! Win-win!

[Groundworm]

Zywack- I would have loved a few less swamps in my starting area. I've been struggling for gold this entire game! Besides, you seem to be pretty effectively working your way to my swamps now...

And, earcaraxe, you have a good point. It's possible that my monkeys may now be more miserable than ever. Ah, well, live and learn!

Thanks for the update. Maybe things will get a bit interesting soon.

Hi. On trying to host Giants_and_Dwarves just now, Dominions crashed. This is not a LlamaServer issue, but rather Dominions itself crashed with a "Nagot gick fel" error.

These errors are normally caused by a (generally inexplicable) problem with one of the players' 2h files. Therefore the LlamaServer moved all your 2h files away before hosting again. This is why you will receive a new turn file in which you've staled.

There are two options from here. Either you can treat the stale turn as a random event and carry on with the game, or you can roll back the turn and try to host again. If you try the latter your game admin will have to do the rollback via the admin options on the LlamaServer website, and you will all have to do your turns again. Note that in this case it is _really important_ that you actually do redo your turn, rather than just sending in the same one again (which people sometimes seem to do because they don't believe me). If you just send in the same file, hosting will simply fail again.

well, what r we gonna do? im ok with either solution

[Zywack]

Hmm... I suppose that either solution's fine for me too: The missing turn wouldn't destroy anything on my side personally. But if you guys prefer to rollback, I don't mind redoing my turn either.

I guess Legowarrior was right: Something "cool" did happen this turn!
