What map are you going to play at?
I sign up as Lanka.

Another question: will hosting become more rare at late stages of the game?

Map will be large random. Host will only pause on request. Other than that there will be a strict 24 hour period. The max time I will pause the game is 3 24 hour periods.

Default Re: Dominion (CLOSED) - Waiting for pretender files...

I haven't played in a non-Llamaserver game yet, so tell me if this is right: I connected to your server and apparently added my god for Mictlan. The text next to Mictlan changed from "open" to "human controlled" or whatever. Am I done until the game starts?

One more question to host: will I be able to retrieve .trn files to local computer or they are stored at server indefinitely?
Just to clear the game procedure...

Not sure how the dominions file system works, however I know it does work so I don't know why you'd need special care.

It occurs to me also that I'm used to being notified of turn advancements and deadlines by Llamaserver. How does that work in this type of game?

There won't be a notification unless it's possible to set one up with servers.

Best way to work it:

1. Connect to server. You get told what nation you have on your drive for that game.
2. Confirm nation. You are asked for password.
3. Type password. See 'Receiving turn file' message. End up at screen showing all nations, with info about deadline.
4. GET OUT. Do NOT enter map.
5. Once safely disconnected from server, choose 'Play an Existing Game'. Type your password, take your turn, revise it as many times you wish. At this point, server does not know about this.
6. Once you like your turn, connect to server again, type password, see "Uploading turn", you're done.
7. You can still connect and revise your turn, until server hosts.

By the way, each new turn overwrites old turn. If you want record of all your game, you have to save .trn and .2h files before uploading on server.

(I know my English sucks, but I'm too old to bother or let it bother me)
