Alas, although it looks like fun, I cannot run the game anymore. Launching 3 instances of the game, in order to get past the syncinfo bug, causes my graphics card to overheat. I won't chance it again.

The 'multi-windows' method is not working for me either.
Now I can connect in this way:
1). open Dominions
2). try to connect
3). if it cannot, kill it in Task Manager
4). repeat step 1
I find that if I don't close the first window, I always can't connect, it is quite strange

That leaves Pangea, Tir, Helheim and me (Yomi) as the only human players.

Are the rest of you interested in continuing?

I am Pangaea. As I posted above, unless Zach miraculously appears to fix the server, I can't play anymore, as the three window workaround almost burned up my graphics card. I can set Pan to AI if needed.

It is rather interesting to see the progress of this game. I have not played in several turns, since Zach has disappeared and the server is buggy, but I logged in just to set myself to AI (since the server is still running).

In the several turns since I have not logged in, I have lost no provinces, and lost very few troops. In fact, I found I now have over 5000 gold, fortresses under siege are ready to be stormed, and my research has gone through the roof. On top of all that, the server appears to be working normally now, with no syncinfo bug (waiting for info) in evidence.

I think I will play this again for a few turns. If anyone else wants to join me, do so. It still looks very interesting.

We can? That would be interesting for testing out some lategame strategies etc...

Hows the once-mighty-empire-of-Fomoria doing?

Looks like they are still doing pretty well. I don't think there is any way for you to get back in after you have gone AI though.
