Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM

I think something is wrong, Chase sent me a 2h file, but it is still showing him as stale.

[Twan]

I think we should redo the turn with new orders for him if possible (don't know if the game can be re-hosted if you have not kept your trn, at least you should have all trn 28 you sent to other players and orders perhaps it can work using another player turn and the master password). As Cainehill seem to be attacked by a Pythium boosted by its AI statuts it's too bad if he stales without reason in addition.

Once a turn gets hosted, the master file, ftherInd is updated, the latest version overwriting the previous one. A game will not run without this file.

Unless a backup copy of ftherInd is saved in another folder before hosting, I don't think a turn can be rehosted, even if all the other previous .trn files are available.

Some likely causes of a "stale" move even when a player sends a .2h file in time can be:

1) That player forgot to exit the game before attaching the .2h and sending it.

2) That player inadvertantly attached a .2h for that nation from a different game's folder in which that nation is also being played.

3) The host received a valid .2h file, but copied it into the wrong folder.

4) The host received a valid .2h file, but during the file transfer, the existing .2h was not replaced by the new one.

I have yet to receive my turn. I sent my last turn out 11/20 at 7:38pm and have not received a turn back since then.

The last turn we got was turn 29. I got my last turn on 20/11/06 and have already done my orders for turn 30 and sent them to upstreamedge/Adam.

I hope all this does not delay the game too much.

[Cainehill]

Edit : Just got turn 30.

Greetings One and All,

The kingdom of Man stopped today, for news that we have been waiting for as arrived, the physical representation of our god has returned to us...Crystalmist is back.

A week long holiday as been called and there has been much rejoicing with in the kingdom of Man.

It is only fitting that on the same month Crystalmist returned to us, all presence of Dreamslayer (who grieviously slayed Crystalmist in combat) has been utterly removed.

Let this be an abject lesson in what happens to those who try to harm Crystalmist...

Prophet Tywin Lannister,
Man, Tower of Avalon.

Ooh,
A pretender vs. pretender battle. Can we have any details about that fight?

P.S. Thanks for hosting the game upstream. You've been doing a great job so far.

I did have screenshots. But it happened turn 15'ish or earlier so I deleted them some time ago. Enough to say Dreamslayer won because he equiped his pretender with a magic sword and buffed him up with spells. Dreamslayer then died a turn later causes unknown? Dreamslayer turned up a few turns ago at is former Agarthian capital (now mine ), my army made mincemeat of him in a 2 rounds of combat. Now he is dead forever.
