I was sent a message from Arcosophale on the Last turn. He sounded like he was about to resign. Whoever is playing Arco are you still playing?

Nevermind he is still in.

Graeme, just took my turn and received a "disconnected from the network" error after clicking "End Turn"...then I restarted Dom II, logged back into the game (networking was very slow), took my other turn, and had a total lockup at the end.

All of it appears to be network related...possibly because of 2.11?

My computer can barely manage to run the server as it's quite old, and it crashes with a temp file error after each hosting. I also had to reboot my computer Last night, which could be the source of the problem as well.

Ah, I see. Well, in the next couple of turns you'll probably have one less nation for your processor to grumble over

so there's my unintended present to you.

I must say I've learned a lot, as this was (I hesitate to say "is", as it will be over for me very soon) my first multiplayer game. I know I've learned some very important things about player alliances which I don't have to deal with in single-player games.

So thanks, all, for a great learning experience! I'll be honing my skills a bit before trying multiplayer again, I think...

MP is the best way to learn. - and that's coming from someone who still has a lot to learn.

Very true, I agree. However I knew nothing about how to play Caelum well when I joined this game, and coming to the forum I learned some basic things about Caelum pretender creation, scales, and so on which would have helped tremendously in the early going. I really screwed up my pretender build and scales.

Playing with the forum-discovered tactics in SP has helped me tenfold.

And as I also mentioned (or at least implied), I thought that we were supposed to simply slug it out, like a human-controlled Version of the SP game. I found out quite quickly that I was dead wrong, and soon after just "dead".

By the way, Graeme, I just tried to log in and the game hung for me at "Waiting for game info". Is the server having problems?

The server always crashes after everyone has all of their turns in. I just have to restart it at that point.

Hey all - I will be out of town starting in a few minutes (10 am EST friday) until sometime around noon on sunday. I have played the most recent turn, but probably will slow things down a little by not playing tomorrow. Apologies to all involved - hopefully this won't be a big delay/frustration.

st.patrik, your PM message box is full, so no new one's can be sent. Make some room.
