Shirley Shmirley. I want the Apprentice turns to go faster. Faster!

TheRock:

I want to force host the Shirley turn sooooooooo baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Hear that Clark? Pick up the pieces of Chick’s T’ien Ch’i empire, get in there, and fight! We’re counting on you to lift us out of the stall.

DAWN OF DOMINIONS: Sauromatia, take your turn! Only 2 hours 'til autohost…

TheRock · 2006-11-30T11:28:23.000Z

mmmmmmmmmmm…auto host…mmmmmmmmm

Nick_Walter · 2006-11-30T11:33:54.000Z

That is not a star.

Jonathan_Crane · 2006-11-30T14:53:17.000Z

Anyone know when 3.02 is going to be out? This week?

Oh, and Jason - is the new map Dawn of Dominions?

Yessir – and apparently Illwinter has even implemented underground terrain, so the subterranean provinces will look right when you fight in them.

Fantastic - did you make any changes from the map we’re using in Dawn?

Jason_Lutes · 2006-11-30T18:04:21.000Z

No changes yet. I didn’t realize Illwinter was going to get the next patch done so soon, and I haven’t had time to work on the map, so besides the aforementioned underground terrain addition, it’ll be the same map.

Rollory · 2006-11-30T19:09:42.000Z

Yeah, I should probably take back my earlier comments - with the exception of not liking Vanheim (a strong nation) in such a strong geographic position. That Helgate connection changes a lot of things.

But it needs several more play-throughs before balance changes are considered.

I’d like to get in on the next n00b game, whenever it starts.

me too please

I do appreciate your previous comments and am taking them into account; hopefully after it gets wider exposure to more players in the broader Dom3 community some consensus will arise as to the worst trouble spots.

I think you should solicit feedback from all the players when the game is over. I have some suggestions and observations that I am not going to share while this game is on because I don’t want to give my enemies any good ideas or expose any of my weaknesses (WHICH ARE NONEXISTANT I TELL YOU)

Clark · 2006-12-01T16:15:45.000Z

Is Shirley down? I haven’t been able to connect since doing the one turn after taking over from Chick. The info I have is:

216.36.113.171 port 1024

TheRock · 2006-12-01T16:54:14.000Z

It looked fine here when I last checked it…I am leaving in a few minutes and will re-boot before heading out for the weekend.

Jonathan_Crane · 2006-12-01T19:15:01.000Z

Sadly, Shirley seems down for me too. Poor old girl.

Edit: Wait - I spoke to soon - Shirley’s up and running, and still on Turn 16!

Foom · 2006-12-01T20:33:19.000Z

I think we’re at the point where people are starting to get eliminated, so there should be a new round of games soon. I’ll organize something if there’s enough demand.

CHtulhu! chtulhu! CHTulhU! Aieeehh!

Androphag:

For some reason, I’m not receiving emails that the turn has hosted anymore. Sorry I held up the current turn–I was under the assumption someone else had blocked the previous one since I’m not getting notified.

Follow-up: I did just get an email for the turn that just cycled. Must have been a one-time error. Sorry again.

Rollory · 2006-12-02T13:57:53.000Z

Lictor - Hm, another neighbor, and one that for some reason I wasn’t expecting.
