I'd be fine with 48 hours over the weekend.  We're getting close to the point where we might need to think about moving the turn time up anyway.

I certainly can't begrudge people an extension.

I hope you all are having fun in your game. I wanted to share a link to the Dominions 3 wiki. It is pretty thorough and should help with most questions you have.

Here is the link:

Goodluck!

O guys, 48 hour during weekend, not this turn. 

Mav - i have no clue what are you waiting for - not that you have that many choices ... 

Reply #455 Top

Well I reset it when I had the chance.  Marv was likely to stale anyway.

 

Is likely to stale?  Dude if you think your position is finished you can go AI, I'm pretty sure everyone around you is already trying to get your provs anyway.

I had thought we were moving to a 48 hr turn,appears you just ran the turn now? Wonderful.......and I was using the time to explore some of those options.

Reply #457 Top

Tophat 1812, I'm confused.  its 16.19 Eastern time, (20.20GMT) and the server is still waiting for marvini... "you just ran the turn now" means? 

Reply #458 Top

No one staled.  No idea what tophat is talking about.

 

Turn timer is set to 50h, it can stay there if people want.

 

Also, Ulm is interested in acquiring boosters from the following paths, Fire, Air, Death.  Also interested in Moonvine Bracelets if anyone can forge them.  Ulm is also interested in acquiring a 'number' of blood slaves.  This number is greater than 75.

 

Ulm offers hammers for trade for any of the above items.  Even gem per gem cost, so hammers weigh in at 15, which ever side is light on gems would make up the difference.  Ulm does not care what kind of gems are used to make up the difference.

 

Blood slaves are not on an even 1:1 ratio for gems though.  Ulm will offer one hammer for 100 slaves, otherwise negotiations must be conducted.

 

The game is tightening up it seems, do not be on the outs with Ulm, otherwise our forges will wind up closed to you :)

Hey folks, I'm letting everyone in my games know that I'm going to be camping one month from now, on August 20th, for a week. If I haven't been wiped out in the next month, I'll locate a sub for the game.

Means i read on here we were looking to make it 48 hrs between turns this weekend for ghostwes. Seems that wasn't the case,so instead of doing some diplomatic reaching out i just did and sent my turn in as i am about to do now. Ergo I did not wait the 48 hr limit,so where again are you confused? I thought it was one thing(48hr turn around) everyone seems to be operating faster than that so basically so am I?

Oh,just an FYI Ghostwes it was not an easy walk in the park to take back my capital. Mr.Sauromatic is teaching me some very important lessons indeed. In the future its gonna help,right now it really sucks for me......lol..:) In several turns if Abysia doesn't clean your clock it might suck for you. Basically a paper tiger Sauromatica is not.

Ulm...........you are welcome. I might have some lovely parting gifts for you in a moment.

Did i miss where Arcoscephale was destroyed?

Reply #463 Top

yup, he is shown as AI;

regarding the length of turns: i opt for 32h or something if we are going to change; 50 is too much for now for me at least 

 

 

Reply #464 Top

32 to 48 hours is fine by me....

edit:  submitted by turn 11.30 gmt, mon.  Two hours later, llama server still has not processed turn, and shows my turn as not submitted.  No email received regarding turn submission , either.  Is server down again?  Or auto host off?

Reply #465 Top

yup, server down ... AGAIN ...

that's my first experience with the server, is that a rule? or just exception? 

 

Reply #466 Top

If you guys are using Llamaserver, it is the exception.

Yes he switched ISPs or something I believe and that is at least part of the reason why there are so many hiccups of late.

Reply #468 Top

Pardon,but I thought it was a move to 48 hr turns for this weekend only due to i believe ghostwes needing more time? Not a permanent move to 48 hr turns. Also up until now at least it has not been that long.

bpalczewski........are you saying you think i am stalling? Please correct me if i am misstating the matter. I assure you I am not stalling.

shadowtounge...... I had not been active on the forums or through private messages due to family issues and unexpected travel. I was using what I understood to be a longer turn time to make up for that. Turns out up until this server stoppage that our turns were not taking that long. My earlier msg in the thread really didn't convey this well.

Reply #469 Top

My request for 48 hours was just for the weekend, however, I don't see any reason why we can't leave it that way. If everyone completes their turn in 5 hours instead of 48, then the game proceeds just as quick regardless. This just allows for any unexpected delays that might pop up. We're all pretty quick so I'm not worried about the occasional delay. Really, the server has been holding us back more than any of the players have been...

Reply #470 Top

Tophat - nope, you are not stalling .. it was misunderstanding on my part. I was afraid you are quitting :)

Sorry.

A terrible rumor is spreading ...

Is Ulm at war with Abbysia ? Is the end of the world close at hand? 

Reply #472 Top

A trade proposition: i need an astral booster, and i offer death on for exchange. Anyone interested, please contact me through private messages.

We'll let that rumor percolate for a while.

I have finally gotten around to looking at the spells.  I note that many spells have humongous fatigue costs, like "5000."  yes, five thousand.  Whats up with-that?  Does that mean if a mage casts that spell, it is effectively fatigued for (5,000 divided by 100) 50 turns?  Appreciate help.

Reply #475 Top

Fatigue is reduced by having more spell levels than the spell requires and or by using extra gems (if it has a gem cost) to cast it.

 

Oh, and communions.

 

Once you go past 200 fatigue you start taking real HP damage though, and die :)
