Hey, looks like Babby Collector now has the highest amount of kills in the HoF. It's only a matter of time now until he gets the top spot.

[Karlito]

So, apparently if a commander dies while assaulting a fort the blood slaves he was carrying become units instead of reverting to gems. That's just fantastic. 

[Boksi]

That's not fantastic. That's hilarious

And "congratulations" on being the first to put up a global enchantment, Karlito.

[Shadowgandor]

Which enchantment was it? Yes I'm kinda following this ^^

[Karlito]

The Looming Hell. Kinda useless since my half my territory is still under Ulm's dominion, and not that great to start with, but hey, it's cheap.

EDIT: Oh and look, it got a sneaking Ulmish ranger captain.

[Karlito]

Bump for major development

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[Boksi]

I'm currently posting with an iPad because the battery charger for my laptop is dead. Typing properly on this thing is a bit of a pain, but it's doable.

Anyway, seeing as I can't exactly play Dominions on an iPad, I'd like to request an extension, since I'm not sure I can get a new charger this evening, but should hopefully have one tomorrow.

[Karlito]

For anyone else following this thread, you might want to know that Shrapnel Games is having a spring sale event and Dominions 3 is a whopping 6 dollars off. That still makes it stupidly expensive in the world of Steam sales, but this is the best it gets.

[Boksi]

Oh. Looks like the deadline has come and gone and I didn't manage to send in a turn. Is it possible to roll back a turn, or am I just gonna have to deal with it?

[Il Palazzo]

I can see R'lyeh already sent his new turn in which means he'd have to fiddle a bit with his saves.
Is your playing that turn crucial to you, Boksi?

Also, sorry for missing your extension request - I'm kinda less on the net these days than I used to. Will try to improve, promise.

[Boksi]

Well, I can survive losing a turn. It's rather troublesome, though, since it sets my plans back a whole turn and means some of my important mages(Dagmar Önnur, Germanbro, Flit Asuno and Dead Guy Sr) aren't doing anything. Worst of all, it means a turn where I'm not recruiting a nagarishi or nagini and those are crucial to me.

How much fiddling are we talking about here, anyway? Just deleting the .2h and .sav file for the current turn?

[Il Palazzo]

I appologise, it was just easier to ask you whether you could pass this one. I'll do the rollback now.

Here's what you lot ought to do: Nothing.
Only Boksi needs to send his missing turn, those of the rest of you are already there.

Had anybody loaded the 47th turn (Robespierre's Ryleh most certainly), they should make sure to delete the .2h and .trn files that had been generated previously and then process the new turn, to avoid mixing up old and new .2h files.

Once again: Robespierre - make sure you do your turn again, with the new .trn file, and send the new .2h file to the llamaserver.


Failing to do so might result in units and commanders dissapearing and being created out of thin air and other bad stuff.

[Karlito]

So, just to confirm, I got turn 46 in an email that said the turn was rolled back, but I don't have to redo and submit my orders? Even though the llamaserver has me (and everyone else currently) marked as "waiting for 2h file"?

[Boksi]

Okay, I sent the .2h file. Multiple times, in fact. Each time it's been rejected as having the wrong turn file. The server seems to think it's turn 47, but when I asked for a resend it gave me the .trn file for 46, and when I tried sending a .2h file after having used that .trn file, it rejected that one too. Something is going a bit wrong here, methinks.

[Il Palazzo]

Yes, it seems fucked up. Even the stalling graphs show different turn number than the main page on llamaserver. I've postponed the turn for now, so that we can find a resolution to this problem. There are a few possibilities:

1) let it host without Boksi's turn
 -pros: might be the easiest and the quickest
 -cons: defeats the purpose of the whole rollback and might remain fucked up(i.e.the game might send you all turn 47 files and demand turn 48)

2) rollback again and hope it'll do it properly this time
 -pros: we can do it without outside help
 -cons: there's many ways this could end up worse than it is

3) contact llama
 -pros: the most certain way of fixing the problem
 -cons: I dislike the idea of buggering the man, also might take some time

4) embark on a quest to the shrapnelforums for similar situations and possible solutions
 -pros: might help
 -cons: might not help. Also requires time and willing manpower.

Another possiblility, that I'd like the most to be true, is that Boksi had the files mixed up, somehow. Just make triple and quadruple sure that you're sending the right .2h file. People make mistakes and it'd solve the issue so nicely.

Eh, another reason not to do them rollbacks.

So, just to confirm, I got turn 46 in an email that said the turn was rolled back, but I don't have to redo and submit my orders? Even though the llamaserver has me (and everyone else currently) marked as "waiting for 2h file"?

That's right. Under normal rollback circumstances at least. Read more about rollbacks here:
