I agree with Euchre. If we AI / replace Il Pazz, it will kind of 'invalidate' the result of the game, considering that as of this time I'd say he's the most likely to win it. Even if he's not, he's definitely a big player.

You could also win (you have equal forecasts in the poll). More importantly there will be other games. This one isn't any sort of championship- it's just a friendly game.

Cheers for the confidence, although I doubt it.

It's because it's a friendly game that I don't want to replace him. You are right, there will be other games. You can even make another one now if you like. But I'm enjoying the way this one is going and feel replacing Paz wouldn't be as fun, as well as it being a little cheeky after the fact that he pretty much set all these up.

His kind invitation is the reason I'm here.  Dunno if that means I want to thank him or see him defeated.   

I'm not saying that we can't replace Il Palazzo ever, I'm just saying that I currently prefer to wait.  He said he needed about a month, and I'm willing to give that to him.  If he's not back by January, or indicates that he won't be able to continue, then I'd be ok with replacing him.

Besides, I prefer a slower pace.  I've got a lot going on myself.

Games need to carefully patch.
The new Dominions 3 patch 3.28 is out. Since there is presently no publisher selling the game, you need to go to www.Illwinter.com directly to get it. Soon hopefully the game and patches will become available on Desura, possibly GamersGate and Steam.

FYI Illwinters other game Conquest of Elysium 3 also has recently released a patch

[Il Palazzo]

Christmas is coming and I've got a turn for you.

If you're ok with waiting another week plus minus a few days, I should be back and ready to rock.

[Karlito]

Abysia, Atlantis, Gath, and Utgard should hurry up and send in their turns then.

[Bluerobin]

Whoa, I sent in a turn? Apparently I did. Probably because I knew I was going to forget, just like I did.

[Karlito]

So, three of you missed the turn. I thought the deadline was later and would have extended it out, sorry.

[Korbac]

If three of them missed it, rollback? :/

I hope you didn't miss your turn Karlito.

[a1s]

Rollback is a pain in regular circumstances, but over a version change it's basically a death sentence for the game.

[Karlito]

I hope you didn't miss your turn Karlito.

It was Gath, Utgard and Atlantis. Actually, first looking at the turn I thought for a minute that you might have staled, since that big ol' army of yours hadn't moved.

And yeah, rollbacks seem to have a reputation for breaking things. I'd at least like the three players in question to weigh in before we consider anything like that. We've probably got a few weeks until Palazzo is able to submit his next turn.

[Korbac]

"That" big old army?

Dear Karlito, you're speaking as if I've only got one.

Even if I lose now I know I've bothered you more than in the previous game.

[Karlito]

Yeah, you're doing alright for yourself, though I'm beginning to move beyond the "hordes of manikin supported by animal-infantry" tactic. We'll see how well you do against the evil brewing in my capital.

[EuchreJack]

Did Abyssia stall?  If so, than I'm perfectly happy with continuing without rollback.

If Abyssia did not stall, prepare for an angry rant.

[Karlito]

It was Gath, Utgard and Atlantis.

Bracing for rant.

[EuchreJack]

It was Gath, Utgard and Atlantis.

Bracing for rant.

Insert rant here

Doesn't matter, since I'm going to say to go along with the game without the rollback.  Sure I'm pissed, really pissed, but what am I going to do?  Sacrifice the game because I feel wronged?  Nah, I really didn't have much to lose anyways.

Patch is needed before the turn, got it.

Since Abyssia got a free turn to pummel on me, would it be unfair of me to demand three turns of peace between me and Abyssia since I'm not demanding a rollback? 
One turn to make up for the lost turn, and one turn because I won't be engaging in offensive action (a favor that Abyssia failed to pay me), and one turn because unlike Abyssia I had no warning or say?

Utgard and Atlantis might also wish some sort of peace with their aggressors before agreeing to continue without a rollback (or they might prefer a bribe and continued warfare, they can't be as bad off as me [although I note that Atlantis has been losing ground badly over the past few turns]).  And since we make up a third of the players, it isn't unreasonable.

[Korbac]

Kind of wondering what's happening with the game at the moment - do we need the new patch before sending our next turn in?
