There's probably just a huge backlog it's working through all at once. (And 404's has arrived now as well)

[Delta Foxtrot]

As admin of 408, I may force the turn hosting tomorrow, if most other games don't move (after all, the quickturn doesn't launch a turn if the last player sent his turn while it was off) or/and if there is no message about that from llamabeast

Not that it's relevant anymore, but I wouldn't advise that in case this happens again. There's a possibility that the server will process its backlog, process the turn and then process your force host, causing a stale for everyone. While some people don't have a problem with everyone staling, I think it's a bit unfair as people with more gold/gem income get a bit of an edge over their poorer fellows. And then there's of course people who use autorecruit and people who don't further imbalancing the equation.

Llamaserver is down again.

Per Llamabeast it's finally getting transferred to commercial hosting this week, so I'm assuming that's why this latest llama-down situation has occurred.

This came up in one of the MP threads, reposting here:

Hi - since there isn't a general dominions4 bay12 thread, I thought I'd post this in one of the newer game threads.  What is this?  Read on:


I created a brief survey to evaluate the size and interactions between different dominions communities.  I've compiled a list of 17 distinct communities from various sources and interactions. There are three levels of activity: Play games with, post to, and lurk (and none, if you want to count not responding) I would appreciate it if people post this to different communities (e.g., SA) of their own initiative, as I don't have accounts or a presence on the majority of the communities I have listed.

Dominions is 30% off on Steam right now: http://store.steampowered.com/app/259060/

With about 95 responses, Bay12 appears to be around the third largest place for dominions 4 multiplayer

How many other places did you actually post this?

4chan at least.
Probably Desura as well.

Seems weird.
I'd say that it's "not that big" but players here are more susceptible to fill out a survey (especially that quickly)...
(and here is the Bay12 elitist feel again :-° )

[Delta Foxtrot]

If it hasn't been posted to RPS/Qt3/etc. then it's fairly obvious why Bay12 is well represented. I'd post but... no account there. Anywhere. I've seen this in every place I frequent so I'm not of much use as an evangelist.

Currently designing a pretender for LA Man.
Any input on the issue is welcome.

[tompliss]

There are always more independent nature mage when you make tests than when you go for a real play.

Other than that, not many things to say...

Spoiler: Current Design (click to show/hide)

I'd like to take F3, but that leaves me with leftover points. I can also take a temperature scale or misfortune scales for some extra points (even though the latter could be risky).
Can't seem to find any combinations with an awake Dragon that I'd like.

I know you get nature income, but I don't really want to waste design points on that.

Edit: I'll be taking 1 Misfortune and 1 Heat for 3 Productions and 3 Growth unless somebody suggests otherwise.

[tompliss]

I wouldn't go for more than Misf 1, as you can easily get many bad Drain-oriented events, striking your gem stock badly.

Dom8 may be a bit high (expensive, but no awe). I don't know whether you want to recruit your sacred troops, but dom 6-7 may not be a bad option (even if it depends on your potential neighbours), and will get you some more points for scales.
Same thing about the temp scale (neighbors and stuff).
