Can you make a little place in your page 14 for Pythium ? :c

I've heard rumours that the next issue of the journal will have a giant tribute to Boulder.

The LlamaServer seems to be having difficulty reaching its mail server at the moment. Fear not. Games won't host until it is fixed.

So don't go coocoo if you don't seem to get the turn confirmation email.
The game also got the 4.05 patch, it is my understanding that it won't cause any incompatibilities so if your preferred dominions source (desura/steam/gamersgate) is already offering the patch, feel free to get it.

[Delta Foxtrot]

I postponed by 24h just to be safe with the current llamaserver issues. Do try to get your turn in within the original timetable though.

edit:

Regarding llamaserver:

Johan has given me a quick fix which hopefully will overcome the crash bug. However I'm unlikely to have time to implement it until Saturday, so that's the current ETA. Sorry to keep you waiting.

So... I have no idea what just happened with the turn, but it looks like no one staled so I guess I'll just ignore it?

First I got a "wrong 2h file" error email, along with a resend email that I'd requested. I got turn 1397409367 resent to me apparently. Looks like this game's going to go for a loooooong time in to the future. I then got the "ok Llamaserver's working again" email, so I requested another turn resend and got turn 58. I didn't have a chance to look at it in the next half hour before I got the new turn for 59. Looking back at my emails it looks like the last one I submitted was 58, so I guess all of that was just the system getting itself working again, since things seem to be ok.

Anyway, I think I've got about one more decent battle left in me then I'm going to go AI, just so everyone knows. I'm mostly out of mages.

[Margrave]

I also got the "wrong 2h file" error with a stupendously wrong turn number.
So unless there's an outstanding issue with the file I guess everything that happened is legit.

And on that note I can provide an exclusive interview with Bogus if you'd like lijacote.

He has no choice now.

[lijacote]

Yeah, I believe everything is in order. Maybe the ridiculous turn was a measure by Llamabeast to stop the server from encountering the crashing issue before it got fixed?

Can he come to the interview posthumously, o' inflamed one? :p Oh. You enslaved him.

[Delta Foxtrot]

I didn't get the weird turn number mail, but I've seen it reported here by you guys and sum1won for 315 and also at the official forums by people.

As far as I can tell everything's back to normal if you just request a resend to get a good turn. Game on, as they say.

[Delta Foxtrot]

How do we feel about Bogus & co? Mainly their attack-commander script now that they're in player hands. I think it would be ok to let the group keep their orders, but forbid any copying of them to other units.

[lijacote]

I would agree with that. Margrave's got him and his friends fair and square, but copying commands (if they haven't fixed it) from them seems a bit exploitative.

[Margrave]

You don't have to worry about any of that. I was well aware of the attack commander command that they have defaulted (while partially a reason I wanted to capture them) I was planning on replacing their orders with the standard ones without copying anyway.

I think it is a bit exploity to use them even by themselves as battle assassins, players were never meant to use them that way, but it seems the game designers have already attended to it and the moment I got them their orders already were changed to just attack. So that's one exploit nobody can use anymore.

[Delta Foxtrot]

And you're sure you didn't fiddle with them at all? Huh, good to know. Didn't expect them to default to non-commander orders.

[Bluerobin]

Sorry for the late turn in guys, especially since I'm mostly irrelevant at this point anyway. Life has been hell, plus pick two of your other favorite excuses and include them as well.

[Delta Foxtrot]

You sure made me pay for that fort, Bluerobin. My mage placement could've used a little work. I was hoping that Howl would distract you more than it did. And I really liked what you tried to pull with living fire + body ethereal. In a more even fight that could have been nasty. I still weep for those evocations you threw at me. Destructive indeed.

I guess that only leaves Bogarus as someone you haven't punched during this invasion.
