On unrelated news, anyone else sorely disappointed in their starting army?

Ok, ok, they won, so I have to give them that.  It would be nice if enough survived for another conquest, though.  I'm used to rebuilding my starting army on turn 5, not turn 3.

[Elfeater]

I may have stalled due to not being able to put in my turn, I only had my phone for internet.

Mine is INCREDIBLY shitty.

Also, two stales in a row, right at the start. Ugh, this does NOT bode well.

[IWishIWereSarah]

Yeah, starting army was ... let's say it needed reinforcement from 2 commanders and 2 recruitment turns :/

[E. Albright]

I'm actually pretty happy with my starting army. It's under 50% at this point and could use reinforcements, but it's intentionally beaten three indy armies and accidentally beat one expansion party.

I have plenty of complaints about my nation, but the starting army has never been one of them.

[bulborbish]

I am fairly certain that my starting army will remain viable for a battle or two, and by then I can replace him with troop construction. Hope it remains that way.

Well, you are trying to run a game during the holidays (some folks would still be travelling / holidaying even now), and the timer is set really low, right? (as per usual for a new game) It's not surprising you'd get stales (or repeated postponing) if people are travelling.

The (4 player) game I'm running right now, over the past month, I ended up changing the warning email time from 12 to 24 hours, postponing repeatedly despite a 3 day timer, and finally extending the timer to 6 days.

Yeah, except I'm not traveling or doing anything but sitting on my butt at home literally all damn day, so it feels kinda ridiculous to be missing deadlines.
Turn 2 in particular snuck up on me, I thought we were still on break time because of the Christmas thing and then POOF "you have staled on turn 2 like a retard"

Having an extension in your browser that indicates when you have new (non-spam) emails helps. (It shows the number of new emails over its icon)

The one I use is specifically for Gmail.

I just keep Gmail open all the time - it'll update on your tab when you get a new message (showing Inbox(1) - xxx@gmail.com).

As far as starting armies go, I'm actually pretty happy with mine, although I seem to be taking way more casualties in my sacred 50g boar warriors than my regular 20-odd gold starting boar warriors.

Damn, my hero is a constant source of disappointment - first he refused to get a heroic skill, then he won a pair of sandals at the arena (he can't wear no shoes).

Huh - I thought the game was smart enough not to award prizes that the hero can't use.

On the other hand, Symbol of Unchallenged Victory is pretty Accurate now, eh?

[BFEL]

OK, fuck this. I NEED longer goddamn turns. This is total bullshit. I should not be missing 3-4 turns at this point in the game for no reason other then "is a mortal and requires sleep"

[Shadowlord]

*whistles*

That is an impressive number of stales for turn 5.
