Guys, go ahead without me. Tragedy struck, an old friend left us in a peculiarly unforeseen and painful way, while on a vacation, far away from his home. I will need to take some time to be with his family in the following days, which brings my gaming time basically to zero.

You can either wait for me until monday or so or, as I said, just go ahead. I'll gladly join the next one.

Dom6 don't run on my rig, apparently the extreme jump in graphical fidelity means it's no longer compatible with intel graphics, soz :(.

@Kalarion @Nemesis idk why but the John Illwinter didn't include new turn notifications when they made the lobby system. The turn has been up and you're running out of time.

mp games are usually 1 turn due every 24 hours. Games last 30-40 turns in my experience, but that's with reasonable game settings. It is, by far, the best fantasy strategy game. You should get it and practice in singleplayer and join the next game.

No, it uses simultaenous turns and an autobattler system. You give your armies simple commands to follow in battles and the AI usually tries to follow them.

I'm in but need to create a pretender, which won't happen for another day. Are we abandoning the first game?
