Destiny of Empires [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread]

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

urgh, not again. 3 hours left on timer, Japan has not played... take turn?

cancel that, Japan has logged in, but not ended turn.

Sorry India I do end my turn it just doesn't show up on pyt. if in doubt just look and make sure if i logged in. if i did then i played if not then i haven't.

This is just going to get worse and worse. India is playing with just a couple hours left... I mean its a weekend now so sure, but what happens during the week when people have to go to work?

Oh and BTW 5 teams are mising their turn this turn, whereas everybody played the last 3 turns

Clearly we need to stick with the 36 hr timer.

-3 players have not played, they are not at war
-not everybody has played the last 3 turns, actually we had to wait the full 36 hours except maybe one time
-Japan has played in the first hour, so india could had played anytime.
24h will work fine

Small point:
We never complained about random players not taking turns before, at least I have no recollection of it being an issue. I don't think there's any particular need for someone to play every single turn when nothing's going on, even in the Industrial-Modern era. I can certainly skip a few turns right now and be none the worse for wear. Queuing and all... I mostly just log in every turn to check things out and do the odd diplo deal, but things are always queued up for a few turns in advance if needed.

And that's the mighty massive ungodly large and powerful and amazing empire of Inca, so if someone like (no offense ) the Zulu or Mongolians wants to skip a turn here and there, it's fully understandable and shouldn't be an issue. So long as players are diplomatically active and post a story or two a month and keep their civ in good shape, that's all that I think should be required in this sort of game. And that's something you can do while playing only every third turn.

That's the nice thing about this diplo experience: if I ever go back to SP, I'm going to get through games a lot faster by queuing and such and hitting shift-enter about 5 times in a row. Probably do a lot better also.

If the timer is 24H, don't be upset if you have to wait 24H to take a turn! Same for 36.

Also, why don't the Zulu have PM access?

Guys, something is messed up, there is a 500 turns limit set for the game which means the game ends in 1910. I'm not sure I can launch my spaceship by then.. so 100 turns left, I guess we can continue the game after it, but is there something we can do to change this?

[America (DoE)]

Yeah, missing a turn every now and again was never a problem, I agree with the Inca, long live the queue. It is only a problem when you are at war, and that's the only reason why the turn timer gets extended sometimes. 24 hrs is fine with me as well.

Really!?!?
We can indeed just continue and ignore that, but it still sucks.
Does anybody know how to fix this?

I think multiplayer games can not be edited, you would need a worldbuilder save file for that.

Someone made a tool for Warlords but he never finished it for BtS

[Inca (DoE)]

The ancient Inca calendar spoke of an end of a Great Cycle in the year of 2050. Now we just look stupid...

That really sucks. Perhaps e-mail 2K and beg for help?

[OzzyKP]

Damn.

I guess we all overlooked that when making the map/scenario.

[Hungary (DoF)]

Does it matter?

[America (DoE)]

Does it matter?

No, not for you Hungary, not for you...

[Aztecs (DoE)]

Does everyone read their private messages regularly?

[Russia (DoE)]

I do.
