Xerxes:

I'm afraid I'm way south of you. I am about the same latitude as the middle of northern Califonia: 42nd parallel, same as Rome, Italy. On your map, we are south of Detroit, MI.

How's the skiing up there this time of year?

[Xarathas]

ok big southerner please resend turn, you sent me your turn I think.

[big_canuk]

2125 resent to Xarathas.

sorry, should have made this clearer. The turn you sent me is labeled correctly "xarathas-morgan-etc" but it is actually your turn for some reason (drones). Sorry about the confusion, could you please resend?

[big_canuk]

The correct turn 2125 sent to Xarathas this time. Sorry for the problem. I must have used save/exit instead of "turn complete". Its the first time I have ever done this.

Did you get a reload? I loaded up the turn I sent you, and got my game just before I was to hit "turn complete", ie after I had made all my moves. Kind of nice to know you can save your turn in the middle, and then reload at that point, without the reload msg. (If indeed you don't get it.)

yeah I did get a reload, figured you'd prolly have to play the turn again to send it to me so I didn't take notice of it.

Sorry about skipping a few posts up here regarding turns. Been strapped for time just to play the turns this last few days.

Are the random events on? If it isn't, please let me know because the last turn is bugged if it isn't. A city of mine that was about to make a colony pod had no food into the 2nd population for some reason. If it was due to random event, then play on turn sent.

2127 to Xerxes.

[Xarathas]

Hmm, It must've either been the starvation problem I overlooked, only plausible explaination. Looking back at the turn before I did have a 2nd pop but I thought I switched the worker to the 2nut/no mineral square, guess I didn't, poo

IIRC we are playing with random events off. I really don't understand your question. I can surmize that it might be trying to produce a CP from a base that isn't producing enough food to get to pop 2.

The turn before the pop increase you can't build the CP, cause your base would be abandoned. Then the pop goes to 2, but you have hunger. At the end of that turn, work on the CP is abandoned, and you pop goes back to 1. It can really be a problem, if your second pop is a drone, and you get riots. CP is halted 1st turn cause of riots, then once drone is turned to a doctor, 2nd turn is halted again cause of hunger.

Is this what happenned? If not, sorry for the lame explanation, but let me know in more detail what happenned. Or you can save the files, and after the game ship them to me, and I'll comment. If you really think it is a problem, and not just a "feature", then ship the turn to Tau, and he can explain it for you.

He's busy though, so better to try to figure it out here.
