I played the turn again. You will get a replay notice. The turn went different than the original, possibly better, but I don't know for sure yet. Can't say exactly what went different, without giving out more info than I already am.

2121 to Xarathas, again.

Xerxes2 · February 6, 2001, 18:25

I sent on to the Biggie, but I have a question. As I emailed him I was not allowed to move any of my men/pieces. Each one I accessed said "Turn Complete". I hope everything's all right.

2122 to Xarathas.

Immeadiate turn complete will happen if all your units have orders.

Xarathas · February 7, 2001, 11:48

Turn sent.
*wishing he still had his unity foil*

please send all future turns to this mailbox:
xarathas@fun-soft.com

hotmail's becoming rather unstable lately.

Xerxes2 · February 7, 2001, 18:53

Turn turned to the Biggie. I realized what happened. I put in my password and then hit the save and exit button. Wouldn't let me go back and take my turn.

I've made Chieftan? How did THAT happen?

Xerxes:

Congrats

Cheiftain is for 30 to 100 posts, IIRC. Look in your profile for the # of posts you have. Look in the 'Poly faq to see the levels and designations.

2125 to Xerxes

Xerxes2 · February 10, 2001, 10:02

2125 sent on to da large northerner (at least north of me)

big_canuk · February 10, 2001, 10:16

2125 to Xarathas

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 · February 10, 2001, 14:46

ok big southerner

please resend turn, you sent me your turn I think.

big_canuk · February 10, 2001, 15:27

2125 resent to Xarathas.

Xarathas · February 11, 2001, 15:44

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 · February 11, 2001, 17:14

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.)

Paul · February 12, 2001, 01:13

2126 to Xerxes

Xarathas · February 12, 2001, 11:10

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.

big_canuk · February 12, 2001, 21:39

2126 to Xarathas

Xarathas · February 12, 2001, 22:16

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.

Paul · February 13, 2001, 01:20

2127 to Xerxes.

Xarathas · February 13, 2001, 21:53

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.
