In turn 6 I saw a 7th level enamy hero/wizard. Â Figured at that time I was in trouble.
Attaining 15th level in 15 turn was impressive. Â But I do hope the game updates do
make it harder to do this kind of thing.
Also, I was the last out. Â Not sure if that means I should finish in second
or if you go by the score.

Congratz Gab!
As we can see on the screenshot from the score, I was 2nd but lagging behind you when we met... I think you did a very very good job of leveling up your leader and all your spiders. You reach level 15 and the empire quest very quickly but even before that, at level 13, you had Regrowth + Call Lightning and like 3 Elite spider queens, 1 knight, 1 griphon, 1 king serpent... The game was already over... I tried to attack your cities but your main stack was too close and get back on me very quickly. Then you did a great job of baiting me into attacking 2 isolated units to kill me the next turn.
I wanted to have some turns of respite by tacking your attention to the North, so that I can build some Nagas, with which I could have beaten you (maybe)... But it didn't work when I made that mistake and got crushed.
Very well played!
But that kind of thing should not be possible any more with v1.703 which limit XP farming. We'll see in following games how it works for you.
Also, I found out Bracasse's AI about 2-3 turns after we kicked him out: he was just above me. But I was too busy with Gab to do anything against him.

Please report the game "Report game" link here. Don't forget to flag Bracasse as a quitter.
I'll comment a bit later (on the report probably), pretty busy recently.

I have a screenshot of my turn start with "End of turn" ready to be clicked, if needed.
Counter of restarts (if I didn't miss any):
- Hiliadan: 1
EDIT : v1.703 released, we can switch to it, even though it's a bit late to nerf some of our player here who already completed an EQ (

For this game, I'm sorry but we have to consider you as a quitter and report you to other players in the site.
As I said, I don't want to restart. I think restart should be considered only in extreme cases (like what happened in the "Tournament training" game with Markymark getting defeated on turn 1, which is really not fun.
Gab did not state any preference. If he wants to restart, then at 3 vs 1, I'll accept, but otherwise, let's just continue please. As I said, I don't think anyone will get a big advantage at this point. By the way, it's not "free cities" or "free items" as there is an AI to protect them.

Je vois que vous êtes plutôt mécontent, ce que je comprends.
Je suis vraiment désolé de vous avoir fait attendre, mais j'ai eu des soucis de connexion et je suis vraiment incapable de tenir la cadence de 1 tour par 24h.
Je ne suis pas quelqu'un qui abandonne une chose qu'il a commencée, lorsque je me suis engagé et surtout lorsque d'autres dépendent de moi, mais là ... désolé.
J'attends donc votre avis sur ce que je dois faire et je le fais.
Encore désolé, j'espère que vous ne m'en voudrez pas trop.
A bientôt, j'espère.
Hi everybody.
I see you are quite unhappy , as I understand it .
I'm really sorry to keep you waiting , but I had connection problems and I am really unable to hold the rate of one revolution per 24 hours.
I'm not someone who gives up something he started when I committed myself and especially when others depend on me , but there ... sorry .
I await your opinion on what I should do and I do it.
Sorry again , I hope you do not mind too much.
See you soon, I hope.

9 turns it's at least 9 days, and next week, as I said, I will be on holiday so may play much more slowly.

The remaining players have played quickly.
I prefer a restart, then we get rid of any unfair advantage/disadvantage
from the AI taking over for Bracasse.
I will continue to play this game, but I think more are in favor
of a restart than not.

We will have opportunities to play other games with no quitter later, but first let's finish this game as it is. It would of course have been better if he stayed but I think it is manageable for everyone to win, even with this.

a player in PBEM" on their list of things to do? Â I have requested
this in a couple emails to them, but have never gotten a response.
This is how I got started with AOW. Â I subbed in a few games of
AOWSM PBEM.

Taking away targets (razing cities) is as bad as making targets
easier (letting AI take over). Â Either decision will effect someone
negatively.
Since we are not so far in, I would vote for starting over with 4.
Or, if we want 5 players, finding a reliable 5th and start over.

@all: the rest of us seem to be reliable. starting all over again would be an option.

Also to inform you that I will be away on holiday for 1 week starting Saturday, so I think I will move the turn timer to 2 days or even longer during that period.

I suggest kicking him as it's probably better than an AI plays instead of no-one. What do you think?
Hiliadan has written at 29/09/2015, 06:58 AM >>
So see what is best Bracasse. Either you raze everything then surrender, or you stay but be sure to be able to play every 24 hours most of the time, and when not, warn in advance (but it must be exceptional).

There is no way that someone replaces you. The best would have been for you to warn us that you could not connect this week end, so that I extend the turn timer.
However, yes I think it will be an issue if you cannot connect once every 24 hours to play your turn during week ends. Leaving an ongoing game is considered as being a "quitter", which is prohibited by this site. I'm really bothered because I clearly stated in the settings of the game that it was a 1 day turn timer game... You should have read carefully!
