No problem.

We have a third player again! Still time to join the PG and try your luck. There are a wad of unknown troops around, walls, barracks galore for the taking. But first you have to get to them!

Its unfortunate that huge ass games like this one just kill the want to play. I will stay away from them and wait for people to make smaller and easier to manage games.

I dropped out and rejoined and I'm having fun getting whacked on by mrPrinters! There are so many old walls and unknown troops it can be challenging to just move around. Dropping out is good, it lets you take a break.

Who knew controlling over 200 armies and 78 castles could be so draining? I can't do it anymore I was hoping to try and conquer all 100 castles on the map but I don't think I've got enough turns to do it in. I'll probably quit in the next few turns...

Hahaha! See what I mean. the system was not made to handle this many units!

Drop out and rejoin like I did! That way you get to try to survive in a hostile environment, it's fun! I've had games where I had 500 troops and it gets to be a drag to move them, I know.

Yeah, every turn takes about an hour to complete. I could rejoin but I only carried on to try and conquer the map. Just so you know all my castles to the north/ north east do not have any barracks or drawbridges so if you get past my first line of castles. You won't have any trouble taking them

As usual, the Proving Grounds game ended at an odd moment, around turn 200, not 255 as advertised. They never seem to go all the way to the end, then you have to join 3 or 4 new ones before one "sticks" and actually continues.

I look forward to massive time-consuming turns very soon, though!

I just opened one up - how long will it last ?

Well, that one went away, so I started another.

I am beginning to think the game itself has to start one for it to remain. Maybe it takes a couple of days before it remembers!

Think it needs at least 5 players to start ...
not sure though.
