Just to let you guys know, our game now seems to work again as it should. Here's what I wrote over at the Ntronium forum:

QuoteInteresting thing is..we use Thunderbird to receive the gmail emails on our computer (leaving the original mails on the gmail server of course) and Hiimori had that set up as IMAP and I had a Pop3 account. To try everything we again started a new game, this time I deleting my Pop3 account for Armada and also setting it up to IMAP. We are now at turn 12 and it works! Don't know what this could have changed for the game since the game is checking mails on its own, shouldn't be affected by whatever my Thunderbird is using to receive the mirror emails on my computer.

Whatever the reason, after changing the mentioned mail accounts both to IMAP it works now...I hope it stays that way.

How are we doing on the game, Martok and JH?

Excellent news, Grimnirsson!  Am very glad you and Hiimori were able to get things running again.  :D

Working on it, but no results as yet.  I'd like to say I'll have everything fixed in the next day or so, but -- knowing my luck -- I suspect that'd turn out to be an overly optimistic assessment.  :-[ 


I hate to say it, but you might consider starting a game without me.  You guys have been waiting for me long enough as it is, and it's not fair that you should keep doing so when I don't have a definite timetable yet for when I'll be back up and running.  (Besides which, there's no rule that says we can't have two PBEM campaigns running at the same time!)  Something to think about, at any rate.

No rush. AFAIK Jarhead is having the same issues.
We will wait until everyone can jump in. Even if it takes another restart.

Martok, JH? Where do you guys stand regarding the pbem game?

I'm currently at a standstill, I'm afraid.  Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the game on my old PC twice now (after deleting every file/folder I could find), but to no avail.  I recently received a different/newer computer, but there are some issues there and it's going to be at least Sunday before I really have time to work on it.  :(

/no problemo

It seems like JH was able to send in his turn, so once you've figured out whats holding Armada from reading the turn we are a go.
At least for another turn... :P

It's a shame Armada is having problems with these PBEM's.  We had a decent game going with our 3 and 4 ways, but the program stopped reading the new turns for some reason. 

@Martok, Shelldrake, OJsDad

Perhaps we can meet again on some other battlefield someday.  You guys are good PBEM partners.

We are now in PbEM turn 215 of - so far, everything works fine and we didn't have any more problems with the emails or game saves.

My Walden Forest is keeping peace with all factions so far, which requires some diplomacy and risky maneuvers. Grimnirssons AROM, on the other hand, are busy fighting wars with the Grey Order and who knows who else.

A few turns ago, the Grey Order gave me one of their planets. There are no constructions on the planet (not even a basic factory), and the game keeps telling me that I should build a relay station.

My (probably very stupid) question to you experienced Armada players out there: How can I build on such a planet? My guess is that I need to ship my own population there before I can build a factory, but - can I build a factory without a factory? Or am I missing something very vital?  :P

If there's not even a Colonist Workshop, then unfortunately you can't build anything on that planet.  Sorry I don't have better news/advice for you.  :( 


I'm surprised that happened, though.  IIRC, one of the changes Bob made in the last update was to disallow players (including the AI) from deleting the factory, so as to prevent the exact scenario you're facing.  Just to be certain, are you two playing Supernova with the 1.4/1.04 update?

That's very strange then.  Not sure what to tell you guys; hopefully it's just a one-time oddity.

If so I can live with that (of course, since it's not my planet-gift LOL - but the Grey Order and The Jellutons (that the name?) are really annoying, attacking, treaties, attacking...and I have not the resources for a war actually - but it's cool to have these problems ;)) because Armada is such an elegant and satisfying game, especially as a PbEM game :)

It is.  :D 


...Which reminds me:  I really gotta reinstall Armada and see if I can get it running again.
