(curses again).

Sorry, I've just absent-mindedly wrecked the file - I'd clicked "Exit" instead of "Continue" at the very end of the turn, then to avoid the Resend message thought replacing the file with the one in the email might work without using the resend message (which I should have done) - naturally this did when I tried it before, but if I'd thought about it it doesn't now.. The only way to continue is to qualify myself as a cheater.

I can promise that no combat occurred in the turn, and I remember roughly everything else I did. I'm just wondering if there's any other way I can recover the file.

EDIT: In an attempt to continue the game, I've repeated the turn and sent the file. It is up to the three of you what you wish to do with me.

Halflings Day 18

Took over the orc town with way too many casualities than needed. Bad tactical planning on my side. Now telling the orcs to move out of the city. Took over the watchtower of the goblins just to see a very bad omen. Large amount of troops crossing the fields. I'll have to put them to a stop as soon as possible.

@ QuadrAlien: Everyone makes mistakes. I know you wouldn't intend to cheat the game.
But the game must go on. So I don't see any harm in this. Especially since you openly said it.

Don't worry, if you generate a restart message just explain how it happened. That is what most players usually do. Also... if you accidentally press the Exit button you can actually just go back and reload your game and Aow will ask if you want to do a resend.

Goblins, Day 18
Things are going well. Although that pesky fair looks like she might escape...

Turn sent.

Orcs, Day 18

That battering ram is taking it's sweet time to get here.

Sorry for the delay, it's been a busy weekend

QuadrAlien's Log, Day 19

The dwarves report that they have found a route to the deepest depths. Either we will find great riches or we will be slaughtered horribly - my money's on both.

Turn sent.

Halflings Day 19

The colloseum is currently controlled by the goblins who are fighting hard to get their gold medals. As much as we'd like to claim it, we can not.

Miraculously we conquered another city. The troll proved to be a huge pain. When it smashed my units to death in one or two hits I started to worry even more.

In the end my slinger and cleric assasinated him because the troll kept missing my slinger. Unfortunately there is unrest in the city.

Turn sent.

Goblins, Day 19
We are consolidating our forces and moving south to capture the lizard men towns. In the caverns we are yet to take a well guarded dwarf city as there are some nasty area guards hindering our approach.

Turn sent.

Orcs, Day 19

The Human city has fallen to us, we sustained casualties and now our party is recuperating in the city they've captured.

Turn sent.

On an unrelated note I'm happy to report that the AoW Email Wrapper works perfectly on Windows 7 (just upgraded from XP)

The halflings have been working fine under windows 7 too. ;)

QuadrAlien's Log, Day 20

Having been watching the advance of the Orcs on a Human town from a nearby Reflecting Pool, the time has finally come to strike.

The dwarves have hired a city guarded by their kind, but entirely populated by Goblins for some reason. Curious.

Halflings Day 20

A hero has joined our sides. Just in time to to knock out everyone in town who's opressing.
The halflings are watching the goblin's every move but keeping their distance for obvious reasons.

turn sent

Goblins, Day 20
We are sad that no heroes have joined the Goblins yet... this could put us at a disadvantage.
Moving units with wall crushing takes time, so our expansion has slowed down a little.

We are concerned that the Orcs have not secured the west bridge and two parties of Elves and a small party of Halflings have crossed. This could affect the entire outcome of the war for us.

Turn sent.

Orcs Day 20

Enemy armies have crossed the northern bridge. This game is about to get a whole lot more interesting.

Turn sent

Also sorry for the turn restart, AoW doesn't Alt+Tab as well as one hopes

side note: my turns will take considerably longer since college is starting again. However I predict I'll be able to send my turn the same day I receive it.
