Real Time Playing? [Outdated]

[anglophileRVK]

What particular feauture is allowing my opponents to be playing at the same time as me? Just now, I had just begun my turn, was about to deploy my armies on a country I owned, & hit Deploy. It gave me an Illegal Move block, and the country was now my opponents'! This real-time playing simply does not work! How can I possibly know where to attack or fortify, if my opponents are busy attacking me while my turn is happening without my knowledge! Very frustrating. If that option continues, I really can't see continuing to play the game.

Hello there!

Yes, sometimes that does get rather annoying sometimes, and that's why some people choose "Yes" for the "Sequential" option, for a real "round the table" experience. Unfortunately, some people say that doing that way takes too long, especially if there are any deadbeats, so you can also have it so that you can skip a player's turn during the round, and then wait for them to finish to begin the next round.

Sort of sucks though when your plan gets ruined by someone who's online at the same time as you, though...
