Ummm, Got spoiled with the automatic sign in through the client and can't find my original email from the registration process.
I still want to play, but am not sure how to get access again.

registered with the following address:
hmrealms@yahoo.com

Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry for that, it's one of the results of having a small indie game. Recruit your friends and it'll be faster. :-)

I tried recruiting from another game that I play, and got 2 responses : (

I don't know...this key system seems to have some bugs in it. I can't log into either of my accounts now, since I logged out of the one. At least I could access one before.

What was the result in Waldacker (last game to complete)? There were two of us left and it would have been close whether the other family were killed or I died, may have been a draw, but nothing to let me know.

The AI for families that aren't player controlled seems to get a huge amount of material collected in the huts. Loads of wood and/or food, and fences built. Not sure that's working correctly.

Lots of bugs still left. And yes, there is something wrong with the login/key system, and I'm trying to figure out what it could be. For the moment, contact me by mail and I'll fix it manually.

According to the diary reader, everyone died.

There's an incredibly function/bug to do with map scrolling and the chat window:

Basically, when you are scrolling around using the arrow keys, the focus will suddenly swap to the chat window, meaning that you can't continue scrolling without clicking somewhere one the map.

I'm running my game in windows mode, and the arrows seem to sometimes scroll the chat (while also moving the screen), and other times put typing focus on the chat window (as mentioned above). I'm still trying to figure out exactly when it does it...I thought it was holding left mouse and then down (got it reproduce about 10 times consecutively doing that, clicking on a plot that opened an action window, closing the window, then repeating). However, when I deselected chat window focus by clicking on a plot that /didn't/ open an action window, the Left arrow/down arrow no longer triggered the chat focus as before.

Ok, it appears that clicking on a plot on which you can perform an action (and then closing it) somehow makes the arrows keys start targeting the chat bar. The arrow keys start to scroll the chat, and they also active the chat bar focus (left + down simultaneously seems to do it most often).

Thanks. I'll try to figure out what's going on there.

Not sure what's happened, but I now don't seem to be able to repair anything (fence, wood wall, hut) if it's on common ground. It doesn't set the action for my peasant. (so that one has been sent gathering instead)

Can you try this again? Repairing should be possible for all buildings now with the beta 11 client.

It's only been the last couple of turns it's not worked. This last time, it was shown as a recorded action for the peasant, but on returning to the main screen it said I still needed to complete my actions for that game, and on returning to it, the repairing peasant was now listed as idle...

[Tom]

Ok, sounds like the problem might be with the server. Again, does it work on Beta 11 or still fail?

First turn was on 10, second on 11
