I have seen this discussed here a few times, and purchased it recently. I think some others might as well. If there is enough interest, I could start a PBEM game on llamaserver. Info on llamaserver can be found here.
Newbie--5 or fewer MP games. Can be adjusted if needed if there is not enough interest.

So Arco decided to declare war, I might not be able to win, but lket's see how much of his troops die before me.
Didn't I tell you a few turns earlier? Don't fight each other with Abyssia, hit Arco while you can! Now you have it. I don't know if Tein Chi still fights Arco, it's all a bit too quiet, I fear that Arco opening a new front means TC quietly lost the war and was forced to accept some not-so-advantageous peace.
Ah! Flea market open for business Well, just to make the market a bit competetive, before sending Ermor his outrageous fee, PM me with your demand and asked price too. I am sure I can make you a better offer - if I am able to produce the item, that is. I won't deny that Ermor will probably have a wider selection, but what I can make, I can probable make cheaper. Especially if it's just a pendant of luck that are just going out of fashion in Hinnom, since casting Personal Luck is now taught in all Hinnom temple schools for children
BTW I did not receive last turn, even after asking for resend. Something is horribly wrong. If it prevails, is it possible to change my contact e-mail on llamaserver?
I said from the start that the fool doomed us both, it's not like I had much choice in the matter, I could only fight back or die
same thing happened to me few turns back.
Still nothing. Can anyone try the RESEND function to see if it works for him?
Well, from the Abysian perspective early war with Arcoscephale would have been a disaster. He had a province - very well defended - opening right onto a province next to our capital. Probably my mistake for not heading that way sooner (I took the two mountain provinces to my south first, due to their resource production), but Abysia's strength is certainly not the early rush either way.
Of course, war with Marverni has proven a disaster, as well, but what we really needed was to sweep through the West and establish a strong base to operate from by holding the whole peninsula. Had we been able to defeat Marverni - or had Marverni not been so close - we might have established enough of a base from which we certainly would have been able to strike Arcos.
All in all, it grieves the fire-loving (and sometimes aflame) people of Abysia that soft, fleshy men will rule the world. But we can at least take out as many as possible before the end. Our dominion is still strong, our core provinces still well fortified, our Pretender formidable, and our mages increasingly powerful in the arts of evocation. Conquering Abysia - whether by Marverni or by Arcoscephale - will prove expensive, indeed.
Ha, no, I did not lose a battle, Arco is running away, I have not engaged him yet, still chasing him.
Good. I have noticed that not only were the elephant mercs all afflicted when I bought them, they were also starved. That means Arco forgot about adequate supplies for his horde, and other units from that group will probably be starved/diseased too.
I will look into this. Your email address can be changed. I will have to see how this is done.
Admin Options -> Change player's e-mail address
Would do it myself, but I don't have the admin password.
I have PMed my new e-mail address to you.
Address changed, turn resent. I also had my turn resent to verify this is working.
We are at turn 20 now. Is 24 hours still enough for everyone?
edit - I just realized, llamaserver is locked up again. That is probably why the resend is not working. I will postpone hosting, once it gets back up, to make sure you have enough time to get your turn in Kama.

Judging from this, it seems the server no longer updates the game status (since 7:48 GMT). I have sent PM to Llamabeast, the owner and maintainer of the server on Dom3 forums, perhaps he will look into the matter.
Turn 20? But that's wrong, I see turn 19, waiting for Hinnom and Lanka. Last file I received from the server was turn 18 anyway. 24h is fine for me.
BTW no turn file came to the new address. I think the server is down/broken, at least turn processing is.
Right. I meant the next turn will be 20. Approaching turn 20 would have been a better choice of wording.
Finally, my turns arrived after many hours, the "updated" time on the server now matches the actual time. Thanks the Hungry Flames of Nether.
If anyone is interested, here is a lengthy, yet interesting essay on Hinnom, Ashod, and Gath. It is more scholarly than gameplay oriented, and I have not yet found time to finish it.
Arcoscephale does not run, you merely caught us in the midst of our annual marathon!
wonderloss, i will read the essay...... i love quality writing created out of the love of something, rather than to meet a publisher's deadline.... thnaks..
EDIT: I have already read this, and did not connect it you. Wouderfully written essay, with accurate research. Not may people know about Mishna... very cool icing on the cake. Enjoyed reading your essay again. (And this time taking notes on world spells.....) Thanks!
Not my essay, buy any means. When I said I had not finished it, I meant I had not finished reading it yet. It was just something I had found, and I thought it was worth sharing.
Are my prices too high? Honestly, I have no idea, being a newbie and all. I guess make me a better offer and I will see if it is worth my while.
Hahaha, I caught your army Arco! Slaughtered. Infact out of my 10 losses I think I killed more than you through friendly fire...but I did kill over 150 of your little weaklings. You will soon regret starting an unprovoked war against me.
According to the score chart I have gained a victory point. Which is great, except I have no idea how. Anybody know how one earns these? Presumably Hinnom gained its VP for taking out Yomi, but I have nothing like that to take credit for.
Certain provinces are victory points. They only matter if the victory point condition is enabled. Victory point win is not enabled for this game, but the victory points still show.
wonderloss... you did not write the article under a different handle? opps i gave you karma for writing it.... my bad... lets just change it to having posted the link for us all.
Lord Xia, go, go , go... Arco and hinnom both start out really strong... (your posts fun reading... blunt, to the point...) oh, and lets remember the immortal words of Donald Trump: "whats a little friendly fire amongst friends?"
