wtf is going on on afterlife

Post by MikiTheBerserkr »

I am playing afterlife game and thinking hmmm why does my opponent take so long? Then I look at the flag and apparently it's bot's turn! So I am waiting waiting and it still doesn't move... My opponent doesn't say anything (but maybe he's just an NPC), it has been probably like 15+ minutes and the game is still at the bot's turn... I don't think it's a connection issue as I can /m AfterBot history, and get a response...

Because of his connection issue the whole game froze?

Oh, wait, this game's servers are hosted on player's PCs? lol

You seem confused. Any player can run the multiplayer server but the server does not play any sides in a game. AI sides are played by one of the clients usually the host.

Since you're talking about afterlife presumably you've joined the official server run on wesnoth.org. Perhaps you missed the "AI sides transferred to host." message.
