Online Order Entry And Validation
URL: http://fallofromegame.com/alamazeorders/login.php
The following provides important information on how to use the order entry website:
1) If you haven't done so already, please create an Alamaze Username and Password from the New Player Registration Website located at: http://fallofromegame.com/alamazeorders/...racct.html
2) Enable pop-ups for your browser to use the website. After you successfully login (topmost link above), the next page is displayed in a new browser session so you will need to allow pop-ups to continue. No cookies are saved by this program, but your browser may save certain form data by default. You can disable or clear this through your browser security settings. No harm either way to your online orders.
3) Before assigning actions for your kingdom, first select the appropriate GAME/KINGDOM from the Home page's dropdown list. This will auto-load information about your kingdom for you to issue your actions. However, this auto-load process will not load your present orders that you may have saved on the server. You will need to press the LOAD ORDERS button to load your current actions for the turn that you had saved in order to make any adjustments to your turn before its due date.
4) Press the VERIFY ORDERS button to verify your orders (check any messages that are displayed on the page).
5) Press the SAVE ORDERS button to save your orders to the game server. Just entering your orders or pressing the Verify Orders button isn't enough, you actually have to press the Save Orders button to record your actions to the server. You may save an unlimited number of times (so save as often if you like) but only the last version saved will be used for your kingdom's actions. If you happen to change your mind about a particular action for the turn on another day, then press the Load Orders button when you login, make your change, and press the Save Orders button again to record your change(s) to the server.
6) Always try to submit your orders at least 24 hours before its due date. There may be a number of uncontrollable reasons why our web site may be unavailable at the time that you enter your orders, so try to save your actions ahead of the due date. We are not responsible for internet outages or connectivity problems, so try to submit your orders at least a day or so in advance.
7) While assigning your actions for the turn, check the S.O. (Standing Order) box to convert the order to be a standing order. To cancel a standing order, just uncheck the box on the right side. Or, if you wish to cancel an existing standing order that you made in a previous turn, go to the OTHER menu tab and select the Cancel Standing Order option.
8) If needed, you may press the EXTRA ORDER button to create another order entry on the page. This may be necessary to create additional orders for your turn (e.g., issuing multiple Escape From Prison actions for your emissary).
9) Always complete your current order by assigning values for the appropriate fields that are displayed before moving onto another order. This includes selecting LEAVE EMPTY for the remaining fields of an action to fully complete it. When an action is finished, the page will be redrawn with your chosen actions listed in numerical order. If this doesn't happen then the website is waiting for you to complete your order before accepting it. The transfer actions under the Military menu-tab are more complex than others in that some fields are mutually exclusive with each other (e.g., choose either wizard initials or level) or enter an artifact shortname value to complete the action. If you're not specifying an artifact for the transfer, enter the number zero and press the Enter key on your keyboard to complete the action (see #12 below).
10) If you change your mind about issuing a particular order then select NO ACTION (top of each dropdown list) to clear the action. The same applies while you're in the midst of filling out an order and you change your mind about a particular field. Always clear the order with No Action then start over.
11) Check the message box area for the running total of your food/gold amounts and other warnings such as receiving troop reinforcements to ensure your actions are valid for the turn.
12) For text box fields that require you to manually enter a value (e.g., artifact shortnames, skeleton codes), you'll have to press the Enter key to complete the action (preferred). Alternatively, you may click on Verify Orders button, or you may click on your browser's refresh button after typing in the value to register it. If no value should be specified (e.g., not including an artifact when transferring figures to another group), then enter the number zero and press the Enter key.
13) For map dropdown lists (e.g., group movements), select STOP for the next column if you have less than 8 movement areas to specify.
14) If you wish to bookmark or make this site a favorite, do so at the Alamaze Login page that requests your username/password. Do NOT bookmark any subsequent page(s) after the login page in an attempt to bypass it since the login procedure looks up your current game/kingdom information that is registered under your account. If you try to bypass this step, the subsequent pages may not load correctly, and you'll eventually have problems entering your orders.
15) For Ready-Enabled games, go to the Ready menu tab to see when your next turn is due (approx. time). Press the Ready button to indicate that you are ready for your turn to be processed. Make certain that your actions for the turn are final since the game may be launched fairly quickly after all the players have indicated that they are ready.
16) From the Home page, press the ALL GAMES button to see various info on your games.
17) Please logout (by completely closing the browser) when you are done with your orders. This step is necessary before accessing your next turn's information because the order entry website requires users to login to access their game information. If you leave the browser open after a turn is processed, you may not see the next turn's information for your game. If this occurs, logout by closing the browser and relog back in and you'll be ok.
Browsers
If you can, please use the latest version of Chrome for entering your orders. Chrome was used for our website development and it will display the page in its proper size and configuration/color. Different browsers may display the various fields differently from each other.
Updates/Reload Website
For Google Chrome, clear the cache by: (1) click on the 3 dots or bars in the upper right corner of the browser, (2) go to Settings, (3) on the left sidebar, click on Privacy and Security and scroll down to the Clear browsing data section, (4) select Advanced and clear all. When finished, go to the Alamaze order entry website and log back in. The browser should automatically download the newly updated files.
As an alternative (not as good though), you may login the order entry website and at the Home page, hold down the Shift key on the keyboard and click on the browser's refresh button. You will need to do this on all menu tabs (Political, Covert, Divine, etc.) and not just the Home page since each menu tab is a separate HTML page.
