Yes, that will be a thing in two pieces.

First, skipping or missing a turn where you have units with VALID moves (it can move or attack), all Units with VALID actions will take 1 Damage (Mini Frostbite).

Second, if you have your turn skipped 5ish times in a match, you will automatically forfeit.

There IS a penalty for this though. The penalty being that all troops that have a cooldown on them (say, 3 turns for a cannon to be able to take an action again), will NOT have their cooldown timer go down. Learned this the hard way when I was thinking too long for making a move.

Has the fix gone in that you mentioned for those of us with a really slow connection? I think I was losing turns yesterday just because it took too long to load for me and thus went on to the other player's turn before I had a chance. I figured I'll just avoid vs player for the time being and concentrate on AI.

That was unintentional. I see why that is in the code and will fix that eventually - probably once the actual penalties are in.

I have not yet. I will try to do that tonight though.

He really does...but he is a good player to play against if you want a challenge :D :P

Oh, with the leaderboards for Snow Wars starting again this weekend, that does mean the fest will be going on to the 22nd instead? With the only decision being whether or not the zone remains open or not?

Yea, the Festival will go until the 22nd.

Still undecided on the Festival Zone.

Is it just me or do all pieces get frostbite every turn now? Also, my pieces randomly keep dying when they have a lot of health and are out of range of everything (there was only a tower left on the board).

I'd suggest taking a look at the Game Log at the bottom to see what happens each turn.
