Yeah it was probably an issue with different user names on your computer so thats cool that everything is ok now. So since is no longer a reason to make a player an AI the game should proceed as normal.
is there any practical way of being alerted when a new turn is generated (ie by email?) or maybe by leaving the game running in the background? would that work? (like does the 'turn' screen refresh when the turn is ready?)
on another note, how is everyone doing so far? I know caelum has been hiring a lot of mercenaries that I have seen. I have a bunch of guys on the hof. So far it looks like I am doing good. I think I may like abysia more than mictlan(from my first mp game).
