Well, I learned an important lesson. You have to load this game through the Network option, not the Load Saved Game option.

If you make changes through "Load saved game" you do them offline. That is actually a good way to play the game for people who pay per minute for their internet connection: Grab the turn first when you connect to the server, then disconnect and prepare it offline through "Load saved game". When you are done with the preparations, connect to the server again to upload your turn, which is done automatically for you.

In the Network screen, what's the bracket symbol beneath certain nations mean? "Connected" perhaps?

The thing that looks like a claw or something? Yeah, connected players.

I thought it was a bit of chain.

Great to see this game is finally rolling! What are the victory settings? And are there any usual mp house rules? Perhaps a bit late to ask since we've already started, but since we are all new to this...

Something tells me Patala's pretender is a big nasty monster! I hope I don't get on the wrong side of it

MP House rules:
- be respectful of each other, it's just a game
- do your turns in time or announce that you're unable to do so
- don't vanish from the game without notice

I told you, failure to do your turns in time repeatedly will result in me looking for replacements for you. This is in consideration of the other players involved in the game.

Victory settings are the default, not specified any further, so it's either "last man standing" or general consensus to declare a winner.

Hey Ich,

What were the settings for this game?

Independents are at 6, a tick better than normal so you learn to fight properly instead of sending half-assed attempts. Hall of fame for 15 entries, the rest is all at standard.

Standard victory aswell. The game will end when it's the general consensus that it's over. Which may require to muzzle somebody.
