I'm looking at the mosehansen.dk site, I see toolsfools as an open game, but I don't see any links for how to join the game. (To start a game, sure, but not to join.)

Is there some secret to joining a game there?

Thanks!

Heh. Stupid wolf. Okay, I figured it out - start DomII, go to Network, Connect to Dominions Server, enter mosehansen.dk, then the port #.

But - do I need to have my Pretender for that race created on my local machine before joining?

Yes, yes you do. Otherwise the option to upload to that slot will be greyed out.

Grazi. I had started to think that might be why some nations were grayed - I didn't think it was just that I was too new to be allowed to play fish.

(At first, I thought they might be reserved, or not available for the map / game.)

In which case, if Fool's Tools is just waiting for 8, the game is ready to start. As self-proclaimed sacrificial (stainless steel) porcupine, I've just been SP-testing the not-so-optimal Pretender I joined the game with, and I'm fairly confident.

Testing with indies at strength 8, my first wave of amphibious assault troops almost held their own against a bowl of goldfish left behind by some Hoburg troops, retreating with less than 70% casualties.

Bring on the frogs of war!

thanks to all who have joined.
