I know that it is possible for one player to play more than one nation in a game. Seen it happen several times as teammates cover for each other just like this. I talked it over with some people and they said that you must play both turns from the same computer. What dom3 doesnt like is if you play one turn on one machine, and then another turn (in the same game) from another computer. That makes it think that you've illegally shared your key w/ someone else.

Hopefully that addresses your problem.

On a different note, is it just me or are the independants unusually strong in this game?

Independent strength is set at 6, it's also noted on the main page of the thread. Though, they do seem rather strong. Though I think 6 is managable. Another way to alter the speed of the game (expansion-wise) is via this option, I was considering lowering it had we kept the orginal larger map.

Oh, I didn't even notice they were turned up a notch, heh. It's just strange having so many independants near my capitol. Oh well, nothing that interesting.

Can we get into contact with one of the substitutes then? I'm not sure if it will complain about the cd-key if I try another turn as Darloth.

I'll see if Tifone is interested in a temp sub for Jomon. Meanwhile, lets do what we can to bring in some more alternates.

I've tried to contact Jachra, possibly known as Jachranit, as a sub for me. Please set Jomon's turn-email to jachranit@gmail.com - that should clear things up. I've also taken steps to recover my harddrive, best case tuesday, worst case next week saturday, I hope.

Yeah, it will. I don't know if it is a fairly recent change, but you can't play two nations in a game from the same CD-Key. You get that message, and then the turn orders are ignored.

I've had it happen to me in two recent games where I was trying to set a staling nation to AI.
