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?)

yeah it will refresh when the game is ready

i a lot of the time leave my game open where it shows all the nation flags and you see that it has an X on it if they havent done their turn

when it hosts it will refresh and you will see everyone with an X on their flag until they do their turn

but a lot of the time i post in the thread to let people know

only tien chi left to do the turn for it to host

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).

yeah, caelum definitly needs mercs at the beginning (from what i've found in SP)... and Vanheim is definitly not a beginner race (my national units don't exactly scream how to use them best, and I've found a few instances of people discussing Vanheim strategy in the forum, but no details).. plus i changed my mind on what theme i prefered after starting the game. But should be a good learning experience as a first MP game.

Caelum can use mercs or mammoths for creeping I think but massed archers work well too. Just do not melee anything.

Abysia IMO is very strong as it has great troops early plus a good blood economy for later. While Micltan is rather subtle (ie I do not know what to do at all)

I am struggling against tritons as I always do with R'lyeh. I think they would be broken on indep level 1 and impossible on level 9 so I hope 6 is quite balanced.
