Re: New game for new/newish players (recruiting)
His problem is that he's using Vista, which apparently makes things very different. I was helping him with getting his pretender in by e-mail, it sounded really quite tricky actually. I've never even seen Vista myself, which doesn't help.
To answer previous questions/comments: StrictlyRockers - having 8 players on this map gives you about 15 provinces each, which is perhaps a little smaller than average for multiplayer. I think you might meet people faster than you think.
Ubercat - yep, you're right about how quickhost works.
I'm not quite sure what to do about Xanatos, since he seemed quite keen (by e-mail). I think if he doesn't at least make contact by tonight (when 48 hours are up) I will take his turn for him and start looking for a sub.
