Erm, lads, bit of a problem (which I put down tentatively to my newbishness)
I connected to the game just then, uploaded a pretender, then re-entered and started the game. I didn't see any other players there, but thought that might be normal so I entered the game and played my first turn. I didn't see any other pretender gods in the info screens and got a little worried, and, sure enough, I was able to play the next turn and I was declared the winner (and also had a rather nice +1500 gold event btw
).
My first MP game ending in comprehensive victory, I'm so happy!
But really, what happened?
Cheers,
Meursy
