		The unrest thing has been scrapped.  So has the game master mod.  Also, various updates.

		Change "normal nations" to "normal nations or independents" in the overlords section and that should pretty much cover it. We did wonder a bit in IRC about if we should keep the gatestones. Even if the overlords can't attack caps, it might be a bit too much to have them take all the provs next door to a normal cap using the pretender rule and their gate stone early on. But maybe not.

		I think the gatestones add the flavor to the game. I would not scrap them.

		How about national globals, like Carrion Woods. They are banned too for non-overlords? What about spells like Wild Hunt?

		All globals are overlord only.  Honestly I doubt a normal nation would have much luck trying to cast a global anyway with the extreme lack of gems. 
 
I think the gatestones add flavor to the game also, and I'm not inclined to scrap them.

		I will play an overlord, if needed. Rdonj's inclusion of me seems a bit inconclusive.
