So far only one person claims to have been able to access the server. So a 20 person game may not happen.

I'm not sure why you are worried that the game may not happen? Perhaps it is due to inexperience with the game starting process? Allow me to clarify - this is only the pretender uploading stage of the game. What you will do is build your pretender, then connect to the server and select your nation. Once this is done, your pretender will be uploaded and you can exit. When everyone's pretender is in, THEN the game will begin on a 24hr period.

It freezes on "Waiting for game info" for me

Hmm, it appears someone has clicked "Start Game". Its my fault for not having taken that option away to begin with. I will reset the server and make sure that option doesnt appear. Right now we are only uploading pretenders, not starting the game

Unfortunately, I can't fiddle with the server until I get out of work, which will be around 7pm PST today. Sorry for the delay guys, but these things happen occassionaly.

It appears i cannot connect at all, iirc mine also freezes when waiting for info (then a few minutes later i get a nagot gick fel)

My attempts to connect have been unsuccessful so far. I'll keep trying when I can though.

There is no point in trying to connect. He is going to restart it, see:

Apparently you can recruit Helhirdings from any fort, but you are not supposed to be able to. So I will only recruit Helhirdings from my capital. Obviously there will be no way for any of you to know this, but I figured that I would go ahead and tell all of you anyways. I might as well play them the way they are supposed to be played.

Thanks for that, i just hope vanheim does something similar (or dosnt take a bless and uses its amazingly underpriced troops with glamour)

Well said. I have in fact restarted it now. Everyone will need to re-upload thier pretenders. Additionally, I am pretty sure I removed the "Start Game" button (i used -noclientstart this time) but if you do see that button, do everyone a favor and dont press it. Just upload your pretender and disconnect.

My apologies again for the delay, but its actually good experience for you guys. MP games sometimes take a bit of work to get started, what with organizing everyone and getting them on the same page. Once they are up and running its pretty smooth tho.

Anyway, everyone upload your pretenders.
