No LA Ulm. Is all this trouble really worth it? I've only played PBEM and that seems to work fine. What is the advantage of using a server?

The advantage is about 20 mouse clicks less per turn

The problem is mixing up all the eras and not so much the method of play.

I have a single age pbem game going on w friends and it was easy to set up: I just edited the singleage.dm file to take into account the latest nations because it's not up to date, but why aren't we using this instead of global.dm?

I can try setting up the server again to see if that will help.

Sometimes with this mod I have noticed it helps to start a single-player game first with the mods enabled. That helps the mod activate or something. Then try to log on to the server.

It was working just a while ago.. I am confused.

One thing I did was to just use the same folder as the first time and just start the server again. So people who had previously uploaded their gods probably don't have to do so again.

I think we just need those who didn't upload their gods to do it, and then we can start.

No worries CUnknown. It's just the good magician Murphy getting his say in. We will get there.

Looking at the server, the following players have loaded up their gods:

Tuidjy - MA Pythium
Ylvali - EA Sauromatia
CUnknown - MA Ulm
Marignon - who is this?? should I set Marignon to 'closed?'
Hoplosternum - MA Tien Chi
DryaUnda - MA Machaka
Kheldron - MA Pangea
Sicaire - MA C'tis
Cerlin - MA Abysia
Folket - MA Bandar Log
Shinuyama - who is this??
IndyPendant - MA Ryleh
Rathar - LA Ermor
Fal - EA Lanka
Randvek LA Mictlan
otthegreat LA Ulm

The following players have not loaded up their gods:
DonCorazon - EA Tir Na Nog
Moderation - LA Arcosephale
QM (undecided on faction)

QM which one are you?

So, we are just waiting on two people I think. Qm is probably either Marignon or Shinuyama.
