Or as I call it, "Master Enslave". Bwahaha!!!

Excellent - that will certainly do the job. Even better would be the possibility of changing the master password mid-game, so it could be re-secured after being used.

Still, even without that, the master password is most welcome. Thanks.

BTW, our game has moved to turn 2 without any further comment from whoever-it-was that complained of a non-working password. Perhaps it was a hoax, or perhaps the working password was discovered. Fingers crossed that all is well.

Kewl. If the master password were kept in an external file (unencrypted even) I think that would allow more good things than bad. It would still be only host accessable.

Other nice features, it would allow you to use a god you have forgotten the password on. Make a game and review the stats he had so you can remake him with a password you know.

By the way, if you did go to the bother of encrypting the "master password" somehow I wouldnt mind if you shifted that code to the CD key file instead.

i need to restart the game.

Somehow I uploaded the wrong Mictlan pretender. I also cannot even take my turn because I get a strange error message, "Wrong gnumber". The error appears when I press, "No, reselect my nation".

gnumber is not a spelling mistake.

Strange, I'm getting that error in both my games.

Well I'd restart but I don't have time. Ned to goto school.

Until a dev pops in I will make a wild guess. Id say gnumber might be god number. And the problem might be if you created any new gods then put the player files in to try and restart the game? Something like that? Well a mismatch of some sort.

Are you using a dedicated icon to host the game from different directorys then the ones you yourself play on? That way the player stuff doesnt overwrite your stuff (like their gods)

Many thanks for dealing with my Mictian issue, I will sacrifice a nice plump slave in your honor come fall.
