I don't much care about the other settings, but I'd suggest indie strength above 4. Britain's pretty small, less than 9 land provinces apiece. A little more resistance to the initial land grabs might make it more interesting. We're going to be fighting soon enough anyway.

In a few test starts, I was usually at war with the AI by turn 10. Either they or I were boxed in before then.

Alright, I'll have mine up tonight I think. Tomorrow morning for sure.

I put my pretender in for Ulm.

What's the IP? I tried connecting and it wouldn't let me.

On such a crowded map I think that I'll drop out. Well, that and the fact that I'm house-sitting for my cousin, and don't have my computer with me till monday.

That being said, I do agree with theJeff's suggestions for higher indis; 6 i would suggest.

So, next point of business, if anyone decides that they no longer have time to play (assuming you start before monday), I'll happily either sub for a couple of turns, or take over entirely. Just say the word. you can reach me at markoos at mail.utexas.edu . There we go.

I was able to connect and upload a pretender last night, somewhen between ioticus's and Arholly's posts.

I tried again later and again this morning and couldn't connect, so something has changed on Hubris site.

cryingdevil:
It should be simple.

Have your pretender designed.
Network
Connect to Server
Enter the IP/URL (from Hubris post above)
Enter the port
It'll give you a list of kingdoms
Select yours
Don't push "Start Game"

That's it. Of course you'll have to wait until the server's back up.
