On a different note, is it just me or are the independants unusually strong in this game?

You can see the independents strength under Options > Game options, in-game.

Not good news for the noob team, at a crucial early stage, something I feared might happen, but not a fatal blow either.

Either that or wait till Darloth can get back up and in the game.

I had anticipated this, that was the purpose of having alternates. We need more for both teams.

Independent strength is set at 6, it's also noted on the main page of the thread. Though, they do seem rather strong. Though I think 6 is managable. Another way to alter the speed of the game (expansion-wise) is via this option, I was considering lowering it had we kept the orginal larger map.

Oh, I didn't even notice they were turned up a notch, heh. It's just strange having so many independants near my capitol. Oh well, nothing that interesting.

Can we get into contact with one of the substitutes then? I'm not sure if it will complain about the cd-key if I try another turn as Darloth.

I'll see if Tifone is interested in a temp sub for Jomon. Meanwhile, lets do what we can to bring in some more alternates.

I've tried to contact Jachra, possibly known as Jachranit, as a sub for me. Please set Jomon's turn-email to jachranit@gmail.com - that should clear things up. I've also taken steps to recover my harddrive, best case tuesday, worst case next week saturday, I hope.

In case that doesn't pan out I may have found someone willing to sub a position for us.

Yeah, it will. I don't know if it is a fairly recent change, but you can't play two nations in a game from the same CD-Key. You get that message, and then the turn orders are ignored.

I've had it happen to me in two recent games where I was trying to set a staling nation to AI.
