I should confirm, this is patch O with the zombie fix, right?
Darrell
Yes. I think all of RB has been on that since PBEM1 ended. Hopefully sunrise can get this sorted for us (and we can publish exactly what we did so that the next time it works more smoothly).

Oh, don't mind him, that's just Thoth being Thoth.  Don't get him started on the topic of temptation...

I used to do direct IP through Hamachi. Should work to set up Pitboss if you're still having connection problems.

I haven't gotten anything to work yet. If you want to give it a try, I'll finish off my turn and pass the save on. Or we can wait for sunrise.
I really don't think adding another program to my list of things to learn tonight would help matters, though  .

I couldn't stand looking at "Mardoc has the save" any longer. So I passed it onto Thoth, we'll see how long he can hold it. Or hopefully someone who knows what they're doing, like sunrise, will intervene quickly enough that Thoth doesn't have to test his willpower.

We might want to hang on to the save before the turn ends. Hyborem starts with a settler, and would pretty much settle on the first turn if the AI plays it.
Guess we should let the Infernal player get his choice of starting capital location.

If so, then I do think you can convert that AI to a new human by using the Pitboss approach. Host the save as a Pitboss, have Darrell connect to it, and choose Hyborem from the civ list. He'll be prompted to create a password. Tried this. Hyborem is not an option on the civ list, which means modified DLL is required.

Not at all an expert at this stuff but would Mist replaying the summoner's save, having the summoner swap to Hyborem, then trying the Pitboss approach to assign the summoner's old civ to a human player a viable approach?

No. There are only 6 open Human slots, any side over that number becomes an AI. So if summoner took the swap his former civ would become the unchooseable one. And it would have a downside of having AI play the reminder of summoners turn.
And out of curiosity, I have checked, it's not possible to choose 'AI Takeover' when starting a new PBEM game in FFH. All future PBEMs will need to be started as a Pitboss from WorldBuilder save and then converted back.

If there are still 6 open slots, then might just work. Bannor has already... unfortunately perished.
