Master of Magic Clone WIP - Map Generation in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Hey all, As a long time fan of Master of Magic I have kicked around the idea of doing a fan remake of the game for some time. With the release of Unity 2.5 for Windows I found a game engine that has the power to do everything I want to do while being simple enough for me to understand (I'm a SQL / Cold Fusion / Javascript programmer not a C++ programmer). Here is my map generation WIP - <a href="http://www.pittsburghautisticspectrum.org/Test/Map_Creation.

Can't play online - 'A player has left the game' in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

I get into the game and then in the first second of the game my network connection drops and I get a "A player has left the game" message and all the PCs get taken over by AIs (AKA I was the one that dropped).

Check your stats on the web site. My guess is that these games are not being counted due to connection issues.
