I haven't had time to start tracking it down. Also, i only seem to be able to add one PC country. When i go to add the second, it says "next available country = 0" (or words to that effect) and chucks me out. This is supposed to happen when the player array fills up, but i've counted the NPC nations and there should still be some room. Do the random guys (pirates, barbarians, etc.) take up space in the same array? Should i just make the array bigger? --Andrew Kobayashi
