HOSTING INSTRUCTIONS / SETTINGS

Game speed = FAST
Pop cap = 500
Map = explored
Starting age = Feudal age (first age)
IMPORTANT: Locked teams

If you host this is the civ list you must paste:

Team 1: P1 Teutons (Gondor) - P2 Slavs (DolAmroth) - P3 Mongols (Rohan) / TEAM 2: P4 Incas (Mordor) - P5 Celts (Misty mountain orcs) - P6 Persians (Harad) - P7 Indians (Gundabad)

WHEN HOSTING allow a 1/2 minute paused time upon launching the game to allow the defenders and attackers to READ HINTS.

Also, make sure the participants' pings are green.

If you may notice that the units stutter while marching it's because they are in the "tight formation", switch to the "chessboard" formation to avoid this occasional issue.
