Still have the server up this morning. I notice several people logged in and played last night, so that's cool. I should be logged in and practicing my sword skills pretty much all day, as to progress much in this mod I need to solve a problem I am having with getting the metsubushi implemented.
Also, I have been considering the bots. I think wee need four separate categories: melee infantry, ranged infantry, melee cavalry, and ranged cavalry. There are no separate unit types to command at this point, just troops with different stats. This really matters for strategy purposes. I don't want this to be a "bot-based" mod, but I want as many options as possible. Ninja armies can be fun.
EDIT: Also, I need to specifically know:
* When you are on my server and a smoke bomb or fireworks is thrown by another player or a bot, can you hear the sound effects?
* And can you hear the ambient soundtrack in the background (wolves, crickets, wind, birds, frogs, etc.)?
You WILL be able to hear these things on any local server you make, but I need to test if it will work that way on an internet server. Let me know!
