Nothing. I printed out over 50 pages of rules which I placed in a folder
with easy to use references sticking out. I studied the rules, the order
formats, and downloaded the easy-to-use graphic client ("Magellan" I think
it was called). Then I tried to send in orders for three different positions
8 times or more, but I never got it right. Not one order was processed.
Tried get some help with the game, but never got any response. It's a free
game, so probably no one have the time for clumsy people like me.

What strikes me though, is that there might be more stories like mine out
there, not necessarily with Eressea, but with a whole lot of games.

The slow pace and the theme and all was what I wanted, but alas!

Nice to hear you've got it up and running. Have a nice game!
