I'm really hoping I can head-off any first turn stales. Will wait another few hours and if I still haven't heard anything from Mictlan (still confident PsiSoldier will be ok) then I'll try looking for a sub.

Although at this point I'd like to take a quick vote if I can. If Mictlan does need to be subbed, should I do any / all of ........

1) Offer the sub a restart so that they can design their own Mictlan Pretender.
2) Offer the sub a new random non-water nation and of course a restart.
3) Drop Mictlan, and restart with 13 nations.
4) Let the game run and hope a sub can be found for Mictlan who is happy to sub-into the game as is.
5) Turn Mictlan AI.

My own vote would probably be for 3, as that should ensure the quickest restart. Since options 1 or 2 would need extra time due to Pretender designing, and I really don't want to see 4 or 5 happen, And I think that would give someone too much of an unfair advantage early on. As we all know the AI can't handle the EA/LA Mictlan dominion.

Please can everyone let me know their thoughts on this.
