Unexpected neutral defenders
I'd played a couple single player games on the Aran map, and we fairly familiar with the general amount of expected resistance against level 5 neutrals. Then a friend of mine and I started a multi-player game on that map (direct IP connection to a linux server), and I was very surprised to be finding many unique defenders, named commanders, commanders with items and gems, etc as the neutral defenders. In addition, I noticed that the crowns (indicating the victory point provinces) were being displayed despite the fact I'd made sure victory points were turned off. The game was setup using the non-graphical interface.
I'm wondering if all those features are just a normal side effect of a multiplayer game, or if there's something else going on. Anyone?
