Hmm, you've chopped off the actual error, but I suspect that you might 
not have the player address, name or password listed. You need to have 
them for regular Atlantis too, I think. If you put those in, it should 
work. If not, let me know :)

Yep, it has stalled for a while. There wasn't a huge amount of interest, 
and I have a distinct lack of free time at the moment. That may change 
at some point this year, but not for the next couple of months at least. 
I am available for questions though :)

My plan btw, was to get the reports readable in ALH and run another game 
as a second test platform while I added more stuff (cities, monsters, 
etc.). You're welcome to follow that plan, or create your own.
