Wanted to start a hands-off game with all AIs, but the game reported the system error with the error code:8.
Is there a way of the hands-off game?

Unfortunately not. I understand the interest, but unlike say Strategic Command where you can do this and then stop the game and retake control of a side, this game does not have that capability. The closest you can get is to maybe play Turkey or Spain and try to be an observer from the sidelines, until you have to fight somebody. Also, the AI still needs some grand strategy programming to make the current game more interesting, so a hands-off game would not be too satisfying. AI grand strategy is on my to-do list for this next version, so we'll see how that goes.

Perhaps once I get the other issues on my plate resolved, I could look into at least some way for a solitaire player to have access to the PBEM admin menu to change players and make other adjustments.

Thank you, Bill. It deserves respect for updating this game over the years with so many improvements.
The grand strategies for AI sound wonderful, look forward to seeing how AI performs in the next version.
