I'm in if there's still room, army undecided as of yet.

I've gotten 3 of the same emails already as well. Sometimes I open a turn and can't play it through so close it to return to later, not sure if that is the case here or not, don't think I've accepted any challenges the last several days but have issued quite a few.

I've seen someone mention that doing this should cut down on the AI's neverending peasant human waves, but can't figure out how to do it... I've been playing with the squads.txt file, am assuming that "Peasant Levy" is the "ID 28 InfantryStandard Levy" (seems to have the lowest ranking), but can't ...
