Okay, last part does overlap. Acceptable!
All of the allies permitted in the army lists are historical. (Even if sometimes the date ranges don't match - e.g. Germanic Horse Tribes in Byzantine 551- list, representing Heruli, outside the normal date range of the Germanic Horse Tribes list).

The Picts and Saxons arise again.. I just set up a DL game v cromlechi. Picts 210 with Saxons 449 allies. It says it onscreen. He tells me that I haven't added allies.. what is going on?
He is Side A Picts and Saxons and I am Side B Romans.

Maybe a misunderstanding?

He is an experienced DL player so I am fairly sure he knows what the Saxons look like.. perhaps a bug with allies? I sent him another message so let’s see.

Yes, a screenshot (same as yours, or from the army list units) would probably sort things out. But is this a DL issue? More Tech Support, I reckon?

You can’t use attachments for PMs as far as I know. He says maybe he missed the allies. All a bit strange.

Great! So hopefully a misunderstanding after all, and no bug. (Regarding his screenshot, my idea was that he could then have posted it as part of a bug report in the Tech Support section. If he had had no allies on his side, despite you having set him up with allies.)

The player, who issue the match, take Side A and the opponent Side B. And after the deployment, the player in Side A make the first move. I follow this rule for my games.
As side B, I often move first. Once you have completed deployment you can move your troops before ending the turn.

I started doing this for some games. It does speed up the game because your opponent can pick his army straight away.

I always set up my challenges as side B, it makes starts much faster - an important issue for me as most players are on the opposite side of the world from me.

As a Side B player, i complete the deployment and hit the end turn. I leave the first move to Side A player.

So you deliberately don't make any moves your first turn as Side B?

I don't get this.
As I understand it, setting up the battle as Side B results in the following:
1. Side A picks up the challenge.
2. Side A deploys his/her units.
3. Side B deploys his/her units.
4. Side B makes his/her first moves.
5. Side A makes his/her first moves.
And then we're off!
Thus, side B makes the moves first in the battles. Or do I misunderstand, or recall incorrectly?

When you are in the deployment phase as a Side B player, you have two options. 1) Deploy your troops, make the first move and hit the end turn button, 2) deploy your troops and hit the end turn button.
I choose the second option.
One explanation of my choice is, that the battle starts after the deployment phase. In the deployment phase you can see the big red words ENEMY LINES in the map. This indicates, that you are in the deployment phase. A second explanation is, that it is noble (an act of chivalry) to leave the first move to the Side A player, who issue the match.

So it is deliberate after all; your choice, I mean? That was why I was confused.

The best word is voluntarily, not deliberately.

This is the case currently, but will change in the next update, so that both sides only get to deploy in their first turn, and then SideA gets the actual 1st move.

OK, thanks. And after the update: when a player picks up the challenge, which side (A or B) will get the game in his/her My Turn folder?

Always A, same as now.
