well i have played my first multiplayer game with a friend 1vs1 and we had a pretty good time.  there were a few things though that i would like some feedback on from other people, and the devs.  first is the autoresolve issue.  my friend attacked me in my base with his sov.  he was expecting to zap my army with chain lightning which is a AOE spell.  since he was attacker he went first.  well, apparently it hit only a single unit.  here is a pic.

the second thing is that he also expected to not get hit by my offensive spells because he had protect unit cast on his sov.  does this apply to damage spells? or perhaps just spells that do status affects?

the one other problem i had was that you are suppose to be able to save and load games, but we had a crash during the first game and i was looking to reload it but the load game button was grayed out.  is there a way to manually save games?  has this feature yet to be implemented?  just wondering.  as far as everything else, it was the most fun i have had with game so far. can't wait until multiplayer is fleshed out even more.

edit: sorry for my poor snip skills.  still new to this tool.
