Would be nice if the battle creator could choose to allow players to join an existing game. I assume it's not yet possible?

Really? I though start would still put you in spectate and rejoin was only if you were previously in the game. I'll try it. Thx

oh you mean not as spectator.
Sorry I do not know then, but I think it is only possible in cheatmode

There is no full-fledged midgame join at the moment. You can use cheats to emulate it but the new guy will have to share units with an existing player (like in SC2 archon mode) and it requires manual intervention.

First, decide whom the new guy will join. You can say 
/info
which toggles a list of people's IDs. Enable cheats 
!cheats
Then the new guy just does 
/team <id>
with cheats enabled.

I heard that Spring now has the equivalent commands as lua functions so a gadget could be made to join rejoiners to particular teams. I don't know how the UI would work though because the rejoiner would see the entire game up until the point that they hit real time.

It can add people to teams but cannot create new teams, so you'd still have to share. Possibly springie could just send a bunch of empty teams to fill in but that might break various assumptions in widgets.

That would be an awesome feature. Add a new player at any time. If the players are uneven, force him to join the smaller team.
Maybe with a poll to allow a new player in, or wait until 2 players shows up to join.

But most probably not possible.

Maybe it's OK to have to share units. Wouldn't be too fair to the other team for the opponent to suddenly get another commander and factory in the middle of the game. Just work from what is existing.
