I have both Pirates and Castle versions, and will be buying the Atlantis version
when it releases later.
I too struggled with how to put it into the LUGNET database. For my sets
database, I used a fake number. Not having a number available makes the release
tough. I've been through all the documentation looking for a good way to

Once a solution is found, I'll get the sets put in.
