Default Great way to manage multiple multiplayer games

This suggestion was from Arameyan and is buried in the Graemes EA game thread. I finally took the time to set this up today and it is such a HUGE time saver that everyone involved in more then one game should do it.

Start by
1.) Right Clicking on your desktop
2.) Select New Shortcut
3.) Browser To Dominions (Cogram files\dominions\dom3.exe)
4.) Name it whatever
5.) Once the shortcut is created, right click and choose properties. Then edit the shortcut as described below.
6.) Modify the IP, and port to match your game. The rest can stay the same.

Obviously you can do it quicker if you are comfortable with the window shortcut creation and editing. But the step by could be useful if you are not.

-------------

If u want in windows you can create one shortcut for each Dom3 mp game. Just modify the path of a Dom3 shortcut this way (for example):

"C:\Program Files\dominions3\dom3.exe" --tcpclient --ipadr 68.148.13.231 --port 10101 --nonationsel

this is very fast and u can create bilions of shortcuts, one for each mp game (just keep one non-modified shortcut for obvious reasons). I renamed mine:

"Agartha EA MP"

You can rename yours:

"The Agartha-is-too-stong EA game"

It sure is. I run five games at once that way.

I also put the --nocredits tag on there to exit the game faster as well.
