Stupid question. I'm joining OutRiders in addition to this, and they're both network games. Is there a way around having to reenter the addresses and ports each time I want to play a turn?

Yes, command line switches. Like " -C --ipadr <GAMEHOST> --port <GAMEPORT>". GP will love to tell you how to create a bunch of icons for that on your desktop, I don't want to take that fun away from him.

Under Linux, making an alias in your .bashrc is enough.

Thanks, I'll fool around with that for a while. What's the -C switch for? And do I leave the address and port within the < >?

You find that out with the "--help" parameter.

Yes, of course.

Actually no. (I think you misunderstood the question)

You use the actual address (or port) instead of the whole
<GAMEHOST>(or <GAMEPORT>). "<" and ">" do not appear in the actual command.

Thank you, this'll be a great help. I'll have to figure it out later, thogh. Right now it won't boot from my shortcut, but I have to run to work.

"C:\Games\Dominions 3\dom3.exe" --noglext --C --ipadr dominions3.dy.fi --port 2222

I just made my turn in with 4 seconds to spare. Would it be possible to set the quickhost to 25 hours instead of 24? I'll still send things in as early as possible, but sometimes events conspire to make it just barely impossible to get a turn in without giving only partial orders.
