So?
Now that you read it again, what game are you going to give us?
Your server is getting rusty.

My preferences would be

BLIND EMAIL because you know how I love a game with ore backstabbing and paranoia

MOD AI's but I see you are asking he mod experts for some suggestions there. Don't do a map for soloists with it. Do a game for us

Same as MOD AI's but mix in MEGA-GAME (all 62 nations and AIs filling to 80 players) and also HEADSTART the AI's 10 or 20 turns

Maybe your CHAOS stuff, or the one with a mod that randomly changes things all thru the game. But only if it's offered instead of the others I mentioned.\
Get on the ball G!

Wikd,

If you want to run a game you can - you're welcome to use my server. You can set it up exactly as you like, blind e-mail, whatever.

I'm not entirely sure why I say this because you're probably the most/only objectionable person on this forum, but still - if you want this stuff it is entirely possible. It would be nice to see you contribute something for a change.

Oh don't sound like S-Hombre. At least I never offered to do anything. I'm just prodding G to do something with his server. G knows he needs a good prod. Nobody want those blitz games anymore and a perfectly good server is going to waste.

But it might help if some other nicer talking people maybe offer G some suggestions on what THEY would like him to put on the server. Mega is covered. Emails is covered thanks to you LLamabeast. So what is still not out there for multiplay games? If we don't prod him then he will just do more maps or offer up free ideas for other people to do or diddling in Basic. The server was the only thing that (a fairly large crowd) didnt laugh at.

Ive seen the logs of some of those conversations Wikd. Obviously that doesnt bother me.

But..
I wouldnt mind a few more (please some other people) suggestions on what to do with the server. It does seem as though 2-4 player blitzs on standard Dom3 maps is getting stale.

BUMP BUMP BUMP
Did anything happen with this thread?
Do we have any numbers on what people really want?

[Gandalf Parker]

Yes yes yes tho I was hoping for somemore input from other people.

Actually I did look at my sites log. I was surprised to see so much activity on some (and so little on others).

One thing it spurred me to do is that I did look at the "Poke in the Eye" map again. I tried to fix the problem with indept castles being too easy to capture but my first try at it created worse problems. In any case, the zip has been updated to include the new units (some of which arent in the game yet).

Until I iron out the indept castles thing I dont think I will be turning on the daily updates to it like the Dom2 version had.

Recommended game settings for best AI seems to be:
A) turn up supplies
B) turn down resources
C) for THIS map, turn down indepts altho usually you should turn that up for AIs

Im guessing that higher money might also help. Not sure on special site frequency (probably turn it down). Im also not sure if AI is better with large or small Hall of Heroes (probably larger?).

What seems to be the particular problem with your Poke in the Eye map and your fix?

Is there a particular thread - oh, you just created it now. I'll move my commentary on this to it.
