Did you managed to make random generated maps produce random opponents as well? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

If so I must congratulate you. http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk...e/pftroest.gif

There are map commands for designating AI players, and the alliance command no one seems to use. It works better to have a program you can tell to leave out who you want to play. But to make it available to all I had to generate a game for each nation which leaves that nation available. Re-randomized daily.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Are you opposed to giving out the script/program that builds the random maps? I imagine with some time and effort I could hack together a perl script to do the job, but if one already exists... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

But its a BASIC program. YABasic actually (yet another basic) which I like because I can run the same code on my linux server and my windows machine. If you download yabasic you can run it. Or its just a text file so glance thru it to snag whatever is useful. It would probably perl-up nicely. http://www.dom2minions.com/~dominion/opponents.yab
I do alot of map making by program. Check them out at www.dom2minions.com

How does one go about adding music? Is the only way to replace the 3 falso.sw files, or can you add more on top of them?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That way, yes, Or you can play a CD with the media player while you play dominions.
Like I said, maybe not great answers but they are possible.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">There was one. It seems to have fallen out. Probably needs updating badly. Feel free to locate it and revive it.

I fully agree. I didnt realize that these were things which people requested frequently, except for the posting reverse order (which has nothing to do with the game) and game saves.

My only question is: Where do you get these fabulous Graemlins (those two smilies hitting each other with sticks)?
