Re: A simple fix

Many simple fixes have been suggested. But the first question is whether or not they are looking for a fix. A large game is considered to be 18-25 nations on a 500 province map.
Has anyone gotten a game to the point that the cap is a problem and sent it in?

Ive run games with 79 nations on 1500 province maps set to auto-host immeadiately. Ive run them for days and hundreds of turns without a problem.

At the risk of (again) irritating the crap out of everyone, this sounds like less of a fix and more of a desired feature. And if anyone is going to want it that would be me. Im the one pushing the 1500 province maps and games that include all 3 ages of nations at the same time. And IF that runs into the unit cap then I at least would have a reason to ask for the increase.

Well then the best long term solution would be to create an "advanced options" section. A location where the host can specify the maximum number of units on the map and/or battlefield. A location where the host can specify how long a battle should last until the attacker is forced to flee. A location where the host can disable the death match arena because the AI opponents blindly send their large pretenders. Your customers with the more powerful computers can benefit at the same time your customers with the old computers will not suffer.
Creating this advanced options section places all the blame/yelling on the individual hosting the game instead of at the developers.

That would be a fantastic solution. If that is too much work simple dom3.exe switches to enable/disable some advanced options would work as well...
