help for MP
 

OK... I'm a complete newbie trying to get my first mp game up and going on that mosehansen server thingy. Can anyone tell me what the values under the game description mean, like does quickhost "1" mean it is set up for automatic 24 hour hosting? Does research "1" signify standard research? What about eventrarity "1" and richness "2"?

Also... in a small digression... can anyone tell me how to get an avatar on this forum?

The options are essentially just the command line options. E.g.

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;"> --eventrarity X Random event rarity 1-2, 1=common 2=rare</pre><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">So 1 means common, 2 rare. As for richness, 1 is poor and 3 is rich.

The hosting interval is the time between each hosting... internally, this is always in minutes but when creating a game the unit is selectable.

Quickhost is just a checkbox. Checking it means that the game hosts as soon as all turns are in, not waiting for the next scheduled hosting time.

You can change your avatar from "my profile"->"View/Update profile".

Hope it helps
