Now THE ultimate masohistic challenge for hard-core Dominions2 veterans would be to win such "one nation-excluded" Version of your "nasty Orania" map like I've described above, WITH Gandalf-style modification of alliance system between AIs - meaning nasty edition of orania with all races beefed up but yours, and with all AIs set on Impossible and allied against you.

Actually, the ally command has no affect if the nation is a human player, and of course no effect if the nation isnt included in the game. An ally command of 1 to 2, automatically allies 2 to 1 also. So he could add the commands such as
#allies 1 2
#allies 1 3
#allies 1 4
for all the combinations of the 17 nations. It would only kick in for AIs added to the game. And it would keep the AI's from attacking each other to concentrate on you. What would such a scenario be called? Orania Insane? Orania Armageddon? Might be fun for a multiplayer game where 3 or 4 human players would DEFINITELY be smart to form their own alliance against the AI's.

Of course you could also use notepad to add those commands to the .map you downloaded from him if you wanted to test this idea.
