Default Re: My 2 wishes for Dominions 3!!

Its a good idea but I dont know if I want Johan to put it in the gaeme.

GameSpy and such lobbys are available for download. Someone could probably look into making it work with Dom3 (and Dom2 for that matter)

The concept of lobby is closer to the concept of the web servers for games. And the headaches involved with security, compatability, being load friendly, etc is a whole new truckload of garbage for a programmer to bang their head on. Especially since the same thing, at various levels, could be easily done by modifing something like a chat or forum or bbs package.

I think something like that would best be done by a 3rd party programmer. And as was done with my requests, and Esben Mose Hansens requests, I am sure that Johan would be more than willing to consider putting in any switches or handles which such a program would want.
