Default Re: Is anyone having fun with this game?

Heehee. My wife asked what I was doing. I have Dom3 running on 3 different machines from my desktop (it could be 5 but that would just be insane). She is surprised that I havent loaded it on her machine and LAN'd it into the mix.
I guess maybe Im addicted.

My Old Desktop Machine:
Playing a solo testing the variables on my EA Pangaea before I post it here

My New Dual-Processing Desktop:
running random tests on the map generation trying to figure out how the map color commands work

My Newer Linux Server:
running a script over and over to try and create a huge maximum settings map that I like. When I get one I want I will start serving some huge games on it while I work on fixing any bad neighbor commands. Then I will start modifying the provinces to get a map that is downloadable since I dont think too many people can generate one this big. On my server (which is also doing internet for a couple of hundred people) it takes 2-3 hours to generate one map.
11000x11000 pixels
1500 provinces
20% water
50% mountains (creates a maze/labyrinth style map)
anti-alias smoothing on and special colors

the Older Linux Server:
is also running Dom3. Many blitz and demo games
