Just briefly, I would like to reiterate that I find Vanheim too strong on all map sizes in single player. Most folks are talking about MP, but I want to raise this again. I think a tone down associated with costs will help address this.

Also, Gandalf, thank you for the ideas on random maps and working to get it part of the vanilla game. One of the weaknesses of Dom II was the limited number of maps available without downloading. The random maps add a great deal to the playing experience for the game, “out of the box.”

Thanks for the thanks. Its good for people to "pay" for free things by thanking the ones that have helped accomplish stuff that someone would like to see more of.

But I really havent seen the Van problem in solo games. I dont think Van has won a single one of mine. Of course I do tend to play really large maps with lots of choke-points, very hard independents, and in MP games its usually a victory point game. Those things tend to create a very different playing field.
