Thanks Llama. Yes that makes sense and is just the sort of thing I want to do. So master and player mods it will be. I'll check Arralen's thread though first because as GP says a lot can be done with the map anyway.
Chrispederson - the sort of thing you are suggesting would be very interesting. I would like to see some expanded random events etc. But it does sound a little complicated, in a mp game there is bound to be one or two people who forget the order or something goes wrong. I could see a lot of delays happening
And it's not something I need for the game I am planning. But good luck if you give it a go! I'd play!
Thanks for all your replies. The preperation for this game is going to take a while
