I figured custom maps was a hastle. I'd stick with random then. Your server works great for "Let's play right now" games. Which to me is blitz. You grab a few people who have a couple hours "right now" and play something. Random up some nations, toss out some maybe decent pretenders, and play.

Anything else is more suited to organizing on the forums and setting up a custom game.

But your direct connect is better than any PBEM for blitz. Speed is the essence.
