You cant disregard solo play "because the AI sucks" and then say that balance has no place in it. There are mods for balance which apply only to solo games and improving the AI but they tend to run drastically opposite of any balance effort for competition play.

Links? For what? the games Ive played? Most that I openly played under my own name here were in beta group. You tend to burn out on competitive MP after a couple years. For me that was in Dom2. But sometimes an interesting variation can get my attention. Such as the wiki game where everyone was required to write AARs which I joined (and so did Kristoffer). But the latest was YARG1 which I think is still going on. Come up with something interesting and maybe I will join in your game.
Actually I almost thought you would like the idea for overlords, since it was so different and kind of RPish. But then, it turned out pretty poorly in the exact opposite direction of what most people expected


Edit: Sorry chrisp, so, this game huh? I am thinking setting TC AI now would be fine. They have little opportunity to attack the rest of their team mates, and they have a bunch of mages scripted to retreat that would be best not to do so many more times.
