Looking for players...

I'm having trouble finding opponents interested in quick games on small maps. Anyone else notice this deficientcy in the MP game selection?

Yes,

I have also noticed that no one seems to be playing multiplayer games on small maps. (It seems like the vast majority of games are played on Orania or comparably sized maps).

hmm... perhaps we could use this thread to orginize a quick small-scale game. I would be willing to host in if we played in blitz format, because I can't keep Online 24/7.

I would prefer more faster games on smaller maps too. I'd be interested in either standard 24hrs hosting game on a small map ("crowded" is ok too) or semi-blitz on small map. One session to do dozen or 2 turns, further either scheduled sessions or quickhosting with 24hrs force-host. Acutally, if there're only 4-6 players in similar timezones, few turns can be done in the same day.

I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with the term "semi-blitz". What does it mean?

I think he means starting as a blitz game, then changing to 24-hour host. BTW, it turns out my computer is not powerfull enough to run the simultaneous Dom II windows needed to host all games but PBEMs. However, most comuters can handle blitz hosting, so using that format there should be little trouble finding a host.
