Default Re: Solo scenarios, can someone make them ? ;)

I had a start on the subject.
http://www.techno-mage.com/~dominion/Dominions2/

Take the Abysia.map if you want to play Abysia. All you have to do is choose to play Abysia as a human player and start the game. It has randomly selected opponents at random levels which will kick in as AI opponents. The maps are rerolled every day. You actually can play them MP since it will let you select any race not already marked as AI by the map.

If there was interest I was going to increase their difficulty and set them up as daily re-rolled. All of what you say is quite possible if there is a map for each nation. It could also be setup to allow playing any combination of nations you want. If there is one map with extras added then any human player also so it would take a map for each nation to insure that nation is excluded from benefits.

Would we want these to re-use a map image from the demo (which I did for the ones that are up now)? Use one of the larger maps from the full game? Or can someone make us one we can use over and over?

The only hard part to do well would be if we wanted to go as far as randomly assigning extra units all over. For that to be done well involves a unit database to interface to terrain settings (something Im looking at now). So lets leave that possiblity off for now.
