Thanks Truper, well done, I have not played blitz games on a TCP'ie thingymyjig before, so thanks for the CLEAR, concise idiots guide.

Show me code like Gandalf Parker did and my brain shuts down.

Will try 1 or 2 now.

Lets see if I understand correctly, the pocedure, this thread is like throwing done a gauntlet, I start a blitz game, then issue a challenge in this thread giving the port no., yes?

Someone takes up the challenge, we blitz away at each another. I presume once I have done my turn, opponents done his, the games hosts automatically? So in a 24 hr period u could get throu. alot of turns?

Thanks! This is exactly what I needed (and I even managed to understand some of the longer words ). Thumbs up!
Now all I need is to find an opponent

I presume it is ok for me to open up just the port in question (and have it forwarded on my router)? Ie no additional ports needed for traffic?

Actually the server is host.dom3minions.com
The dom3minions.com is a different machine

OK here is an ugly little check screen which will let you know which blitz games on my server dont have 2 players, and a link to a how-to on how to join a game.

Warhammer, it seems in my limited experience that a blitz takes 1-3 hours...

Now to answer the questions:
At the moment I have only 2-player blitz games (posted in another thread) or 5-player demo games.

Under consideration are:

A)3-player demo games with a couple of AI's thrown in

B)MegaChallenge games that will start when all of the nations of that era are filled, there would be 3 of those

For later consideration:

C)MegaArmageddon game where all of one era gets filled by players and all of the other nation slots are put in as AIs (that comes to 79 total)

D) Chaos games where each province is filled with additional random armies

E) Ally-for-Survival which would have random armies added all over the map, and all 79 nations, and the AIs are randomly allied with each other while being set to impossible setting. I suspect this would be a game where humans allied to each other would be a necessity rather than an option

Ive hit a gap now so do I hear any "please" and "thankyou" for anything on that list?
