Gandaf is well known to love *big* maps, he's almost legendary for this. ^_^

Those are the kinds of games I like to play.
That was part of my point from the beginning. I wouldnt have bothered poking into this thread at all if it had said that Vans were a problem on small map multiplayer kill-everyone games that tend to end quickly, or something like that. It might seem that most people play Dom as player-vs-player arenas. And that leads to the impression that its what Dom is for. But thats mostly from the traffic in these forums. Obviously the vocal people in these forums dont reflect most players altho they might reflect a large number in these forums. With such a good manual, much of the traffic here are people who are looking for those type of games.

Even discounting solo players which there must many MANY of based on sales... there are many variables in even MP thats that would matter. Large maps, hard indies, high research, low resources, MP games that stress alliances instead of PvP, Victory Point games (I dont think Ive ever played a game with the Devs that wasnt a VP game so it definetly cant be discounted as part of what Dom is). Its usually better to try and state that something is true based on the types of games being played.

Not to mention the really chaotic stuff I like to throw in like scattering squads of monsters all over the map. But I know thats totally off the wall. Johan tells me that every once in awhile.

Really? You've polled a representative sampling of the population who plays the game? Or are you just making stuff up like when you tell people that commanderless troops won't rout on the first turn.
