Default Re: Gandalf\'s Crazy Solo Games

The script was included.
At the moment Im using a really simple one. It just counts thru 1495 provinces, and randomly drops things into it. Im afraid that it does include a chance for you to start in a province that has a surprise. An additional commander, with level 4 random equipment, maybe some bodyguards, and some additonal units.

The only way to avoid that bit of luck in maps like this would be to designate all of the provinces that people can start in and avoid those when tossing in surprises. By the way, I ended up with that horror as a neighbor right next to my castle and Im still trying to get rid of it.

Im still generating batches of maps on my server and making a webpage to see if any catch my interest.

Im also waiting for the new patch so I can finally set ALL of the colors. Then I will pick one to take the time to clean up the neighbors, and set the starting locations. Also I might toss in AI alliances and such just to make it harder. Then I will set it up to re-create it every day so that people can snag a new one when they have played out that one.

If you want to try a smaller (and daily rerun) version then you can check out the Dom2 version. It can be played in Dom3 I believe.
