Re: 11p very large (UPLOAD PRETENDERS)
I'm not sure a ladder is all that important for this game. In theory, they can be lots of fun. But some people have a tendency to take their statistics too seriously. I fear it would somehow take away from the overall feeling of good sportsmanship, fun and easy-going camaradarie I find among the MP D3 community.

Re: 11p very large (UPLOAD PRETENDERS)
I was an administrator on the Civilization 3 Conquests MP ladder for a while. I saw personally how taking things too seriously can disrupt an online gaming community. It's pretty important, I think, for people to just play for the fun of the game, for a good match, for pitched battles and huge campaigns that the bards will sing songs about for centuries, not for a number.
This is actually pretty important. I may avoid ladder games.

I've extended the host interval to 36 hours - by no means does this mean people shouldn't take turns more often  .

Soon Abysia's land will be cleansed from the remains of the thin blooded demonkind.

Possible.
But others have already arranged that you should not hold it long.

Yeah, WSZP, Caelum says that "equipping every five year old with a crossbow doesn't do much good when my stuff flies".

Re: 11p very large (UPLOAD PRETENDERS)
Things do seem to be heating up a bit.
These games develop really fast with the bonus to gold and supplies and the extra troops at start.
