That is GREAT!! I've wondered why this hasn't been a feature of many games for some time now.

One of the biggest turn-offs of MOO3 is the fact that it doesn't support anything BUT TCP/IP (at least that's the Last I heard). TCP/IP is great for every now and then, but realistically it will be tough to maintain the momentum of a lenghty game w/o the consistency of PBE/PBW.

...

Thanks for the .emp file, Georgeig. I'm going to still try and round at least one other person up before we start. But if I haven't found anyone by Friday, I'll probably just go ahead with the three of us. If that's the case, do you want to have computer opponents?

no problem but gifts/tributes tech gifts/tributes/trades and surrenders must be disabled - ai is too easy to abuse - and we can use tdm-modpack

What's tdm-modpack? I searched around for it, and found mention of it, but no where could I find it nor a description.

BTW - I've never ran a mod before, although I'm not averse to doing so.

it only makes ai less stupid

you should not generate random empires but instead add existing ai empires (add existing --> choose --> edit --> controled by computer)
high difficulty/high bonus will be good too

tdm-modpack 2.0
