Suggestions for SP play?

Oh dear.

Gandalf, how dare you stereotype Alneyan for having a female looking avatar!

And conversely, ICH, how dare you stereotype Alneyan for being on the internet!


And thus, the world crumbles in on itself, under the sheer weight of anonymity.....

Experience.

If that doesn't convince you, I'll raise the "meme" card.

I have met plenty of real women on the internet (proven by telephone and/or webcam). Granted, they are vastly and wildly outnumbered by men, but the ratio is gradually shrinking over time - something that pleases me even if the greater part of the change is occurring in the younger generations, who just like to tease me with their "being-vastly-younger-than-me-ness".

That's a generic "me", of course, not specifically directed at all. >.>

Your pack was indeed what I had in mind Gandalf. I'll be having a look at RanDom now, and see what I can contribute once I've figured out what it does exactly, but I like what I'm seeing so far! I enjoyed your random medley-style map, but it just felt a little bit too random for me, and the AI was even better than me at destroying itself against nasty provinces...

The last few posts in this thread remind me of that old Lord of the Rings saying somehow "Wizards, never meddle in the affairs of mortals, for they are subtle and quick to confuse you." (Is now a good time to mention I've taken up to liking metal, and I do mean real metal?)

I didn't know my avatar looked feminine, though... I thought it was pretty much androgynous, but then again, I also thought there was a second creature in the background (most people seem to think it's just a hood, but trust me, there's a menace lurking behind me...) Oh well, there's always the Dominions ads I guess!

Yes I now generate chaos mapped games on the server.

Its been improved (the AI is an active player, the indepts can attack you, the indepts have PD and can spot scouts, and the castles have patrols). But the total randominity does tend to spark people to want to create more logical provinces so I steer them to the RanDom program.

Im old OLD Internet. I consider it to be good manners to treat the person as whatever they care to portray on the net. The name could go either way, and the avatar looks female, which says to me that the person wishes to be referred to as she.

I completely agree.
