Single player with #allies

[rdonj]

Ah. I've never tried using the #allies command, so I didn't really have a response for that. So I made a suggestion for another way to make the AI harder. In any case, you know what to do once you've beaten 6 allied AIs now

Have you seen my maps?

Here is some of the code from one of my map generator scripts.

SZ=400
GCOL1=" 50 100 50 250 "
SCOL1=" 20 50 80 220 "
BCOL1="  111 194 21 50 "
SBCOL1=" 36 119 202 29 "
OTHR=' --mountpart 50 --farmpart 20 --mapnoise 110 '


for x in `seq 1 9`
do
  uptime >>$LOG
  dom3 -T --makemap $MAPNAME_0$x --mapsize 2400 3200 --mapprov $SZ \
    --mapaa $OTHR \
    --mapgcol  $GCOL1   \
    --mapscol  $SCOL1   \
    --mapbcol  36 119 202 29 \
    --mapsbcol 111 194 21 104

It sets colors (I really prefer my maps green)
and it sets the moutains much higher to create lots of strategic chokepoints. I tend to run them in large batches on my server then look for ones that I feel are particularly worthwhile. Such as...

Gandalf,

I've used your settings in Random quite a bit and I've jumped onto a couple of your AI chaos games although I didn't go far. I play with the fiddle provinces set very high for a surprise every game so it's similar but not as severe as your chaos games. Those are vicious

I'll have a look at your keepers. Might be pretty cool.

Rdonj,

Yeah I finally signed up to MP on NvV. I'll have to slow down my play. I tend to play 100 turns a day or so in SP so I get kind of careless and play intuitively rather than organized.
