Default Re: MP Game - Urgaia - After the Blitz

There is a force host for switching instead of changing the timer.

But what I found was easier was to copy one of the .2h files as the missing player. That way it seems the turn is in without stopping/restarting the server. If ulm.2h, man.2h, ctis.2h are all turned in, and it doesnt look like pangaea.2h is going to show up then copying man.2h to pangaea.2h will trick the host into quick-hosting. It needs to be a 2h for the same game in the same turn to work. I had an automatic script running to do that with the first 2h that got turned in for a game that had an early dropout. Its definetly not as good in a long run as turning the player AI if that option is open to you.
