Default Re: Mumbling about MP security

In hindsight it is easy to say that security should have been handled differently. But dominions was not made in an orderly and well planned fashion, but was built up from humble beginnings to greater and greater complexity. Furthermore JK learned much of the required programming while working on the game. Had the game been made by persons familiar with these sort of security issues at the outset things might have been different, but it wasn't.

Exactly. We all had to learn, and most of us the hard way. But there is always dom3, rift? I can assure you one buyer, at least (provided you provide a linux Version)

I can't tell you how happy I am you're reading this. You are brilliant in game design, which is the hard part. Annoying details such as this are easily overcome if you know the how. You are welcome to ask me anytime, BTW. Thank you again for the game, and thank you for providing the linux Version!
