One problem is I'm flashless. At least in linux.

You should be able to get Flash under Linux, if you don't mind. Firefox and the player from Adobe/Macromedia/whoever owns them now should work fine, and other browsers do have Flash plug-ins as well (I'm pretty sure Konqueror has one). Of course, that only helps with the technicality of getting Flash; everything else stays the same.

I see very little going for Flash, some specific sites excluded (they are in the minority). If you want to go impressive, CSS sounds a lot better to me, and happens to be a good deal easier to handle. I have been merely poking at Flash, but I won't delve into the details; if you are interested in that sort of thing, ten thousand people or so have already argued the case, and much better than I can ever hope to.

Alneyan check out this game site for example:

http://www.hitmanbloodmoney.com/

I think its pretty good. Not too much effects etc, everything is just perfectly enough in it. Btw Hitman: Blood Money gonna be released soon, and the demo is out in a few days, if you are interested.

I like the "Astral Bullets"

Just wondering: Do we not know the maximum number of players yet? And why don't more sites use those "overflow" css divs? Are they new, unpopular, or do they cause problems on certain browsers?

Thanks.

Well, in the Dominions? page the "1-14+" play means that there can be over 14 players. It varies from game to game. In Dom3 I think it is 21.

I don't know, this is the very first site I have coded from the start.

Kristoffer might mean that he is flashless on linux as a desktop, not as a server. Im not sure if I have seen any Xwindows flash development tools.

It also depends on how their server is setup. I still do daily checks on the illwinter machines and their record isnt all that good (no offense IW).

And I probably wouldnt want to push any flash from my linux server. Maybe if I saw a huge need for it I might host the flash somewhere else and link to it from Dom3Minions. But even on a low traffic site I wouldnt want to trade off the resources to feed that to multiple users at the same time from my personal server.

By the way people...
All of the things on Dom2Minions.com will be made available for Dom3 on Dom3Minions.com just as soon as I can get it working. Such as.. random maps for download created in sizes too large for most people to generate. Whatever the new limits are on map sizes and provinces I will have some available. And maybe some from that new map generator also.

Also, if anybody who has made guides or files for Dominions I or II pops here, please send me a PM or an email. I'd love to put *something* to the devoid Downloads section.

That is, if the one who's offering the serve space aproves.
