playing ANYONE against everyone

[Gandalf Parker]

Well thats been me thru all 3 dominions. If its randoms or chaos then Im all for supporting it to the extremes.

Hmmmm random AND chaos. I just had another thought. Im sure I can write a basic program that will write a mod so that you have no idea who you are playing against.

for 1 to 80 times...
select random nation
select randomly generated name
write the nation to slot 1
name it with the made-up name
next slot

Start a game with the mod and add as many of them into the game as you want. You might play against 4 late age Ulms but the nations might be named Fee Fhi Fho and Fhum. You wouldnt know for sure until you actually ran into them.

Hmmmmmm... it would have to have a way to tell it which nation to NOT include so I can play the nation I want. Or not. It just means that I would end up with a random nation also.

Would add to diplomacy as well as you may not want other players finding out what you are. Banners might be difficult, maybe find a way to randomize the extra banner mod as well. Then they wouldn't know till they actually saw the troop types

How to get around the fact that some folks just HATE playing some nations? Allow 1 rejoin and somehow enforce it?

Also, how long did it take you to set up your chaos game with some random provinces? Not necessarily the whole % random or full random, just some extra spice to a 1000+ map?

You mean like my Mega Map?

Or something abit more logical like the RanMap can generate?

It depends on how its created. My version takes a LONG time to generate the fatherland file but I guess that wont matter in a multiplayer game.
