A general inquiry about Dom 3 gaming habits.

[Edratman]

Gandalf, that is an absolutely brilliant suggestion. I can see how that combination provides what I'm looking for.

I've always used high resources because that is the way I always set up my games. Oh woe is us poor creatures of habit.

I've been playing on either random maps or the ones that have been provided with the game, none of which meets the criterion you suggest. I have noticed that you have a site with some Dom2 maps. Would you recommend one of those?

Lowering the resources seems to remove the AIs ability to create as much indept flak troops. It forces it to create more at castles and you get AI armies with more national units. It greatly improves the game if you can stand to play with lowered resources yourself.

The Dom2 site still generates daily maps. The pros and cons of setting it up for automation.

Ive been meaning to create a Dom3 map site but until recently most of the maps would have been generated by the Dom3 map program which seemed redundant. Soon it looks like there will be enough different map generators offering different features to make it worth having a site that each night generates a new catalog of randomly created maps for people to look thru.

There are some examples there with a jpg for each one and a zip file to download the full playable map.

Thanks for the infomation. I made my own based on your information. I actually set mountains at 80 after a few experiments and just started a game.

Time will tell.
