[Gandalf Parker]

In the many years of Dom2 and Dom3 this subject has come up many times with extensive conversation. The impacts of maps, scales, mods, ranking methods, neutral judgments, etc.

You might want to do a search and check out some of them.

For information, on the French cyberstratege site, there's such a thing: http://www.cyberstratege.com/forum/v...php?f=7&t=2134 for those who read French and wouldn't know that site.
They limited themselves to 4 player games on a single map, with random nations and random era. I didn't check the scoring system because I can't follow with the rhythm of the games (daily) during week-ends. Anyway the scores are here: http://www.cyberstratege.com/forum/v...php?f=7&t=2211 . It's interesting to notice that after 5 months, 7 games were completed, and all players completed at most 2 matches.
Therefore, I think a system where your ranking depends on your opponents would never work (unless everyone plays for a century or more, or the ladder games are all blitz games).
