i can do it. how many maps at each level do you want ??? Then give me a week.

There will be two sets of maps.

One with Ruins

One with no ruins.

And then a couple of each level with finite resources... as it is an area we all do not explore enough

I was thinking to save time you could use the each map more then once, but with the common starting points in differnt places. In fact by only moving one or the other common starting point you could make several maps using the same basic map and noone would know where the other guy was even if they tried to figure it out by scanning all the maps in the editor.

I would like to see some subfolder organization, it would make much easier to search a certain map. What about two specific starting positions for each player, does it work?

Tesco, I hope you're not using the map editor when you generate the maps. It has poor randomness, every time you start the program again you'll get the same maps in the same order.

Turn 74: Guzguy surrenders.
Goz is certainly one though dude, fighting on to the Last man instead of folding early. A bit of luck and a few strategically placed minefields early and the Horde managed to secure the larger part of the map. From there on it was just a slow, slow grind to the end.

Then it’s us next Gecko. Any specific settings you would like ? I am game for most setups, but I prefer a no Ancient rule.

Geo, when you get a chance, can you take a look at the 'Ratings Bash - Slynky vs Baron Grazic' game. Thanks.
The error message is :-

Hmmm... No Ancient + No Intel and you have an agreement.

Thanks Geo for fixing it the first time, but it has happened again.
Slynky - looks like the game will need a restart - dam.

No, there is nothing wrong with the game. It's the server. Give me a minute to clear up the problem.

Looks like the play by web server and program need to be upgraded.

We are kind of in the middle of doing that. That's what's causing the problems.

But it should be ok now. At least for the rest of the night.
