Re: new feature: random game
There is a fog of war kindof. Rather like having the ability early on to get a really high view of the world but no details.
As for the random games, Im sorry. I had to go back and check. There is the ability to do it in Dom1 using an EXE to rewrite the map. There would always be a "Random Partners" map showing for selection when you make a game but you would have to click the icon for the RandPartner exe when you wanted it to generate a new Version with new partners. It was one of the things discussed. I thought someone had done one. I even thought I had done one but apparently not.
It could be done in any language that has a random function, even BASIC or shell script. But to be made available would probably need to be something that can be compiled. If anyone with some slight ability in something like VBasic would like to pursue the subject feel free to email me as gandalf on the techno-mage.com system
