Ok the site has been up for abit. Here are the impressions I get from the logs.

RandomOps.exe high interest
WEvsTHEM scenario some interest
Poke in the Eye scenario low interest

MAPS:
tiny
small
medium
large most of the interest is in Large
huge some interest in Huge
epic

OK so I guess I need to look at the program for randomly generating opponents to maybe improve it. But Im afraid that most of the improvments are GUI (user menu). Thats not really my area or the programming langauge I use (raw basic). Maybe some Visual (basic or C) programmer can take a look at it. Even a web interface can be used if some perl or java person wants to discuss it.

WE vs THEM can be improved. From other indications, putting it on a different map might help. A large map instead of epic size? I havent heard feedback on WEvsTHEM. Does anyone have suggestions for making atlantis, ermor, rlyeh, stronger AI opponents?

Im alittle disappointed at the showing on PokeEye. That type of random game was one of my favorite to work on. Any suggestions? Comments?

The maps are showing me to be right (well ok and abit wrong). I figured that the small, medium, large maps would be covered pretty well by the manual map makers. Doing the really big maps is probably more work than its worth manually. OK I knew that I was probably one of the few who really enjoyed the maximum-sized (Epic) maps. I like to manage my nation for quite awhile before going to war. But it looks like most of you feel that large is good enough, huge maybe. I also see a fair amount of tiny maps being grabbed which I guess I should have counted on also. Everyone should have a tiny map. Im kindof surprised no one has created a "good" one (manual, artistic) yet.

Come on people. "Users have forgotten how to pay for free things anymore". Lets prove that wrong OK? Not just me but all the fan sites. Praise where it pleased you, suggestions where it didnt, information if it was broke, and generally let the people who are doing the stuff on the fan sites know that someone is paying attention. We need to "pay" for their work if we want to see more.
