Ouch. I forgot that I had renamed the files because I already had one named that in my keeper directory.

I probably will wait for the next patch before selecting a map for me to put alot of time into. I have my favorite colors picked out and Ive been waiting a year for all the color switches to work on the maps. I was about to give up and tackle getting a paint program to change the sea border colors manually.

Quick question for you gandalf.

I would like to host this map on my second computer and play it on my main system. I notice that you play alot of these larger games and I was curious if you could tell me the most minimalistic setting switches for such a server?

What I am looking for is a way to host the game on my other computer and it host each turn as fast as possible with the least overhead.

Thanks

windows? linux? mac?

dom3 -ST

It will prompt for all of the questions and running in text mode removes almost all of the overhead for running the game. Of course there are a couple of pages of switches for tweaking beyond that, or for automating parts of the setup when you get tired of putting answers into the prompts each time you start a game, but thats the easiest starting command for you.
