i dont really know whats possible with an automated server.

i personally just like cbm. but it would of course be cool if the players themselves could change the map/settings nad mods being played
im sure there is a reason why its not being done now though ^^

Something like this?

Yeah there is a reason for it.

Mostly its waiting for better guidelines and methods of noticing dead games and killing them off. When a game can run for months it wouldnt take long for players playing with this to make any server finally puke. Maybe it could work for pbem but not direct connect games.

That's pretty awesome.

One suggestion though, the options for VPs may be a bit overly limited, at least for larger non-blitz games.

Also, if you added some of the other predesigned maps like Pasha's Alexander and Bering for example, that would be awesome. 8 )

If it ever went online for real then, yes I would be adding quite a few maps. And mod options also since the next patch should have that working completely.

Is a Blitz game like a 4 hour session ect?

If so (depending on the time I would love to try it)

I would be interested (EA first choice)

yah they're usually 3 or so hrs.. sometimes they go pretty quick, sometimes they're unresolved really, occasionally they're continued. drop by the irc channel (#dominions on irc.gamesurge.net). week-ends are usually pretty good for finding blitzes... they may not happen exactly when you would like though...
