The original setup for this game is no longer possible


Im afraid that my ability to run 79 nation games appears to have been fixed in the latest patches. Games now only allow the nations of whatever era the game is created for. The ability to add other nations on the command switch was repaired awhile back. And the ability to do it as a map command appears to be fixed in the latest patch.

The only way to do it now is if someone creates a mod that puts all nations into one era. Thats not too hard. In fact, it was done already but I dont think that person released it publicly. Since I dont tend to like running games with mods, I dont plan to run such a game anytime in the near future. Sorry about the change.

Are you going to start up a small 21 player game?

I'll join as EA-Kailasa, MA-Bander Log, or LA-Ermor.

There are plenty of games going on that promote the small-map tactics. I think that gives the impression that there are "killer" strategies. Just because it happens to be in my nature to automatically want to go where the crowd isnt, I would create somthing else.

I might create a mega-map 21 player game later.

Or a large Victory Point game.

Either way it will probably be something large enough to support long-term research or stealth as a way of winning. Or even luck-of-chance like a game with scattered surprises or a Tower map.
