Re: State of the multiplayer server

Cap it at 100 players should not be a big deal ? Or whatever number w...

There is a lot of effort put into this issue at the moment, but it requires much testing and only place giving meaningful results is main se...

Time to fix the 1,4 server ?

Is is just me or are people getting very tired of all the server resets that happens and all the spontanous disconnects that happens ? I find it very strange that the developers saw 1,4 ready for release with all those problems making it nearly impossible to play a game to finish withouth haveing to...

We already have 2 level 2 fighter units - elf captain and elf hero. The elf hero does 8-4 in melee damage. As for ambush capability so does the elf ranger have 7-3 in melee damage. Making a new fighter with ambush and no ranged at level 2 could not be given more damage than the hero so it will have ...

Re: thoughts on "Son of the Black Eye"

This shows that early on, I should have picked quick orcs to level up. It would be nice if there was a way for me to mark individual units so that I could tell that I wanted to promote them fast. When you have a bunch of forces on the field, it is hard to remember which are "quick". One c...

When the host of the game dies and the other clients dont see it - a ping could be used to get the game transferred to a new host instead of having to save the game and restart it. If the client dont reply to the ping command it should be removed as if it disconnected prope...
