... There's some lines near the top of each startpos file which look like this:
cn_predefined::true
cn_title::"Early Period Title"
cn_short_title::"Early Period Short Title"
If you make a new startpos file, and change these to
cn_predefined::false
cn_title::"LOTR"
cn_short_title::"LOTR"
cn_predefined::true
... then starting an MP game with the "LOTR" era will make it show up as "LOTR" in everyone else's MP game list. If you send the startpos file to other people they'll be able to join the game too.
(Even better: all you need to do now is throw in lots of new units, do some new graphics, design a new campaign map, and decide where you want things to start, and hey presto you've got a Lord Of The Rings mod :)

So we can assign names to mods and play them online if we wish to do so...
remember all players need the same version of the mod installed...
