I would like some volunteers to test hermano's Online campaign tool, (of sorts)
this will allow play by mail campaign games for MTW,
which will give a whole new depth to the game,
Quote[/b] ] From Hermano:-
i wrote a tool, that allows to change the players faction of a mtv savegame
(as example you save playing the turks, then change to the germans, reload, et voila, you're now kaiser of the hre)
so what's possible with it:
playing with up to 20 players (depends on campaign/mod)
hot seat (quicksave, alt-tab, change faction, alt-tab back, quickload)
or over the net (send the savegame to another player, who will continue the same turn with an other faction)
all the moves made, will be played at the end of the year, even when the players faction has changed
obviously it can also be used to cheat (retire units of computer factions, start wars between computer faction, send their emissaries,etc)
what's not possible with it:
some factions will not be playable in the games campaigns, i.e. the russians, while novgorod is active, some factions will have wether land nor units (i.e. the golden horde before 1200)
only the players that ends a turn will receive diplomatic messages, the ai will decide over the other factions diplomacy
attacking another player without him knowing, since he will see moves of other predecessing players along his borders
battles between players must be resolved automatically (otherwise the game will wait until both factions units are set by the players, which is not possible)
please try it and tell me if it worked on your system (i only tried it on my system yet), it think it can give a new dimension to the campaign game of mtw,
thanks, hermano
