No. However, if you've known of our site for over a year, you should have registered and just learned to play multiplayer with us.

Lol, Bomber is always a little blunt.


I suppose an existing multiplayer AI map could be edited to become a colony game. It might be a simple hex editing job, or maybe it's more involved. Only way to find out is to try I guess.

Err, I didn't get to trying that out today. Might be a good idea to remind me to look into that. I can be a bit forgetful.

NOOOO IT"S A TRAP!!!!


lol, jk

The only way to do it currently is to assign the map an existing .dll file, but that just isn't the way to go.  If the "AI" wasn't made for the map, 9/10 it won't work

I wanted to make a single player multiplayer tutorial so you could easily load it and pratice. In fact I did make it but it had single player research speed I think so it got removed.

That's easy to fix. Set the level type in the DescBlock to Colony when you make the level, so it appears in the colony game list, but in InitProc change the level type to one of the multiplayer settings. Then when it does the checks for research speed, it'll think it's multiplayer and triple the rate.

You also get the multiplayer style quitting if you end the game early.
