Private will make the game private by default. People will not be able to join your game unless you invite them yourself

Public

This is the default option, anyone is able to join your game like normal.

Automated Match Making

No information on how this one works, please feel free to edit this

(Game) Game Speed

This will set the default speed the game will run at, the option are:
Slower, Slow, Normal, Fast, Faster.

(Game) Lobby Delay

This attribute is what sets the start time for a match. If set to 10, once the host hits start, the lobby will countdown for 10 seconds before starting.

Sets if alliances are locked or not

(Game) Premade Game

Options are Yes or no -Please fill in more information-

(Game) Rules

You can set game rules, you must first create game rules in order to pick, else the only option is "Default" -Needs info or a link on how to create game rules.-

(Game) Teams

Sets the team options.

  • 2 Teams
  • 3 Teams
  • ...

(Player) Color

This option will set the default color for each player, please reference the Player Colors Wiki page for available colors.

(Player) Controller

This options has some interesting uses, its main use is to remove a player # from the game. For exmaple if player 3 is set to "closed" when players join the game, it will go player 1, 2, 4, 5...ect skipping the closed slot. -How does this work since we don't have access to player # based on position?-

(None)

-Needs information-

Closed

Closes the slot, so that no player can have that player #. This has good uses if you need to test play X when you are testing a map by yourself, you can "close" player 1, so you will be assigned player 2.

Open

This is the default option.

Computer

will put a "computer" AI in that slot in the lobby.

    I'm a product of your collective imagination and, therefore, I do not assume responsibility of anything I don't want to assume responsibility of.
