It tells them.

The last few games of Diplomacy I had were so nice though. You had one guy who thought the other was trustworthy, so he was telling him his plans to attack me, which he was also forwarding to me at the same time. So we basically took him out before he could put it in to action. So funny.

That's not it. I mean something that'll let you define the EXACT number of units you want players to be able to use.

Well if it does work like that, implimenting something that auths the key once then works offline after that would have the problem that this 'variable' stored to show whether the key is valid could easily be changed so the game thinks any code entered is valid. So it would void the whole system alt...

Yeah, you can download the game as soon as you pay...

Am I missing something here?

Exactly.

This game is £10. Can't you accept the fact that Introversion want to protect the money they get from the game? The game is around 60mb, which would take me 5 mins or less to download from a bittorrent tracker. I don't blame them.

Is there a way to set custom quantities of units available in a game? I looked for this option but can't seem to find it, would have thought it'd be simple stuff to put that in the server options...

You're not exactly a fountain of intelligence, posting a whine thread in these forums to the Introversion developers.

Get an internet connection. Jesus christ.

Great.

Well the best games I ever have are diplomacy games. Slowly breaking people out of the alliance and nuking the crap out of them is priceless. But getting a lot of idiots playing is one of the downsides of releasing the game on Steam I suppose. Just play on, diplomacy is the best gamemode ever. :) Oh...

Lol, who cares?

They'd look stupid going in a straight line.

I think it sets the mood of the game perfectly, It's incredible.

I will kill you.
