[Posting] Custom Game

To build a custom game ¿do we have to ask Streu for it?
I think I have seen an option to make it when this site started.
I would like to continue the games I use to "manage" in PlanetsServer 11 years ago, the "Foundation series".
Perhaps some of you already played one, even when every one had different setups, most of the games were sphere map and hidden map (you have to find the planets).
I don't mind if it has to remain in the Joining Section for years :wink:

Right now, there is no user interface for setting up custom games or maintaining them - I just didn't build one yet. The backend (host manager, c2host) has some support for it. One thing that makes me hesitate is that there was some abuse of user-managed games on PlanetsServer and I don't yet have a counter to that yet: you don't want a rogue game owner to shut down a game in turn 20 if it doesn't develop the way he likes.

So, yes, if you want a custom game, you need me to set it up.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
