Idea for efficiency.

What if a new multiplayer system was made, where it picks the accounts randomly by their played this session time, or something. Different sequence every time.

Going in the row is bad if you have too many accounts and the row doesn't always get through.


Found out that it isn't really necessary on msi. It has "Start with player #X" thing. It's awesome.

If a scripter wanted to add this to his script, he could do so quite easily. All he'd have to do is record the amount of time each account runs for, and then compare to decide which to run.

I had done this in python previously, but I don't know pascal.

Well, just sharing the idea.

I think this was actually suggested a while ago. We were going to add a checkbox to have the script run players in a random order (not taking the time into account), but no one has gotten around to actually doing it.

this would make the script's player login sequence seem less bott-ish for ppl with armies. good idea. i think it'd be a good implementation to the features.
