We could put all the kml/kmz files into a zip file so that all new players have to do is download the one file. We could also have step by step buttons as how to setup the files.

I know when some of my friends wanted to play, they had trouble setting things up.


Just suggestion

sounds like a good idea

They are generated for you when you download them.

I mean, when you start playing you have to go to Your KML files, then you have to go to Dig a Diamond Mine, then Plant a Cotton Field, then Build an Oil Well. We could jjst get all the files and put them in a zip file. It will stop the ;explode that many people face

Like Fuzzypaws said, they are generated for YOU when you download them. The code is specific so that it knows the status of your resources when you go to plant. Putting them all in a zip file won't work because everybody's KML files are unique.

But once you download them once, just put them in a folder under "My Places" and you never have to download them again.

Actually, it would technically be possible to put all the kml files into a zip. The zip file would just be generated and compressed on the fly. However, placing them in a zip introduces an unnecessary level of complexity to the trasfer.

It would certainly be possible for Luke to have all three network links generate and then bundled into a downloaded kml that also had the armies, bases and cities links in it also. The resulting file would look like the one attached.

(Note, i changed the unique portion of the resource links... )
