Commander Mode

[Ronin]

What the hell happened on Commander mode? I was trying to enter with my friend and I simply realized that there is no such server anymore.

I'd like to see the gamemode back. It would be enough if we can have the 250 one back.

We lost EU4 already, not this awesome gamemode as well please! I was planning on organizing an event about it.

Commander mode was realy fun

I think it was a temporary feature because they had the old servers for an extra month or something, so a way to use them as much as possible, making them run crazy with tons of bots.
But yes, having it back would be amazing

A lot of people have been wondering what happened to this and whether or not their effort is simply going to go to waste. Unfortunately, I don't have the best news, but it's not hopeless. Originally, we decided to run this as a test because we had the old EU server for a few extra weeks. Now that those servers are gone, we no longer have a good place to host this game mode. Due to the fact that a dedicated server running this game mode can only accommodate a handful of players, it doesn't make economical sense to continue officially hosting this. On the plus side, anyone can host a server with this game mode.

In the event that we can find someone willing to pay for/host a server running this game mode, not only will these custom factions be playable, but further development can also resume where it left off. Sorry to anyone who feels like they wasted their time contributing, that was not my intention. But like you, I too put a fair bit of time into this.

I was just waiting for the custom factions, doubt we are ever going to see it return if this is how it is. Maybe there could be a weekly commander mode session in which one of the existing servers gets turned into a commander mode server for like 12 hours.

NA_1 or something, that server is dead anyway.

How exactly do we host a server with this gamemode?

I'll post the server config file later - it's really just a normal server with a different gamemode.
