SS 6.3 Online
Welcome to SS Online
Welcome to SS Online, a online community where you can learn about and join in on the benefits and fun of the Stainless Steel multiplayer gaming experience.
What is SS Online ?
Sure, single player and hotseat campaigns are a great chance to role-play in SS, but how far can you take that? Although no two campaigns are ever identical, most campaigns can become predictable to some extent on hotseat. Unlike campaigns, multiplayer battles are different every time. Human adversaries currently have no alternatives, and it may indeed be a very very very long time until AI becomes creative as opposed to predictable in its nature (A fact).
If you want to have fun for now on Hamachi, BUT FIRST READ THE OTHER RULES:
SS Online #1: 046-203-540 password: ss6.3
SS Online #2: 046-203-991 password: ss6.3
Network Purges
The SS Online admin reserves the right to purge the networks of all offline members at anytime, unannounced. So don't get mad.
Notes
There is a 16-man-per-network limit. This isn't that big of a problem because we have 2 networks and will add more if necessary. And no, there aren't battle rules yet. SO DON'T GO BLIETZKRIEGING EVERYONE.
P.S. Yes, there are monthly tournaments. At least regular ones (once in a month). Exhibition games can use any rules you want. Nobody is stopping you. The rules on the community are only enforced when it comes to tourneys. Two weeks before each month starts I start a new thread in the following style: "SS Online Tourney: Month Year". All who wish to participate must submit their faction of choice (you must use the same username in Hamachi as you do on TWCenter forum). No faction-changing once the month begins. Every win gains you a point, every loss loses you a point. No exceptions. Team battles only valid if the sides are even (i.e. no 2v1 or 3v2 battles).

ONLINE ETIQUETTE RULES
Etiquette is an important aspect of life. It distinguishes the civilized from the barbaric retarded minded people. This is not a philosophy class and we will not be debating the other interesting twists behind the concepts of civilization and barbarity. What we will be going over here is online etiquette that is expected of all players. Please refer to this page on Online Etiquette for more information).
Why Online Etiquette?
Most of the online gamers are at least 15 years old, i think. Medieval 2: Total War Kingdoms, the game that Stainless Steel modifies, is rated T for Teen (16+) in the United States of America and in Europe. No offensive remarks and comments will be tolerated. If any player becomes so offensive as to disrupt your online gameplay experience, please report by emailing or sending a message via the "PM" button on my name above. Offensive remarks regarding anybody's race, sex, sexual orientation, ethnicity, age, height, or any other aspect will not be tolerated and will be subject to banishment from SS Online Community.
How do I display etiquette online?
First of all, be positive and not offensive when requesting games in network chat. When requesting a game, you might say, "Looking for 1v1." If after a couple of tries you receive no reply even though people are connected to the network and online, realize that they may be away from their keyboards, or "AFK." Do not panic, go berserk or run amok. There is no need to spam insulting comments or rant about the lack of potential opponents in the network chat window. This will be in vain and will reflect negatively on your part as a player and member of the online gaming community.
During a battle, if you are an observer/spectator, please do not chat, if you can. If there are other spectators, chat with them privately. Also, if observing, please only bring one very cheap infantry unit (no missile units), and withdraw the unit as the game begins. Also, before the game begins, provide to the other players a friendly reminder not to line up their troops facing your direction. This is to prevent time and energy lost turning the deployed army.
If you are a player, realize that there are no pauses allowed, at least nominally. Certainly you may pause the game if your opponent agrees to it (you cannot pause the game even if you wanted to, without your opponent also pausing the game). Also, do not chat offensively during a battle. Ideally you would be focused on your army's micromanagement instead of chatting. Also, do not act offensively by breaking the rules of engagement. This reflects poorly on you as a player and that is not a good thing in a community of online players.
During the endgame, do not, under any circumstances, exit the battle. The only time a person may exit the battle is if he or she has accepted defeat and when the battle results screen has displayed. This is to avoid any unnecessary fighting of the A.I. It is also looked down upon by the community. In addition, make sure to say "gg" (good game) at the end of the battle, as a kind of mutual understanding and appreciation for the time put in by both yourself and your opponent in what comes down to an entertaining battle.
Contact me or the jury team if you have any questions, concerns or suggestions regarding online etiquette. Thanks and enjoy.
WHAT WE NEED NOW:
We need someone to list in the factional units, Heavy cavalry units, missile units, Special missile units, artillery units, gunpowder units and the game budget (team money). If you can contribute to that and help the community, then do it.
