A few years ago Warlight was so much more fun. The ratio of games/players was favourable, I could create a 40 player custom scenario and have the slots filled in 1-2 days.

Now there's an abundance of games open and not enough players. I can't be bothered reopening the game every time the blue box appears. I can't ask that the blue box time limit be extended because then we'd have HUNDREDS of open games and the problem will be even worse.

I'm asking that the requirement for custom scenarios be raised. Make it level 60 or with membership. This game was a lot more fun when I could come up with a crazy game idea and people would always come play it very fast. Now it can take WEEKS to fill a 40 player game if you don't invite players.

Just my 2 cents.

No. There are easy ways to find players to join your game. Players are not the problem. Good players are rare though.

Well since your neither 60 or M - you could show us how it works by not creating more :P

I would suggest trying to get into a larger active clan, then you can pre-poll what game/temp people would be interested in. Fill it up as much as you can with clanmates then open it to non-clan for the remaining. Truth be told I haven't joined a game off the dashboard in forever. I have so many games just joining the clan started ones and maybe 50% of the ones i get a direct invite on.

Just food for thought

And here I thought they were gonna say either Coins or Cash :P

Join a (diplo) clan and recruit players from there.

If you are trying to get diplo's filled, I can also recommend joining a few diplo discords:
