RPG Setting: Another item that should be implemented on the game-setup screen should be a setting saying "RPG Game?" If this becomes selected, it automatically gets a password, and it unlocks a new group of settings and abilites for the Game Admin to use, such as the following and more:
Custom Map Creator: A machine should be added on CoW on the game set-up screen that one of the features that can be activated are Custom Maps. This should then make it that before you start the game, it shows you the whole game map as if you were playing, but you could select a nation and then a region and the region would change to that nation's color. Then, once land is all distributed, you can hit continue and that will publish the game. This would make it easier to make historic setup games for anywhere in history, and it would make land swaps a whole lot easier for us RPG makers. If you do not implement this feature, there should be a way, like on Supremacy 1914, to send a report to the team with nation lands distributed, and they generate a custom map for you.
MORE WILL BE ADDED TO THIS AS THEY ARE SUGGESTED OR THOUGHT UP
sounds cool, but if somethings like that gets created then the RP shoulddefinattely be a HC option or paying an entrance fee. That besides an option of the using gold or not availability. That way bitrow would not lose any monies, actually make more probably as most people playing RP´s being fanatical :p
So actually all 4 points id say yes. I would like to see that.
Interesting thread, @Carl Wilson
this good..
very good...
I dont think name changes for maps should be allowed.
A few reasons as to why:
1) If you behave well, then your name will endorse respect amongst players. Its a status symbol for the good and the bad.
2) It will facilitate difficulties for game admins to find out who and wht they are, creating more work for the few admins we have
3) It will bring up issues with choosing ofensive names acording to the end user agreement and rules. For example, people may choose names like musolini or hitler, which is not allowed, and it may provoke ethnical issues. (hence it is not allowed). Yes its a history game, but some things are better to left allone. Besides, its a fictional historical based game.
4) name changes of countries would make people name theyre countries stupidly like countrymccountryface.. incase you dont follow the news its a reference to a boat naming contest..
Though the kick player whenever option should come with a specific set of rules, unless those games are acompanied by a bitrow admin or trusted players, To find out about trusted players one could add a option of checking under their name to see how many RP games they played, how many times they where admin in that and how they performed.
The other 3 points do not have any of those complications and could be implimented without any doubt. Only needs the programming to be done. Though custom maps would be the biggest task...

I understand your point, but look on Supremacy1914. In this game, players are allowed to change their in-game name and to change flags of their country. Of course, in many times someone call himself a "Adolf Hitler" or something like that, but Game-Team are very watchful, and quick in report responding.
Second thing, you can look on country ruler, and you will see his in-game name, and account nickname on special card.
4) name changes of countries would make people name theyre countries stupidly like countrymccountryface.. incase you dont follow the news its a reference to a boat naming contest..
Supremacy1914 doesn't have country-name change, but if you put option to change flag, I believe, that change name is indispensable. And of course, If someone will change his country name to: "Hitlersland" or something stupid, Game-Team will take an action.
Anyway... These options: Change in-game name, flag and country name, should be allowed only in special RPG-mode, just like Carl Wilson said.
And the last thing... In Role Playing games, possibility to kick non-RP player and trolls is indispensable too. Password is not enough security from that. I know that from my own experience. I hosted many RPG-sessions in Supremacy1914, on password. Not all players respects the RPG, and other special-session rules.
Terribly sorry for my bad english-grammar. I must definitely POLISH my english xD
