When we enter to option "online games" we see all rooms but we cant send msg on this window. Why not ? This is very good idea.
And add to lobby option for example:
- Start resources in scale 1/5
- Download map if we dont have it before the game AS IS ON WARCRAFT III (From host) - Of course if we dont have this map
- Sort map by "number of possible players" 2,4,6,8 etc and If we choose map for 4 players all blank Slots should be dissapear


- Close enter to lobby before we dont choose map
- Ban to enter play to lobby (few times trying to enter)

These mostly are good ideas, have been discussed and accepted, the problem now is to code them :)

1/5 resources is not going to work, it will restrict Stone/Wood too much, you will be forced to build 1 quary and 1 woodcutters at most and then wait for them to mine the stone/wood.. Thats not going to add to enjoyment, but will make starting game much longer.

You will be able to sort maps in MP by title, player count and map size. Hiding player slots is a possibility we will think about it (e.g. if we allow upto 10 players in a game that will allow to show them all at a cost of slightly reducing chat area size, but only when all 10 player slots are needed)

I don't think preventing players to join before the host choosed a map is a good idea .. I often discuss with players when I'm the host to know which map they want to play on ... and I don't want to put a random map just to let people come in.

- I think that voting map is too good idea. Host for example choose two maps and players voting; p

You can do the voting in chat by asking the host if he can change the map to the one you like. No need to have a separate option for that - just tell the host and ask other players to tell their fav map :)

No this is bad option. If I ask host about my map other players will start spam etc. Everyone can ask about other map and is bullshiting voting not real ;p
