[Wesnoth-dev] Multiplayer Balancing

[David White]

With the responses in this thread: 
http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4812&start=0 it seems that 
we now have a small but growing group of players who play alot of 
competitive multiplayer at a fairly high level of skill, and are able to 
articulate good suggestions for making multiplayer fun and competitive.

I think that we should act to leverage the experience of these players 
-- who each probably play far more competitive multiplayer than any 
developers -- and involve them in the development process.

One possible way we could do this is open a sub-forum on multiplayer 
discussions. Another way is to invite the players who we think have 
valuable feedback to this mailing list. Yet another way would be to open 
a new mailing list specifically for discussion of multiplayer balancing 
and invite them to that (since they might not be interested in technical 
discussions).

Any thoughts on this? I definitely think that we need to add more people 
who have experience playing multiplayer to the development pool.
