	Suggestions for the Multiplayer Expansion. Support Apolyton

If anyone from Firaxis is still browsing the boards, I have a couple of suggestions for the Multiplayer Expansion.

1. A centalized Firaxis server showing all TCP/IP games in progress. Free host servers would also be a bonus.

2. A ranking sytem compiled from the end-results of these games - http://ngworldstats.com/ could be used for this.

3. For PBEM/Hotseat games:
It should be easy enough to implement a replay of all visible activity (especially combat) by other players/the AI at the start of a player's turn (as opposed to getting a pop-up box summary)

If anyone else has any more suggestions - post 'em here !
