That "-seed n" option looks like a lethal one. It means you can set up scenarios where it's unlikely you'd win, figure out the seeds which give you all the lucky breaks, and then play people using only that seed. I can see it now, "I can't believe you dodged ALL the torpedoes," and, "gosh... why am I ALWAYS in that rotten spot..."

:D

hehe :)

i had read a post somewhere that those refer to
the single play quick mission seeds.

i was thinking the no replay one might be useful to free up memory
when playing large scenarios.
