If you autoattack, it's because the server has to pull at least 1500 dice rolls all at once. If you're just regular attacking, it could be that the large game log was putting strain on the server and your computer, especially if you have greasemonkey.

just wait until the spamalot build game tests out 100 thousand vs 100 thousand :wink:

or even 1 mil vs 1 mil.

How long would the server be down for?

I remember a 15,000 vs 13,000 downed the servers for 15 minutes, but that was at least two server updates ago, so i have no idea for right now.

I'd let lack know beforehand.

LOL.

if/when we choose to autoattack, we will be giving lack a 24 hour warning on it.

But that won't be for a long time, cause our game is only up to around 3000 armies...

Giant autoattacks tend to crach the attacker's browser. I autoattacked 2000 vs. 2000 and it almost broke my computer. :lol:

But it would be nice to eliminate the 999 ceiling. If for no other reason, it might lead to some change in long build games.

well that will just make it even more interesting :wink:

my computer's pretty good, but im fairly certain that it wouldn't be able to handle 100,000 sets of dice (500,000 dice images on one page...).

It'll be intense :roll:

increase # of armies that can be forted or deployed

Specifics:

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

I am in a few long term games, and find it very irritating to not be able to move my mass piles of men into attack positions.
This limitation of 999 , has stopped many a good opportunity for finishing my games.
I am sure it would take very little to allow a larger # t be deployed or moved forward.
Currently this limitation is a hindrance in finishing some of my games.

I agree.

No more else to say

by **Visaoni** on Fri Aug 08, 2008 4:12 am

This is a great suggestion. Can't say I haven't had the idea myself a number of times. There comes a point in a game where a stale mate is, more or less, forced. You can attack, but after that you are stuck with 999 men able to continue attacking. It just isn't enough. The only hope is that everybody comes to their senses and start slowly decreasing the armies on the board, but even then the board doesn't change much besides the numbers for awhile.

I think i agree. .. i'll think a little more.

yes, and its about time someone said it too

truly needed

right now to defend [a bonus] in a high army game, all you have to do is put 2000 on an interior territory behind one of you outer territories thats not part of a bonus you want to keep, and if someone did decide to attack you, they can never break you can they cant advance enough armies #-o

by **KoE_Sirius** on Wed Aug 13, 2008 3:34 pm

Yep I agree .We should be able to move our whole army .

by **Hotdoggie** on Wed Aug 13, 2008 3:59 pm

Same for deploying...let us deploy over 999 at a time...its a right farce deploying 2+ times when you have to scroll so much.
