when you have created a game and want the same game and settings again, just press refresh and it will make another one

What??? Really??

Merging this into the other thread. Please people, search the forum and sub-forum to see if it has been suggested before.

I like this suggestion.

This'll be amazing for tournaments that use a lot of the same settings for games. I can't wait!

Concise description:
Allow multiple games to be made.

Specifics/Details:
When making games, we have to input all the details of a game type again (players, type of game, deployment, play order, spoils, reinforcements, foggy/sunny and casual or speed). This can be made so much easier to do with any one of 3 ways.

1. Like when making games for tournaments, go back to the create a game screen with all the info already in putted.
2. Give a button after the game is made, saying create the same game, similar to the create a new game button that is already available (if an existing game has been made to your style).
3. When you make a game, have a drop down box that asks for how many games would you like to make.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
Tournaments already have the first suggestion which is great but it would be nice to have it in normal play as well. Honestly, this probably would not benefit the site apart from making me and other players very happy. I rarely make just one game of a sort, and this would be gratefully received.

This has already been suggested a few times.

One way of doing it is to enter all the settings, map etc and click create game, then hit refresh(f5) and then enter. This creates another game with all the same settings. So if you hit f5 enter, f5 enter, f5 enter, f5 enter, f5 enter, f5 enter, you will create an extra 6 games.

Did not know it had been suggested before, but thanks for letting me know about f5 enter.

Maybe it's just me, but I have always been able to create the same tournament game over and over. I put the game settings in, press the "CREATE" button, and the setting stay right where they are...so I can press "CREATE"...again and again.

Can nobody else do this for tournament games?

Creating Multiple Games for Tournaments

Concise description:

• I know something similar has been suggested before this is the previous thread if moderator does decide to merge the threads [Creating Multiple games at once]
• The ability to make multiple games at once without reloading the page.
• The main difference between what is suggested there and what is being suggested now is that this privilege should only be for tournament games and their organizers.

Specifics/Details:

• To have the ability in tournaments only to create X amount of games with current setting and game labels.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• This will benefit the site because Tournament Organizers will be able to make more games accurately and quickly, possibly resulting in less abandoned tournaments.

I suggest this because i am currently running a tournament with 28 games per round and about 46 rounds total- so it would be easy if i can just make all my games then send out invites. This will limit organizers abandoning tournaments because they are too lazy to create more games. I know when i first started organizing, my tournaments will drag on for this very reason of being lazy and not wanting to create so many games.. but if i could say i want 10 tournament games to be created with these settings that would be amazing and make players and TOs enjoy tournaments so much better, but i cannot stress enough that this would be for TOs and tournaments only not for the general public wanting to create 1000 games.

[Metsfanmax]

RedRover, I am going to merge this with the other topic. That topic has already been submitted, which means that we believe it's OK for the general public to be able to do this as well as the TOs. We will just count this as further support that this feature is needed!

I apologize again for the new thread and the added work for you.. but if this has been approved then why hasnt it been implemented? Its been suggested multiple times months and months ago. I know people are busy, i dont know how hard this would be to put into to place. Im just totally curious if there is a plan in place or is this more on the eventually to-do list.
