HERES MY IDEA,,,,,,,HAVE ALL AUTO ATTACKS ATTACK TILL ATTACKER LOSES 5 men then they have to ckick it again

i am the smartest man alive

The idea of an editable box sounds like by far the best. Is it possible with the everything we have running, Lack? Or would this be on later down the line, coming out with one of the larger planned updates with Ajax?

I can also live with the editable box but this would be much later down the line...

I say a greasemonkey script would work right>?

Allow the person attacking to have a choice of how many rolls of Auto Attack to do.

Perhaps a drop down menu on how many auto attacks to do.

The reason I believe this is neccessary is that I recently rolled with 23 armies versus 8 and at the end I had 3 armies to the opponents 3. If I had a choice I would have perhpas rolled five times in auto attack and see how I did. If I was losing big, such as this example, I may choose to stop attacking. However, without an option you go all the way down to three armies and stop. I like Auto Attack since it moves the game faster, however, I will probably never use it again due to my latest losses.

I think having the option allows players to move faster without the chance of lossing all of their armies, and perhaps let them change their strategy.

The Priority I would place would be a 4, not super urgent, however would add a big benefit.

Thanks,
Boyer

its all chance, statisticly autoattack is not better or worse then single attack, at least thats what they keep telling me.

it is a lot faster though. that does help speed games up

by **boyer** on Tue Nov 28, 2006 10:00 am

Yes it's all a chance, however, if you could strategically stop if your losing, you won't continue rolling and be forced to keep taking that chance.

by **Thimble** on Wed Nov 29, 2006 2:12 pm

i think it's a good idea.

also, there are cases when you don't want to take your opponents territory, so having a limit on how many armies you kill would be nice too.

by **Rogi** on Wed Nov 29, 2006 3:50 pm

Then go with the normal attack.
Auto Attack is for the territory's you NEED to take out FAST. Or for big army clashes. I'm greateful it stops on 3.

I like the dropdown menu, with it set at having 3 men surviving.

<Body>:

* Suggestion Idea:

a 'stop' on auto attacking

* Specifics:

basically you can set the amount of armies when it stops attacking. if i have 20 armies and i want it to stop auto attacking at say 10 then i just (theoretically) scroll to ten next to auto attack et voila.

* Why it is needed:

because auto attack it way too tempting but very damaging if you get particularly poor series of rolls

* Priority** (1-5): 3?4?

Good idea.

by **khazalid** on Wed Jan 10, 2007 8:52 pm

thanks. i do have them occasionally

by **sully800** on Wed Jan 10, 2007 9:00 pm

This has been suggested before, but I still like the idea.

by **khazalid** on Wed Jan 10, 2007 9:07 pm

that might have been me actually.

i couldnt remember.

was it rejected for a reason?

by **lackattack** on Wed Jan 10, 2007 11:01 pm

I like to keep the game interface as uncluttered as possible, and I have lots of better stuff (in my opinion) on my to-do list, so that's why I rejected this idea in the past.

if this was implemented, I might actually use auto-attack... I've only used auto attack a couple times, and got burned like 1/3 of those times, it seemed... so I never use it

i like the idea...i'm tired of losing tons of troops with auto attack, or clicking the button tons of times by just attacking

by **dancingchiapet** on Thu Jan 11, 2007 4:41 am

i agree, maybe have the options be 5, 10, 20 or 5, 10, 15, 20; whatever.

I just don't like doing a 20 vs 17 battle and coming out of it 3 v 14 with no warning.

by **CreepyUncleAndy** on Tue Jan 16, 2007 8:39 pm

Maybe Auto-Attack should automatically stop/pause as soon as the armies in your attacking territory are reduced to less than 4 -- that way, it stops once you loose the advantage of attacking with 3 dice. :idea:

It already does this. :-s

by **AndyDufresne** on Tue Jan 16, 2007 8:43 pm

Actually, why don't we let auto attack roll only 6's? I think that solves the issue.

--Andy

by **CreepyUncleAndy** on Tue Jan 16, 2007 8:51 pm

It does? I almost never use it, and it only got me hosed once.... But I like the other Andy's idea as long as it also makes the defender only roll sixes! :lol:
