He is saying that now that you cannot have a manual game on maps where you only have 1 starting territory all of the previous games of that type should no longer count towards to Manual Medal.


Not sure if that bell can be unrung.

i recall it was back in the day for 2 player assassin games.

Ok, i think I can officially be rewardedas the first member who lost against both bots! :)
the level 1 bot had 3 bonuses to break on my first turn lol, and the level 2 bot just gave me areally really hard time regarding dice.
nevertheless I agree, no cook is as bad as this, even albiestar would beat them easy. (yeah i know, says the guy who lost vs the 2 bots lol)
waiting for higher ranked bots to kick some ass!

and great update with the clan page too! any way we could end up with kind of a clan score.. actually the f400 scoring in on that page?


For those dreaming of a Clan Scoreboard... just hold on to your horsies!

and what about those dreaming of a Manual medal that did not include results from games that involved no manual deployment.

this is discussed at length in the relevant thread. is it a bug those games still count?

A player can no longer make a random Manual deploy game.I doubt that was the goal of restricting manual deploy games.

JK. Appreciate your efforts to provide new functions. Well done.
New front images look smashing...are you going to do some rotation of maps through that?

Is it still against the rules to hold players hostage if they are bots?

Keep up the excellent work bigWham!
Nice updates =D> =D>

I hope that teamCC can keep up with all the bugs that are sprouting about though. I've seen the wrong team awarded the win upon game completion and such. I *really* hope such issues can be rectified after the fact, and ofc, that whatever caused them is fixed asap.

Now that we have bots I hope we also get Infected Neutrals soon, as it looks to me like probably some programming can be reused and the behaviour for infected neutrals is much more simpler than even a Cook AI.

Still looking forward to play an Oasis game against the Barbaric Hordes of the desert! :D

New Header Design - refreshed logo and main navigation, included Clans in main navigation

The design of CC and it's header don't match at all, are you planning new design for whole CC?

Also please unclick Waiting for games in game finder.

thx

Hmmm, thanks GO. I wasn't aware of this.

Also, just a reminder to all:

Take a glance through the headlines though and be sure to report the bug in the right thread, so that the techies can spend their time fixing stuff rather than merging threads :)

Some questions regarding the bots:

1) Do games against the bots count towards the total games played showing on each player's profile?

2) Do games against the bots count towards the winning percentage on the player's profile?

3) Do games against the bots count towards the turns taken percentage?

4) Do games against the bots count towards medals?

Etc, etc, etc.

Basically, if the games against the bots don't count towards the basic statistic of each players' score, then games against the bots shouldn't count towards any other statistics kept by the site.

Nice touch with the bots.
It would be nice if you can add more(all) maps to the bot games and more bots. Let's say I'm a mosanthrope and I what to play a game with 7 bots. Can you make it happen? :D pretty please ;;)

I think they just changed it which is good!
I already had the platinum crossmap, but didn t do all 232 maps, i played the bots on a map i hadn t crossmaped the other day, on my medal stat it said i had 205, today it says 204 again, which is good. I know i lost so many points for one extra unique kill on maps sometimes, to give 2 uniques on roughly 70 maps for free certainly cheapened the crossmap medal.

Speaking of which, why don t whambot and sassbot get unique kills and medals? I think the poor robots deserve a little credit there. Would ve been fun to see how long/ how many games it takes them to become standard platinum and all! :)

Mr. New Admin, have you noticed all the old players that have left the site since you started making these "additions?" I have. :(

The game you are offering here resembles Risk less and less with each update and that's sad. I chose this site because all the others offering a game like Risk had too much unnecessary crap going on now this is the gimmicky one.

None of your changes you make actually add anything to the gameplay or strategy, all your doing is keeping the ADD generation occupied. You've made this site into the Call of Duty of Risk gaming; more focus on action, less on thinking and tactics.

Wtf are you talking about? If your thing is just 1v1 on classic or whatever, then play only freaking 1v1 on classic. Stop shitting in the soup if 99% of the community enjoys having new stuff that no one is forcing you to play.
If you re just here to complain about the adds then upgrade to premium. Do you work for free?? Well why do you expect others to do so?
So who exactly are the "old players that left because of new additions?" Just curious how many names you can pull out!
