Game Statistics

[laddida]

what do i do if im not allowed to download anything or update anything on a computer in which im forced to take over 90% of my cc time at? I dont wanna be forced to only play 2 or 3 games either this doesnt bold well for me and my future here. And yes even java is not allowed on my work computer i wish though. Will i still be able to log on from there without java?

Javascript (not Java) is used on most internet pages, like gmail and a lot of other sites. There are some obscure browsers that don't have it, and some very stubborn ppl in some companies could say it's a security risk (though that was years ago). Naah, I think Lack's quite safe with this update, I'd be amazed if it doesn't work for everyone.

ill find out tomorrow for sure. But your probably right ill be fine.

Messes with BOB and Foggy games. Bad update

[siukong]

This is definitely going to change things. No longer will I have to always point out when another player is expanding completely unchecked and has as many troops as all other players combined. But it will also be much more difficult to try and quietly build up my own strength unnoticed.

I'm also curious about how this will work in fog of war games. Will general reinforcements be shown but not spoils (ie like before you'll know how many territories/troops due an enemy has but not necessarily their overall strength or their continents)?

Not sure if I like some of the changes this move suggests, but overall I think game quality will go up (there should be a large drop in some common "balanced play" mistakes which basically give the game to a particular player). I just hope it doesn't swing the other way where every other game is of the "100+ rounds of each player fortifying" type.

GREAT! But this sounds like another thing to help the noobs win 8( What I see is the playing field getting more equal. The NOOBZ will join higher ranks games in hopes of winning because of the imbalance/balance. A filter should be introduced but, you have plenty to do.

Javascript ... some very stubborn ppl in some companies could say it's a security risk (though that was years ago).

omg. this is a pretty naive statement.
if you'd like, i could point you some 'harmless' javascript.
there's plenty of examples out there waiting to pwn you.

[natty dread]

great update, thanks lack!

Anyone who complains about noobs winning more easily are obviously farmers and should be ashamed of continuing to exist! Just learn to play better...

[Mad-elph]

I think it is a great update except for in 'fog of war' games simply because of the 'armies due' tab. Other than this, the update seems amazing!!!
Great work lack

For those complaining about fog of war games, it has always stated before hand in the game log "received 3 troops for 4 regions" or whatever. It was always there to be seen and all you had to do was read to see if someone attacked them since their last turn to figure out how many they had. This just takes the guess work out. The info was always there, you just had to scroll a little.

Furthermore it doesn't divulge how many armies are coming. It lease it as a "?"

Lazy buggers!

Note to users of the "BOB" community plugin: This update breaks BOB's compatibility with Conquer Club, but sherkaner (who is maintaining the script) has graciously programmed a new version (4.9.7) special for this update, so please upgrade.

Greetings,

Just updated BOB to the latest version (4.9.7) but it hasn't fixed the problem.
Is the update specific to only Windows IE or should it work on all browsers like Firefox and Safari?

It's a fair idea, but would need to think about placing it somewhere else. Below attack/reinforce action section under map, maybe?

Thanks.

It looks really nice, but i do not like the fact that now everybody can see how many territories other people have in games with fog of war. like in one game i have been doing very well until now (i have almost half of the map), but i'm worried it's game over for me once the other players see how many territories i have.


i know it was possible to find this out by looking at the log before, but i think most people were too lazy to do that. So i'd like it if the number of territories wasn't shown in fog of war games

[MyTurnToWin]

Great!

With my not running too well computer, I was reluctant to download Firefox, grease monkey and BOB... I figured the poor ol' thing would expire with the "overload". Now I, too, can have statistics at my fingertips.

Oh, and my monitor loves it because I no longer have to count and be constantly touching the screen with my fingertip.

Thanks for the update. And a big laugh to all the point farmers who have lost some of their edge with new and/or unsuspecting players.

[KidWhisky]

Oh man this is fantastic. Thanks Lack!! Now I don't have to load the log and scroll tons to find out who is first on my elimination list.

[Georgije]

and another thing, what does "Due" mean?

EDIT: nevermind, figured it out

[kgbpizza]

Generally I like the addition.... although I noticed that in Fog games it still displays the total region count for each player. I wonder if that can be changed somehow. Otherwise happy.

[Mommy2Jesse]

Nice!
The only complaint I have is the way it makes the game look on my browser, but other than that.. I'm pleased.

[Bruceswar]

These stats do not slow the game down. I don't see any good reason to disable them.

Personally I find them in my way and very annoying. I would love to disable them. They are just a waste of space to me. I can count on my own.
