Please take this seriously TeamCC, this is the worst update yet! Seriously, take it off my screen. Please. It looks horrible. Or at least make it an option. There was no need for this if people wanted this they should get BOB.

Cheers, JB ;)

Why is it showing the total number of territories in a game with Fog of War? It should only show the territories you can see. This is giving more information that it should give...

Bob is far far better, the options which are color coded make it much better. Can't stand scrolling to the side to read useless information which I already have beneath the screen. I find that and you must remove the data on fog games. It should only show what you can see. Please give me a remove button!!

Really, we need an option to not display this update. At the very least the spoils need to be back by the players names.

All in all, I can't stand this update.

If people wanted this and were not using Firefox they had no option of getting BOB. The argument to "just get BOB" is not a viable one.

It is. ;)

Make the horrible update optional.

This needs to be turn offable via the user profile and the previous version of bob that does all this stuff already maintained as a separate entity, I think its a good thing in general especially for non-firefox users but it needs to be a bit less unwieldy and certainly optional.

BOB gives you this information. It starts by counting your initial territories, and then adds and subtracts as you conquer territories and have yours conquered. This information is right there in the game log, it just saves you the time of reading through the log and doing the math.

No, making a blanket "go get BOB" statement on anything is not a viable option. Even if it were to be made optional, saying "just go get BOB" is still not a viable option.

Ok ok, I know OP. Sorry buddy I just have strong feelings about this new update and I agree that "just go get BOB" is not viable. Making it optional would be really really good though.

Its about time the playing field was leveled. I myself love not having to turn on Bob now though, which slows down my computer to a near standstill at times.

Just move the chat somewhere where I don't have to scroll up and down. I cant stand scrolling up and down especially during speed freestyle. Put it to the right of the map......or split the log and the chat......or give us an option to choose. The positive about the new update is getting rid of BOB, which is too slow and takes too long to load. Goodbye BOB.......about time.

Since some people are having to horizontal scroll now....which really stinks....can we have an option to decrease our entire font size when playing? That would solve my problem and maybe some others who are horizontal scrolling. Maybe have smallest, small, medium, large, extra large fonts. Then I could have everything up maybe with the smallest font size........? (I don't want to change my standard Firefox options just for CC)

I would rather scroll up and down than side to side. My mouse has a wheel and it's so easy to go up and down.

Something I just noticed: this is nice to have when playing the Conquerman map, which fries my BOB ever time. I definately think this should be made optional as opposed to straight up removed.

Command — (or) Control — will decrease your font size in any browser. It's already built in. ;)

This information is available by simply reading the log, it's not giving anything away.

Couldn't the spaces between the columns be reduced and aligned better.
And maybe put the spoils back to the left of the Player name.
That would help clean it up quite a bit...

the spoils are a matter of getting used to... nothing bad about putting them at the end.
but yeah some structure in the table would be nice


Perhaps these 4 words could be centered over their respective numbers to make the columns more even.

I think the stats shouldn't be on "Fog of War" games. It kind of defeats the purpose.

Yeah, you can always read through the game log and see how many countries and bonuses people are getting, but when you have a running tab right in your face, it's hard for people to make feints and bluffs, which are advantages TO fog of war games.

If people wanted this and were not using Firefox they had no option of getting BOB. The argument to "just get BOB" is not a viable one.


If they weren't using firefox then they are not true cc users. Seriously, are there really that many users out there who "can't" use firefox. Sure, there are users who don't know what a browser is, but if they play long enough then a friend can explain that; and then how to get greasemonkey etc.

Seems ridiculous, Unless your running windows 3.11 I can't imagine not being able to run firefox. I could be wrong, not a computer expert like you guys, but a lot of us premiums just get the greasemonkey scripts that we want. We should at least have the option to turn it off.

On a separate note, I don't think that the best usages of your time Lack is to keep updating to keep up with greasemonkey scripts, the scripts will always do more in my opinion. Bob can take screenshots now, and by the time you add that, bob will be giving us win percentages on potential attacks and other stuff. I think there are more important things than keeping up with greasemonkey scripts. It would be like mcdonalds trying to offer everything that's on the menu of every other restaurant, I don't think they could do that.

Just my opinion, but the updates are starting to get annoying. A lot of things are fine on this site. For people who care about stats, they will figure out how to get them. It's part of the fun of being on a site for a long time.

You forgot to check the CC update conversion chart.

Right around the corner = 3 weeks
Coming soon = 6-8 weeks
one or two months away = 6-9 months
"we are planning" = 12-15 months
"it's on the todo list" = never
