Change to Round Limits in Team Games?

by **Ace Rimmer** on Fri Jun 08, 2012 10:27 am

I would guess it works this way because lack spends most of his time playing casual games instead of team games, so he doesn't understand the team dynamic as well.

Going to convert this to a suggestion thread sometime - but keep voting/commenting to show your support!

Oh my god, honey, I totes agree. Capitalism at its worst!

It sucks when, in a team game, the last 10 turns or so before the round limit hits everybody spends the whole time forting their stacks to the person with the highest troop count to try to inflate that number. It's counter-intuitive.

Good suggestion.

cuz it takes more time to code that in perhaps?

If it's the easiest way to implement it, you can bet Captain CC will jump all over that shit.

I just cant see the logic in why it was coded this way in the first place, team game means team but obviously there is an 'i' in team CC

Bump for my support

76 votes total. I'd say that even though the poll shows overwhelming support for changing this rule, CC could care less about what 76 people think. Share this with your clan mates and your round limit teams!

It's been posted in the AOC forum

It is definitely a change that I'd like to see. I think the current setup does make for some interesting gameplay, but I think the spirit of team games is probably more aligned with this change.

In case someone doesn´t see how the actual rule can be abused and is abused, please check

Game 11332819
Game 11328764
Game 11332881

If you don´t see which kind of advantage you get when you "just" miss turn 18 & 19 but not deadbeat, pm Kaskavel or mc, they will be able to explain you how you can get a great to chance to win a game you would lose otherwise, by taking advantage of missed turns. Only in case they refuse to explain, pm me.

That said, i support the change of rule Ace Rimmer suggests. About intentionally missed turns i will try to make a suggestion too if i find a good solution. Might be difficult but seems to be needed.
