I always want to know how many cards some-one has. In a Risk game it's important to know. I hope you all agree. I scroll up and down to count the cards people got. It should be more easy to see that info.
My idea for lack-attack is, to build in a counter behind the player's name which shows how many cards a player has.

that would eliminate a whole element of the game.

But in real board game of risk you can see there cards. (Not whats on them, but how many they have) However, MBK, you said you have to scroll up to see the cards. Yes that can be a hassle and an irratation but there are more pressing matters to be fixed. But it is still a good suggestion

Not really, you could just go through the log and count it.

That's what I said and that IS the problem. It's not easy to scroll the whole log and count all of the cards from everyone. And besides that, you need to check all the card that have been cashed in... It shouldn't be difficult to build in a counter so we all could easily see the number of cards people have.

One suggestion already made by me and some other players.
I think its in list of things to do of Lack.

like xMBXx, I have also spent many moments cointing how many cards people have, so If I am going to figure out how many paper-thingys people have, should'nt it be easier

I don't think it should post how many cards a person has. if you want to know look through the logs or keep track of it to begin with.
When I play real games I don't leave all my cards sitting on the table for people to count how many I have I try to keep it a secret.

I used to hate it when customers would tell me how easy the tree over their house was going to be to cut down......

Lack: You're doing fine.

Maybe you should make an option so people who want it 1 way play that way others who want it the otherway play the other way simple

It sure would be great if one could see quickly and easily how many cards each person is holding without having to go thru the history and counting. I offered this suggestion before...but thought I'd bring it back up.

Thanks for listening.

reading other posts found solution from TR0Y...thanks...installed your script, and now have what I need...THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!

A good feature would be to see how many cards you opponents have.

It would help you make better descicions on wether to take out Player A or Player B.

you can already do this with a simple greasemonkey script that Troy was nice enough to write for us. Check out his Thread

I think it would be very helpful if we could see how many cards each player has during any point of the game. In escalating games especially the cards play a huge role in strategy...possibly the biggest role...and it is a pain to have to go through the game log and figure out how many cards each player has. Anyway, I think this would be really helpful and probably not hard to add. There could just be a number displayed next to each users name in the list to let you know how many cards everyone has.

Ask and you may receive...

Troy's Script. It shows how many cards any person has, next redemption value, army strength, etc. Check it out

Greese monkey rocks!!!

Awesome

It's going to take me a bit to get familiar with this site and the main contributors but you guys all seem great. Thanks for the help!

I have a question though about why these updates are installed through a seperate download...I guess Troy worked independently from CC to create the update? But it seems like it would be much easier if his programming could be incorporated into the existing CC program because then everyone could have the updated tools without downloading anything else. I'm sure you have all thought of that, so I'm sorry if its a dumb question. In any case, this seems like a great tool so I can't wait to try it out.

wow, this really is an awesome addition. It will make gameplay much easier than keeping track of the cards by hand You truly are the man Troy!

Show number of cards each player holds?

Get greasemonkey

Also, all you have to do is count the cards collected by a player and then count the cards used by that player, and you'll find out that way.

I already do that....but thats what we have computers for??

its on lacks to-do list anyway

and when that update goes live.... things are going to be very fair & very tight...

If everyone has the same info - then tactics will be the key to winning a game.

errrrrrrr....

Forget that last statement about tactics.
The dice are so full of shit at the moment
that tactics, greasemonkey, ownership of territories, blah, blah, blah, - Are all a waste of time. A 3 v 2 dice should give an attacker an advantage. But throw your dice against anyone with 2 or more on the area you're attacking then expect to be raped
