starting with a bonus

Last time, when I play 1 vs 1, it's often my opponent starts with a bonus and I don't. Probably, I've also started with a bonus a few times and my opponent didn't. Can't anyone do something about that, because it's very unfair for the one who starts without a bonus, the odds you'll win the game are very small.

It is unlikely that something will be done about this. If this is really bothering you, you should try to play maps where the chance of someone landing a bonus is smaller. You could also play games with multiple players.

my sugestion is

-Not play 1v1
-If you like them don't play them on small maps...(even if they get a bonus would be very small and wont affect)
-Play on games with startig points AoR,Feudal...

In my opinion, bonuses on smaller maps is a bigger advantage then on larger maps, because on small maos, just a few extra troops can swing the game in the other direction

My bad, I read it " Play them on small maps", not "Don't play them on small maps".. Oops :oops:

Well now I agree with you ;)
