Just saw this, pretty interesting. :D

# Username Score [...] Rank
1 karelpietertje 5682 [...] Conqueror 4.7
2 King_Herpes 5682 [...] Field Marshal 4.7


Forgive me for not bothering to take a screen dump, but if in doubt, just trust me...

Will be interesting to see how they will position themselves before the next update.

Really, so that is the tie-breaker? Thought it was because he was ahead (i.e. preference given to the incumbent).

1 karelpietertje
Games Completed: 5243
Games Won: 3280 (63%)

2 King_Herpes
Games Completed: 4553
Games Won: 3603 (79%)

I would personally think that number of games won would be a more reasonable tie-breaker in that case. But, all in all, giving preference to the incumbent seems fairer.

Hmm, could've sworn win percentage was the tie-breaker... Oh, well

Well. Actually, at first it took a while for people to raise their score/rank. Initially, the rank General was the top rank, you needed 5000 points to get it I think, but it was pretty quickly changed to 3000 points. The rank Conqueror came a bit later (for the no 1 spot).

when I saw that I got exactly the 5 points difference between me and herps in a game, I expected him to be the conqueror still; I thought it was about how many games you have won, which is a better one than games imo...
this is not only in conqueror draws though... isn't it in all cases where 2 players have an equal score?
