I really don't like this option, too many ways to exploit this mechanism. Should I always leave at least 1 troop in the city if I distrust my ally ?

Leaving a troop is a way to prevent this if you don't trust your ally.

Keep in mind, there are only a handful of players who do this sort of thing, and they are usually newer players who aren't aware of how low this kind of action is. Player's that do this quickly lose friends, are enemy listed by everyone, and find themselves banned from everyone's games if they don't change their ways.

This is fixed

Why the submarines are gone?

They'll be back (along with heli's.) Dave has been sent a message... he'll fix it soon.

I've messaged Dave regarding the subs/heli bug going on.

@andiisnan I've given you 70 PC back.

Hey after playing atwar all these years i always noticed that where all our units are listed with the numbers of the different units like air transport and subs which for example in a casual game im in right now i know exactly i just have 2 air transports but why is it showing 7 and im paying the upkeep for 7 air transports but only got 2... and no i didnt even built 7 and lost 5 or somthing like that its a new game round 5-6 or so and it is always wrong in every game i ever checked ... i even searched the forum and found nothing about anyone else having this problem .. hope somebody can answer me

This is a persistent bug that seems like an easy fix, but it has eluded both the original developer (Amok) as well as Dave. Just know in casual games, the count is accurate at the start of the turn, and remains accurate 'under the hood' when the calculations are made. What is incorrect is the display... you will notice, particularly with transports, that when you move them, that is when their count goes up.. the bug counts the original position, and then when you move it somewhere, it SOMETIMES counts it as a new unit. So by the end of your turn, a single transport can be counted a few times, leading to high counts for those units. But you will see that despite the 'display' (which can often give high numbers, and result in your income dipping into negative numbers) the actual calculations at the start of the new turn are accurate. ♥

Locked. Rule Violations.

Thanks for the update.... I will message Paradox/Enigma to play their games

Yeah, the translations system has been broken ever since I took over atWar Will keep this open...

Please no pillory of players, or in this case, clans as a group of players. ♥

locked

Translation isn't discontinued, it's still an "active" way anyone can contribute to the game. I'm not completely sure, but i believe the English lines you see are lines that have been translated, but not approved by the German language moderators (Sascha).

If something is translated wrong, it's probably because Sascha was lobotomized a few years ago and has trouble writing German and English. Please bear with him as he continues to learn the new him.

Major support for disabling fund option, would help in so many scenarios

well it's part of the strategy made by the team if we cannot fund anymore allies, that make the scenario strictly restrictied to the classic way which make the game very boring and repetitive

It's part of the game, true. You could still opt out of course, so i don't see the problem with having it as an option to solve a problem.

Political violence is never the answer, even if she might be a corrupt bitch.

The playoffs have begun, and any official notices needed to guide the playoffs to their conclusion will be posted here.

the USA is wide open as are several other countries; the opponents (like me) are pushover, in my humble opinion; (well I am and the fact that I'm still in the game, tells me the other dude can't be super great; just saying

The max joining turn has passed. Not sure if you want to delete this thread?

...

That could work. Though maybe allowing missing one turn up to turn 10, then allow two turns past that mark.
Or, I'm not sure if this this'll be easy to implement but, instead of the game auto-kicking: give the host kicking power for someone who missed a turn in the first 10, and leave it to them. That would allow the nuance for a case-by-case basis.

Ultimately, whichever version of this suggestion gets implemented will definitely be an improvement. I'm not picky.

Yeah, host having kicking might even be better. Players could then message host their particular (real life) circumstances, and host could respond accordingly. Then host could still keep the game moving by kicking players who start, but never return.

Problem: Currently if you're running a scenario someone can join, select an important role, then leave early in the game. And no new players can come and take up the mantle of that role. This is frustrating especially after creators spend hours balancing their scenarios only to have a huge piece (or pieces) missing by turn 2 or 3. And that issue is even more frustrating for those who play Casual.

Solution: If there was a way to allow new players to join and assume the scenario role of the lost player that would make it a lot easier to keep a game together.

---

Problem 2: In Quick Games, if you miss a few turns you can be kicked for inactivity. But in Casual Games, there is no hope for you if you have to miss a turn. You're immediately and automatically kicked. Casual Games are supposed to tailor to those who's real lives can get in the way, and I've had games I was playing for over a month long that I got booted from because of a last-minute issue keeping me from logging in for a day. Which you can imagine is infuriating.

Solution 2: Adding a setting that determines how many turns someone can miss in a Casual Game, so hosts can make that decision themselves.

The second suggestion might be easy to implement. If i see Dave i'll mention it to him, but can i make a suggestion on the suggestion... as someone who has the same issue, i tend to join 48 hour games, and i still occasionally get kicked if i have to be away for 3 or 4 days. As you may know already, it used to be like the quick games, allowing 3 turns before you got kicked... but in 48 hour games, that means about a week wait to get to turn 4 if there's a player or two who join and never play again.) So rather than have an option, it might even be easier for Dave to just implement the 1 turn kick for the first 10 turns. After 10 turns, everyone in the game is invested and the non-committed players have already been removed, so if something does call a player away for a few days, they could miss a turn or two before being kicked. Would that also work? i only suggest it because Dave has zero time these days, but it might only take a couple minutes of his time to make this type of change.

...because we simply do not know, and because the possibility fits so well with my other bullet points, I've decided to include it simply as an observation. Again, the original post was a stream of consciousness where I just list a series of observations that seem to bother me. ....


... I like to try and question these frameworks because, in all likelihood Brian, the frameworks that we've established thus far are wrong. Mankind has only been truly cognizant about the stars and the physics around us for a few hundred years. Every year that goes by is one year before the next million or more (assuming no self-annihilation inter alia).

You mentioned you had a stream of consciousness... not sure if you intended that to connect to your original opening line, but to me, it's strongly connected. If 'consciousness' is fundamental, then the nature of reality is a subset of consciousness. Therefor, it is logical and consistent, to contemplate the nature of reality, as we are blessed with this ability. This is what you initially said that caught my interest: that we ought to be contemplating the nature of reality at all times.

So if you are sincere, and not trolling, then please accept my error was not intentional, but the product of an evolving consciousness with a lot more evolution to go. ♥

However, even if 'consciousness' is not fundamental, it still seems a fairly enticing and reasonable action, to contemplate the nature of reality.

The second part, about established frameworks being questioned, and likely being wrong... respect for that. It is not easy to swim against the current - far easier to turn off the critical thinking and stop asking questions.

That has not been proven at all, I would like the idea that there is a fundamental minimum length and time that cannot be divided further but that's contrary to what science has thus far proven and to basic intuition....

You used the word 'proven' which is problematic in science. Proofs can be used in math and legal fields, but science is evidence based. (i.e. nothing can be "proven" in science.)


1. Nothing in science is 'proven' until all possible observations have been made.
2. Not all possible observations have been made.
3. Therefore, general accepted principle in science is nothing can be proven.
4. You claim "that's contrary to what science has thus far proven".

3 and 4 are incompatible.

Have you ever contemplated the definition of a troll?

I'll reconsider if you can show any evidence to the contrary, but after a brief search, i can confirm every attempt at finding a length less than a planck length has failed... if you know something scientists don't, let it be published!

I believe it important that we, as a complex entities with complex minds, seriously contemplate the nature of reality at all times, and allow this contemplation to guide our everyday actions.
...

Not sure if this is troll bait... but i liked your opening, and agree with it, so will respond on philosophical grounds. However i only got to the first bullet point before realizing you either were trolling or haven't done much contemplation, so i'll just address your first bullet before reading further:

You claim:

"There is no limit to the smallest unit of space or time. We can zoom in and out of space and time indefinitely. For example, we can divide a "second" by half an infinite amount of times. This property of reality seems to indicate that there is nothing truly fundamental about space or time; instead, there are only approximations of space and time. I will use this as evidence that we, at least, cannot invalidate the notion of the block universe."

Of course this has been known to be false for over a century now... both for planck length and planck time. You mentioned time. Planck time constant was determined around 1900 according to most credible sources. Since time can be quantized, it is consistent with the 'simulation hypothesis' (i.e. that we are living in a video game) and these quantized units represent the limits of the processor running our particular game (in much the same way video games have quantized pixels for length, and frame rates for time.)

What's really amazing about this, is that because time can't be divided indefinitely, the system is REAL. (An infinite system can't be real, since infinity doesn't exist in reality.) So because the system is finite, it can be defined, and is therefor real... chew on that for a moment of existential contemplation, as once you do a bit more research to fact check, you'll likely have a major shift in your world view.

No need for more ideas since Dave is already struggling to find time to deliver essential solutions.

Hey I've kept atWar running, which by itself is an accomplishment.

This is forum post to discuss: "Asking the general public for their opinion about a certain tactic and/or combination."

...

Speaking as a player, it's simple... play according to how the game was meant to be played. One of the great things about most of the AW community is that people get this. No one has fun when players use an exploit to win... it just wastes time. Even the player abusing the exploit eventually gets banned from other's games, and then wonders why no one lets them join.

In this case:

For a R10 to not understand why it's wrong to use an exploit is inexcusable in my opinion. A R10 has been around enough to have it happen to them, and knows through experience that it ruins everyone's fun. If it was a R5, i might give them the benefit of the doubt, and if they apologize or agree to stop, i would probably give them another chance.

As DireWarlord already said, if you're new, and you're not sure, there's no harm in asking. This would solve every problem, every time. But if you do make the mistake, own up to it, and don't blame another player. The excuse 'another player did it to me' is beyond lame ... i guarantee that for every low conduct player who abuses, there were 20 (probably more) that didn't, so you're intentionally copying the actions of low conduct players, and ignoring the honourable players that are leading by example.
=================
As for leaving the game, it's a tough one ... in general, stay if you can.

In this case:

The player asked permission and got a response from his allies it was okay to leave... this shows respect and honour in my view, so in this case, it's perfectly acceptable.

Nobody gets any PCs until you message me directly.

The translation system is broken... has been broken since before even I was around.... I have to manually verify and send PCs.... nobody gets them automatically, and no mod can give them to you.

pls give me my pc becouse this is not fair

Hi Konstantin_Bodin. Just visited the translation forum, and as far as i can see, it's been over 2 years since there has been any activity. The original criteria for pc rewarded in recognition of translation was begun by Ivan and Amok (prior to Dave taking ownership.) As a result, Dave will first have to confirm that the rewards haven't changed, and second, whether a mod is able to give these.

Regrets if there is any further delay, but the issue hasn't come up before until you brought it up. Perhaps message me privately if Dave doesn't respond in the next 2 days, and we can ensure you are correctly rewarded. ♥
