Capped Cards Game Setting

Posted by Admin, 06 May 2013, 03:52 am.

Capped Cards

The brilliant idea that Glanru came up with on 24 April 2011 is now a reality. His original thinking was that in 2p games it's nice to play with fixed cards but the problem is that the player who gets a set first gets a huge advantage. So he came up with the idea to increase the cards like normal but then cap it when it's reached a certain amount. For example in a two player game it might be ideal to cap it at 8.

With more players it might be better to cap it at 20. But you can also cap it at any of these values: 8,10,12,15,20,25...50.

This option will also work great with the new Domination Game Type provided that you don't set the cap too high compared to the number of players you have.

The update may make the live game lobby list display incorrectly. You may have to do a few CTRL + F5's to get it working or in some browsers it's easier to get it working right by clearing your browser cache.

Server

Thanks to all the players who have been buying premium. We are now able to consider a small speed upgrade to the server. It won't be a problem as long as the premium memberships keep coming. There are no details yet about when we will do the upgrade, we first have to chat with the hosting company.

Fabulous. Too many games are decided by huge card turn-ins, capping that number is a great idea.

Got a message about capped games not working. will do a test

Hey Hoodlum. I see you are admin. I don't think I've went about it the right way but I've tried to highlight to admin that the turn in limits aren't working in the games I've been playing. As you may know I only play one type of game and I always set the card turn in limit to 10 armies. For a while now the limit hasn't set for games and we end up with turn ins of 20+ armies if the games go on long enough. Kind of makes the games absurd when there are that many armies coming in to play. Wondered if you might know who to communicate with to fix that.

Thanks!

If this is what I think it is, it's a problem with the select things in the create a game page.
I should remake that page. It almost always works (it always does for me). But apparently sometimes it bugs out for other ppl.

In the short term, try upgrading your browser to the latest version - either that or try clicking the capped card setting twice.
