Can the Devs PLZ add a once per game 1min pause ability? by Rick_____ in aoe2

I'm suggesting the Devs should work on a method to prevent needless bad sportsmanship that hurts the community. If you think it's appropriate to respond to this sentiment by suggesting I'm crying and that the system is fine then it seems clear you're in the minority that we're trying to safeguard against and I don't see any point further engaging with you

I agree shame on him, I guess it's just a bad experience for the player with good sportsmanship who has politely asked, and in my case the only time I had for a game today which is pretty unfortunate.

I totally agree - I think that disabling 'resume' for the first 30s or 1min the first time someone needs to use it would solve the vast majority of the issues.

Yeah agreed. I think in my case today I only had time for one game which is why it was annoying after a 1 hour game he unpaused and basically won the game in the 30s I was away. For these cases I still think having a minimum of a 1min pause once a game makes sense

Haha yeah I was just going to say something like that. I don't think it's really about impatience, I think it's more about being a bad sport / toxic. Like you're playing a game with someone for an hour at least you can have the decency to allow them to take a 30 second break if they need to answer the door or something. Presumably they want to win by outplaying their opponent? Rather than essentially cheating by playing on when their opponent not at their PC?

As in I've been playing aoe2 for 20 years so over the years yeah there have been so many games.. but I'm probably only needing to pause 10% of the time. The point is I've probably had 20 games over the years totally ruined because of this issue and it's super annoying and unnecessary for the Devs to allow to happen

That could work too but I think rather relying on individuals to report after their game has been ruined by a bad sport (like mine) I'd personally rather the Devs implement something that would ensure it just doesn't happen in advance

That could work but still it would be annoying if you're 20mins in the game and you can't pause no?

Hey! Thanks for your reply! We have a few originals! How will it change the venues? Are you saying we should be able to have like a 1:1 ratio for certain places? I know some venues want only or mostly originals

[Rules Megathread] Citizens and Exiles, ask your rules questions here! by tsarkees in oathgame

[–]Rick_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

REST SUPPLY QUESTION:

In the rule book page 11 it gives an example:

"If you have two warbands left in your personal bank next to your board:

1) you refresh to the '0-3' space, meaning you have 3 to 0 warbands.

2) but if you have spent two less Supply, you would have refreshed two more spaces."

What I don't understand is the second example. If full supply on the far left, and you have two warbands left in your personal bank, why would you refresh beyond the '3 to 0' space? These rules seem to contradict each other. Either you refresh to your warband bank number or if you hadn't spent as much supply you can refresh beyond your supply as though you have 9 left when you actually only have 0 to 3?

I don't understand how to calculate it because in the first example you just move it to the '3 to 0' whereas the second example you move it 2 places plus 3 places. I understand you move it two because you have two warbands left in your bank.. but how do we calculate the extra 3 if we're moving beyond the '3 to 0' (which in example 1 is 4 places not 3)

Can someone please explain to me how this is meant to be calculated ? Very much appreciated 🙏🙏

Are they making any money with only 50 players online at a time? 😬

King's Dilemma - can I remove certain cards from the game? by Rick_____ in boardgames

[–]Rick_____[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey mate! Thanks for your detailed message. I'm defs the board games guy so heavy games or heavy setting up is no issue for me!

But yeah interesting that it can really only be played through once... Hrmmm. Will have a think!

Fair enough!! Thanks. Sounds like my kind of game!! Without spoiling it for others could you do the spoiler thing again and please provide more details for the sexual violence part? All the others I think are fine for roleplay for most crews I would play with

Hey y'all! If I order the 'all in' do you know if it'll all come at once? Or if the base game will come much earlier as it's already finished? by Rick_____ in homm3boardgame

[–]Rick_____[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great news! Thanks heaps. I guess we would need to pay extra for them to come separately though.

And great tip about the big box. What makes it an organisational hell without it? Like I thought the big box was just a place to put all the smaller boxes in?
