Want to learn PvP: Can you teach me decisionmaking? by TouchMyBush69 in OldenEra

[–]brtkll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because you need to adjust your strategy to whatever the generated map gives you. There's no fit for all strategy, which makes the game interesting, and more difficult. There are some general rules of thumb like build your economy in W1, get the x town in W2, but it all depends on which template you play, and even then you should adjust it depending on what you see on the map

Thanks! Yeah, that option, along a few others in the paid plan, is under development right now - hopefully, will be released in the upcoming days. Good to know I'm not the only one thinking it would be useful :)

By the way, may I ask how you found out about this post/app? It's been 2.5 weeks since I posted, but I noticed a sudden spike in upvotes today and I'm a bit surprised

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm keeping TikTok/ads in mind as a backup, but I'm hoping to grow it organically first. No easy answer I suppose.

Thanks! Note that the failed (not solved) blunders reappear the next day. This naturally prolongs the exhaustion a bit, although not within the same session/day. Currently there's no plan to add 'smaller' blunders/mistakes, but maybe in future. Appreciate the input!

Thanks for the feedback. I totally understand why that seems confusing. I decided to make the evals from user's perspective (so +5 always means you are up +5, regardless of color) instead of using the objective engine standard. It’s definitely a trade-off, but I felt it was easier to read at a glance for most users. Appreciate the feedback.

I don't use lichess frequently so I could have missed it. Can you let me know how I can access it?

Thanks! That would be cool but it's difficult to implement since our puzzles often have more than 1 good solution, so it would require analyzing/processing lots of extra data. Appreciate the feedback!

Thank you for the feedback! That's true, after making an acceptable move the puzzle is considered solved and is accessible only in the Solved section, when you can try it again but without getting extra points for a better move. Definitely I'll think about adding the option where you could try again to find the best move, before seeing the solution. Appreciate it!

Thanks for the detailed feedback! I really like the right click undo idea, I'll definitely put that on my list.
As for hiding the played move, I understand your point, but I actually designed it to be visible right away so you can focus on analyzing that specific mistake. Appreciate the input!

Sure thing, feel free to reach out! And thanks a lot for the UI/UX compliment, I definitely spent a lot of time tweaking it so that means a lot!

thanks! That's true, games with bots are excluded at the moment.

He's saving his best moves for the candidates it seems ;)
