Board Game Arena

I want to add to the several other comments regarding bringing back the "It's Your Turn" banner. In my opinion this was the single most important item on the website (besides the games themselves, of course). Normally all I really care about is to 1) quickly know that it's my turn to play ...

I agree with most of what galehar and Nog_eentje_dan have said. Initially it may seem like high military and settling big military worlds is the optimum strategy, but this is not case. In my opinion, there is good balance between all the major strategies in this expansion, and as galehar has noted, ...

If XI wins (which I’m hoping is the case) then I think the invasion game should be included in all Arena games. That is, it should not be random like Takeovers in RvI. IMO the invasion game is what makes XI the best Race expansion, and removing it significantly changes the gameplay.

I have a suggestion for solving one of the issues, why not applying the EAS / ELO points won or lost by chronological order? If you take into account the starting date of a game, you can implement a system that waits until your previous games are finished before updating your EAS / ELO points. This...

I can say as someone who regularly tests Alpha and Beta games that this would be a terrible policy for general turn-based games. If a game has a blocking bug that makes it impossible to make any move (Troyes for example), I could end up going overtime on other tables where it’s my turn (or lose rep...

Sourisdudesert, can you please comment on why you think my solution above of forcing moves in older games first won't work (or can't be implemented)? I know at least one other gaming website that has implemented a similar measure to combat the issues raised here. I can say as someone who regularly ...

Sourisdudesert, can you please comment on why you think my solution above of forcing moves in older games first won't work (or can't be implemented)? Because it does not solve the problem, and only limit it (ex1: you keep a turn based game 1 move to win while playing realtime so that you can "...
