Ambush Set To Auto

[Col Rosenberg]

Days of Wonder specifically asked us to enforce two ways game for any competitive settings : ranked game and arena.

And?

And my mother specifically asked me to change my underwear every two weeks.

Sounds a bit like some kind of Godwin's law... first one to go crassly off-topic, concedes the argument.

You keep saying DoW M44 promoted one side matches. But on DoW DoW, Richard Borg and the community also preferred to play both sides.

DoW was a thriving community, despite what "DoW, Richard Borg and the community" wanted!
Let DoW speak for itself. "You want other to play by your tune."

In my opinion Memoir’44 has a thriving community not despite DoW, Richard Borg and the community but because of DoW (still supporting real life tournaments, supporting this move from the no longer developing online to BGA still making expansions for an 18 year old game) Richard Borg (keeping in touch and making new expansions although he has other newer games too) and the community (taking time and effort to organise real life and online tournaments real life playdays and evenings and/or participating in all of this)

You yourself are a passionate advocate of Memoir’44, and I applaud you for that!

Example: Player A making his last attack, resulting in player B having to retreat. Player A is now done with his turn, without drawing new card...Not knowing if his new card is the Ambush card. Thereby Preventing player, A an opportunity to playing his newly (unknown to him) acquired Ambush card (If he were to draw it from the deck) before player B executes his next attack.

This is the Answer you're looking for (unless I'm missing something). This would be a (only?) valid reason for not using auto pass button.

Yes, players were Honor bound to play two games...It was still optional, and it worked fine. Here at BGA it is Law, no need for Honor - when quitting is legal.

Lol, so you are not even trying to understand how bga works before criticizing it.
Bga game adaptations need a publisher license approval, so they are the ones that have the final word over everything. If they dont like how the adaptation is made, they can just retract the license and then the game is removed from bga.
So yeah, when the publisher asked us to implement it that way, we made it that way so that the game could come to bga, not sorry for that.

I completely disagree - it never worked fine. SO many of the really good maps weren't played because people didn't want to play a "no chance of winning" side in a match.

@Tisaac:
Are you telling me your hands are tied? DoW had a popular site run (without support) for ten years and they are forcing BGA to revamp their (DoW's) entire format, the one that worked (profitable) so well for them...Boy, they must have seen you coming! (Wasn't single game play implemented when M44 was first introduced on BGA?)

I'm not trying to argue. I'm simply pointing out the Facts. Arena and the Basic game have the exact same format...Arena is in basic is out. Real-time play is being strangled to death. Random is in, Certain Scenarios are out. M44 has taken a turn for the worse. You mentioned that real-time might pick up in a month or two. You're a Dev it's not going to come to you, you have to make it happen. No worries, (lucky for you) I'm here to take care of you.

Quitters have gone up tenfold since I joined Arena. THIS SHOULD BOTHER YOU!

I'm hoping you develop a heart for this game. Having only played 2 games I don't see it happening.
It is up to you to lead this game and its players into the Promised land.

Thank you for all your hard work. Youve made this game enjoyable, even if it's only for a short while.

How is that any different here? NO! so just eliminate those Scenario's from the mix just because "people didn't want to play a "no chance of winning" side in a match."

How do you figure? If you were playing Random, they were being played.

Yep, hand tied. Nope, single game wanst even developped at first on bga and was added only in training mode latter.

Wasn't there a certain issue having to do with a player, who was top player, having played only one-sided matches? I do remember reading it somewhere.
