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.
That's exactly what Dow wanted to avoid and thus asking for two ways match from the very beginning of the game dev.

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.
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.
There wasn't any random play on DoW. You picked a map and played it.

We have the stats of map played on the online app and the "played regurlary" pool was soooo small. The base game scenarios represented something like 50% of all games played, and it goes up to 80% with the current official implemented scenarios (taking only standard mode into account since Online App didn't had Breakout....)

It was my feeling too - but remember that a lot of these play was also from people "checking out" the online app - and it's only logical that they'll test it against maps that they know from real life, i.e. mostly the ones from the box game.

Still - KEEPING people interested requires more than those base-box games.

Honestly I'm already pretty happy about the potential that tournaments will have here on BGA compared to DoW, and you guys deserve great credit for the implementation, and the opening up to the FULL library of SFTF maps from DoW is just brilliant.
