Arena Season 2 - Games configuration changes (complete list)

[sourisdudesert]

Here is the complete list of all games configuration changes for the Arena Season 2 (compared to Season 1).

_ Carcassonne: Base game only (= official format for Carcassonne tournament).
_ Terra Mystica: Landscape is OFF.
_ Quantum: 2 players.
_ Race for the Galaxy: no more Brink of war + takeover are randomly ON or OFF (50% chance that it is ON/OFF) (both config are interesting, so RFTG Arena champions have to master both ).
_ Stone age: 4 players (even season).
_ 7 Wonders: 4 players (even season).
_ Kalah: 4 stones (even season).
_ Tokaido: Crossroad is active (even season).
_ Ruhr: 2 players (makes it easier to start game).
_ Red 7: 2 players, Win 2 hands (as requested by you).
_ Saboteur: 6 players

Thanks souris for this list.

No settings change for Nine Men‘s Morris?

Current settings (no flying with 3 stones left) are reducing the balance of the game heavily, and are not along official rules for this game. And me as well as several others asked for it nicely in the season 1 arena thread and at other occasions

Kalah with 4 stones is really not a great game.
I'm sure all the top players (Helger, Trespiatok, Roua, etc. etc.) would much prefer to alternate between 5 and 6

Hi

Please do not hesitate to create polls in forum dedicated games about Arena games configuration.

We cannot change Arena configuration based on only few posts here, because the players who are fine with the current situation do not post anything

Ok... I specifically asked the dev of the game where to push this forward, and he said the bug report suggestion section would not be the right place for this (so he‘d just close it as „wont fix“, as he did with another similar suggestion...)

The discussion post in the game forum does exist since many weeks, but the attention of players there is low, and so was the participation. Among the top / active Nine Men‘s Morris players, almost all would agree that the flying version is standard /preferable.

You can refer to these forum posts where basically all the top players agree that 4-stones is not suitable for serious competition.

With Red7 changing to two players, should it also go to victory condition needing to win two hands?

Awww, I liked the landscapes in TM. Also, would have liked to see some variety with the maps. But anyhow, I'll adapt with everyone else.

Hello, how do we create polls? I really want to create polls for arena setting discussion like For Sale (5 players anyone?), Through the Ages, new stories (3 players anyone?) and Puerto Rico (4 players no?)
