Board Game Arena

Hi, thanks for this implementation! I used to play a bunch of TM on the Snellman site, and one great feature it had was the ability to not have to pause your turn while the opponents decided on power gain. You could continue your turn while they decide, or you could click on a Wait button to force them to decide before you continue. Is this something we could implement here?

This is of course mostly only useful in async mode rather than Live. It would save a lot of time in these games.

I'm happy to discuss more on how the logic should work if this can be added!

This would be a great change. Unless they're on the verge of a power action that could alter my plans for this round, I would be continuing every time.

But yeah especially with the increased building and leeching in AoI, it feels like every. single. turn. you have to wait for someone to accept power and Round 6 takes no shorter than a month to complete because of it.

Very good idea. Turn based games take awfully lot of time to complete because of power gain.

Adding my voice to this idea. I also played a lot of TM on the Snellman site and it was a very nice feature that helped streamline games significantly. And with so much more going on in AoI there's a lot more power decisions to go around, as leafsnack has pointed out.

Something like this could improve async playtimes by a significant amount.

I hope this change could be implemented. I have largely stopped playing async because it is just too long with waiting for others decisions on your turn. A different game that adapts the rules to better accommodate async play is Apiary and the change makes it a much, much better BGA implementation.

Bumping this thread bc this needs to happen! This option would make aoi a lot more enjoyable.
