RT Game of the Week

[DeadJester]

Just finished my first game ever on the Mexican-American map and it's a pretty cool map and settings to play with, although I'd recommend a multi-player game. The 1 v 1 doesn't really work in my opinion, especially when your opponent goes AWOL.

@Beanz - since most new players haven't played teams games before it's likely a lot of them will make the mistake of attacking teammates in the first few games, so you might want to add a note "choose warm colors red yellow orange for teammates and cold colors for opponents blue purple black" or something like that... (or make these colors are the default setting hoping players will get the message)

That is a good idea, most people don't know when they start that the colours are set by us!

Any chance of bringing 1v1 Mesopotamia map back as a default rt option as well? Never did my score total any favours but I always liked it as a quick game option when nothing else was going on in the lobby...

I wouldn't mind Mars, Cold War Europe and Sea of Japan, escalite, 3 - path, and more than 2 players if possible. Thanks for considering.

Matj: among the regular players in casual games there are also insane players, suicidal players, harassers, idiots in general (sometimes the frontier is blurred). 2 of them even dare to whine about RT in this thread, which is funny

Stupidity does not only belong to RT, it's what I mean

Empirejeff - on the Australia triples: "most games had an unequal number of awols"

As much as I love triples games, perhaps it's better not to give players exactly what they ask, but what you know they'll enjoy the most...
If you make that a doubles instead of a triples, chances of games without awols are much higher

 

[empirejeff]

I did enjoy the triple game through.

 

[AuraCraft]

even the ones where you were on the team with more awols than the other team ?

 

[empirejeff]

I meant to say some of the triple games were enjoyable.

A lot of that was new players not showing up.

Tormenta:

OK, psych screening for all players.
Most are known, so can avoid games unless they join last - just to break balls


But I can't assess the math fails
Should be some way of knowing who dropped out of primary school
So I am working on a 4th grade math test

1) 3 players left - each have 300 troops - each with 3 cards (reserves) - bonus is 100
Your turn and you have the 3 card match - turn it in and have 400 troops !
Should you take out one of the other players 400 troops and get his 3 cards ????
You will have 4 cards - that you might be able to cash in for another set of 105 troops - NEXT TURN

(These math wizzes take me out - and then lose to the 3rd player next turn )

2) You have a 3 card set and can muster 100 troops against a player with 4 cards and 100 troops
Do you go for it?

even even if 100 takes 100 - it has no value unless that player has 5 cards - and the other players cant mount a fatal attack next turn

The RT Game of the Week this week comes from a request by AuraCraft

Balkan Peninsula - 2 Players - Standard - escalate - one - Border - 5 min (Real Time) - Chance - Public​

Current list of requested settings can be found here

 

[AuraCraft]

It seems that with 4 RT 1 vs 1 games available (classic, meso, 12 domains and balkans), players join the map they prefer, so there are several games awaiting a second player, so it takes longer for a game to start... how about disabling Mesopotamia and/or 12 domains for as long as Balkans is free to play? The longer it takes for a game to start, the more awols...

 

[Cardinalsrule]

People REQUESTED Mesopotamia and 12Domains specifically. We're not going to disable them.
