NO BONUSES 1st ROUND

by **THE ARMY** on Sat Mar 01, 2008 2:59 pm

I think that, and i'm sure everyone agrees, no bonuses should be given the 1st round. Why should bonuses be given on luck. I have lost too many games where the opposing player starts with an extra 2,3 or 4 extra armies and gains a quick lead. So i think bonuses should wait till the 2nd round. I am tired of praying for a "fair drop"

Thanks a bunch,
THE ARMY

This has been suggested and rejected, it would be almost impossible to code on certain maps, and would make the drops even less randomized

A shame, too, because it's a great idea.

i too think it is a great idea....why not code it in as an option, like fog-of-war,etc?

Unlucky and lucky drops are a part of World Domination.

Why would it be so hard to program? Just have the round variable check which round it is and bypass the bonus code if round is equal to 1.

right, they aren't saying change the drop randomization at all... just that if you have all of south america for example on game start, you don't get the +2.

that's actually not a bad idea. although, the chances of that occurring are so rare that it's almost not even worth the time/effort coding it...
