Conquer Club

I would like to see a Spoils value chart on the game page. Since the language is difficult to describe, I am going to attempt to be very elementary in my description so that I am as clear as possible.

When players enter their games, each game board has a top to bottom chart showing the Spoils Values like this:
25
20
15
12
10
08
06
04

Above the chart are the words :
Spoils
Current
Value

As Spoils are awarded, the value of the spoils for the "Next Set of Spoils" is highlighted on the chart. At the beginning of the game the "04" is highlighted as it would be the "Next Set of Spoils." After the first player trades spoils, the "04" is no longer highlighted and immediately the "06" is highlighted so as to show that it is the "Next Set of Spoils."

The list above showing values from 25 down to 04 is an example. The maximum Spoils values should be shown. I imagine that spoils continue on to infiniti, but perhaps it would need to be capped on the display.

This would improve gameplay because players wouldn't need to look at the entire game log to see the value of the next set of spoils. This is especially beneficial when playing numerous games, so that players can determine quickly whether or not they want to trade in a set of spoils. Often times, in larger maps, I find myself needing to download the "entire game log" in order to see what the current value of spoils is.

When playing speed games, it is difficult to download the entire game log, especially if your opponent(s) are in the middle of their turns.

Additional benefits include the opportunity for less attentive players to be reminded of how beneficial it would be to wait or turn in their spoils. Thi sis especially important when playing in team games with players who may not be as attentive as their teammates would like him/her to be.

I sincerely hope this gets added and realize it would probably take a lot of programming and changes to the database, but could be quite helpful and a benefit fo gameplay.

My apologies if this was already recommended. I looked through many topics trying to find this topic and could not find it.

Just get BOB, it estimates spoils...

I love it that there is no official information on these apps. I've been playing for almost a year and I only hear about these apps in passing. When I search the forum for "clicky maps" I don't get the results I want.

Your response, though informative, doesn't appreciate my suggestion that this information be available to all players regardless of whether or not they found some cool app and downloaded it.

Try this:

Step 1. Go to the forum index (This one ---> index.php)

Step 2. Find the subforum in bold letters that says "Plugins and Addons" (It should be right underneath the even bigger heading "General Discussion")

Step 3. Look at the top for the stickied post labeled "User Guide to Plugins and Addons," which has all the information about CC-endorsed scripts. BOB and clickie maps should be found there.

Step 4. Return here, and ask again why it's so damn hard to find these things.
