Adjusting Cross-Map Achievement Medal Requirements

by **pamoa** on Mon Oct 12, 2009 11:59 am

as the number of maps at disposition increased
shouldn't the requirements for Cross-Map Achievement Medal be adjusted
from the actual Bronze=20, Silver=40, Gold=60
to Bronze=40%, Silver=60%, Gold=80%

EDIT

as this medal was thought to encourage people to try new maps
each time we get 25 new maps online
we get a new cross-map achievement medal for 20 maps "completed" (defeating 5 unique opponents on each 20 maps)
so we always get a medal for completing 80% of the available maps

new "levels" could be materialised on the medal itself by adding small stars

We can't go by percentages because maps are always coming out.

Right, without fixed values it's a never ending ladder---which is nice for those who can keep up, but most likely discouraging if you are just starting when there are 130+ maps.

I'd rather see an "Onyx" level for all medals above Gold, than adjusting individual medal requirements.

What about Platinum? I like it better than Onyx.

Man, it is difficult enough trying to get 20 maps for bronze. Many of them play very differently. For example, there are the conquest ones (feudal, pelop wars), the rail ones (USA, Europe) the Metro ones (Sydney, Vancouver), the USA series (Great Lakes, Southwest) and no one category has 20. It requires a lot of practice and persistence. I like the new medals idea.

Something may come of this before the year is out.

I fully agree that there should be set levels, but it would be nice to see a few medals that ARE harder to keep up, that do require "re-earning". These would not replace the others. Maybe they should even have a different name?

After a while, there just is nothing much left to achieve.
