How many turns before they are auto-kicked?

[QoH]

Hi all.

How many turns does my opponent have to miss before he is kicked out? Currently, I' playing a lot of 1v1s against demonfork, and in some of them, he has missed 4 turns, and hasn't been kicked out... Is this normal?

Thanks

Yes, this is normal.
from the instructions:

General Gameplay Notes
Missing a turn
.

.
You are automatically kicked out from the game if you miss 3 consecutive turns.

He needs to miss 3 consecutive turns, so 3 in a row. he can miss 2, take a turn and then miss 2 more, nearly indefinatly

Isn't that creating an unfair advantage in some large maps such as Waterloo? He can miss 2, then take 1, having an deploy of 20... then take a turn, and then miss 2 having another large deploy...

[SirSebstar]

he can if you don't do anything about it...
remember, he gets his drop based on the amount of terits he has, so you have 1 or 2 turns to bring his terits down. if after 2 missed turns he still has more terits then you, you fail.
also deferred troops are placed AFTER the attack so no, for a bombarding map like waterloo, missing turns is stupid, unless the opposing player does not play the map right....

in addition, intentionally missing turns for an strategic advantage is abuse.

What if dice suck, and you can't do anything about it?

[SirSebstar]

I do not think the dice suck because he is missing turns. There looks to be no advantage to it, but you lacking dice does not improve your situation. I'd say you can voice your dissatisfaction, but atm there is nothing you can do. i think..

OK, thanks for info. I think there should be a more strict amount of turns taken, because the deferred troop count can hurt a player if they hit some bad dice.

I believe the thought about deffered troops is that at least even if you cannot use them for offense(since they deploy after your offensive turn) you at least have a chance, and reason to come back. otherwise its sometimes smarter to just let it go..
