Re: Extra Foggy Games

This idea does raise the bugbear of secret diplomacy.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to play a game where nobody could even talk to anyone else, except as an academic exercise in self-mortification. And I'm not suggesting that CQ is or should be an attempt to recreate real political and ...

Re: overextending

Different maps and different game types require different tactics: there is no "one size fits all." It's a matter of delicate judgement, assessing when to switch from slow and steady expansion to the sudden killer land-grab that tips the game in your favour. In my case, I usually play TOO ...

Re: Multiple game creation/ Game Generator

Seems quite a while since this suggestion received any attention...

I'm strongly in favour of it. I like to create four or five games at a time, and doing them one-by-one is a pain.

Re: Game Finder Favourites

I don't run Firefox: call me an old fuddy-duddy. But that does sound like the kind of thing I'm after.

Game Finder Favourites

I've just returned to CC after a sabbatical, and would like to suggest a tool or feature that I'd find very useful. If it already exists, I'm sure someone will let me know in pretty short order...

I'd like some way of storing Favourite selections on the Game Finder page. There are some maps that I ...

Re: Map files moved & support ticket fix

My small map is fine. It's the large version that's screwed. The numbers show, but the map itself never draws.

Re: Consolidate map list [Done]

Awful change. I like to play on half a dozen "favourite" maps, and having to repeatedly scroll down through the list and pick them out is tiresome in the extreme. This has definitely made things more awkward.

Okay... All sorted now, and running well.

Thank you for your guidance. Some of us, despite being electrical engineers, are still computer dunces and so idiot notes are always appreciated.

Now back to conquering the world.

I'd love to have this tool, but all I get is Picture It trying and failing to open a file. I installed the .NET runtime environment successfully, but still the same result.

Any guidance for a computer dunce?

My eyesight is perfect, but I still have trouble distinguishing some of the numbers and colours. More contrast is required - perhaps giving the numbers a high-contrast background, maybe just white.

Why should it be necessary to download programs or do screenshots in order to play the game? The ...
