Crawling for detailed game activity

[zlackoff]

Hey everyone,

I had a thought the other day about having a crawler log into your account and log the complete game activity, i.e. moves of each person, results for each attack etc. You could then replay it as if you were watching the whole game in realtime. Two questions about it:

1) Does this exist in any way shape or form? I can't imagine I'm the first to think of it but has anyone tried implementing? A pretty basic search on the forums didn't get me anything

2) Would this be legal? Obviously one wouldn't be getting any information they couldn't otherwise access, it'd be a matter of sitting on CC all day long. That said, it wouldn't surprise me if automation of this sort would be frowned upon. I don't know if the advantage gained would be so much to be so severe tho, idk, i guess that's why im asking.

Any insights would be appreciated

I would like to see the same thing. Obviously we have the game log, so you could read what happened in order. Also you can have a dice analyser, to give you average results of attacks, but none of that comes close to what you have in mind. I would love to have that, I hope someone makes it. Probably better if its done by the site, perhaps you could even watch games that you weren't in, or watch fog games without the fog, after the fact.



ps This probably goes in suggs and bugs, although no one will read it there.

True facts. If you would like to propose this to be a feature on the site, please make another thread in the SuggestionsForum! Thanks

everybody else seems to like it, but as it stands now there is no such posibility. after all you never get the result of your opponants dice, just for starters.
lacking that snapshot does give out the most info

Cool, I'll check out the suggestions bit cuz I think it would be really nice to have.

This is true, but you can still see the troop outcome of each roll, and I personally don't care for the rolls themselves, dunno if others do but it's not too functional of info.

Anyway, I'll post any updates on this idea and see how it does in the suggestions.
