Everyone who is complaining or unhappy - read the thread, because I think every "problem" has been addressed.

You can fix your clock by updating BOB. You can hide the stats by updating BOB. If you don't use BOB and you don't care about the stats you don't need to look at them (this works now that the cards are in the left most column). Seems like this should no longer be adversely affecting anyone who doesn't want it, and it will be helpful to many people. So kudos!

this feature only narrows the gap between strategic players who calculate their every move, to those who are sloppy, and do not, but have someone to do it for them...

It would be nice if under Due you also got territory bonus included like if you held the whole of Africa on World 2.1 under Due the 18 bonus troops appear. but without it still a great update! :mrgreen:

Counting does not give you a strategic advantage. What you do with the number does. If you truly believe it gives you a strategic advantage, be thankful you can save time counting now. ;)

Looking at a Classic Shapes game I have going, Game 5982067, the number under Due does include all the troops you will get when your turn starts. BOB breaks it out into amounts for R (regions or territories) , Z (zones or continents) and RB (I forget what that means), while the site just totals them up.

PLEASE TURN THE NEW STAT BAR OFF! I really dislike it and it takes the fun out of the game. People need to take the time to figure what is going on in a game. Not get spoon fed the stats. PLEASE REMOVE.

I don't mean to seem bitter, but, if it doesn't get removed.... I doubt I will renew my subscription. I play this game because of the strategy, I really enjoy that aspect of this game. A large part of that is now gone.

I love this feature! Thanks! FYI, high ranking players do like this too (saves me so much time from analyzing and counting!) and not every players has access to BOB.

Read 2 posts back. Counting != strategy.

I agree. This is why that bar should not be available to anyone. It takes the strategy "OUT" of this game. :cry:

I like it except for the fact that everyone can see total number of territories in fog games.

Good changes Lack...

Not sure what the HooHaa is all about...

If you really don't like it - you could make a GM script that hides the data for you? Would be the matter of 5 minutes I expect.

I think we really need to have a stat bar that tells us the odds of beating an adjacent territory. That sounds cool, lets add this feature as well. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Yes indeed. To really help all these "strategists" save some more time, maybe we can see what our next 5 dice rolls (attack & defense) will be so that we can decide whether to attack or just deploy.

I'm not a big fan of this. It has screwed up my watched games feature, which I loved. All of this is already available via BOB, and BOB is more accurate as well. It screws up the screen depending on which computer I'm on as well. I'd like to see it removed, but I'd settle for it being optional.

You've always been able to count territories. It still doesn't show troops.

Well said...plus, most strategy is involved in where you attack and how aggressively you make your moves. Much more to strategy than counting up armies (although that is a small part).

You don't see the # of troops, but yes, it would be nice if regions were blocked out, too.
