Currently when opponent found it asks for a ready check but only to go to game sooner if both players are ready. If you don't ready check the game goes on anyway. Then begins the country pick phase. If you don't pick anything here the game randomly picks you the country and the game starts.

Why it's such a harsh system right now is because the wait times are occasionally really long I've been queuing to a game over 30 minutes several times and I don't think it's really reasonable to expect people to sit tightly and watch the wait timer for half an hour or so without losing focus on anything other.

Now the punishment varies. If you get a highly ranked opponent obviously you lose less points but since there is no mmr system going on and you might get let say a beginner this is more severe. From 1 occasion I've lost about 20 points give or take a few where as you only get 1 or 4 points from a win.

If you want to argue that people should be punished for being afk on the que I can understand it but I don't see that it's necessary in a game where there is usually only 20 to 30 active games at weekends and around 6-12 on week.

For those who just play for fun this won't be an issue obviously but if you wanna have fun and climb the ladder this becomes an issue.

Since there are at least 2 points when the system basically prompts for afk why does it consist on going on to the game. I can't imagine winning a player who isn't playing against you really enjoyable even while you do get free points.]]>

It would be really nice if there was a way to quit without saving. It would also be convenient if there were a way to save without quitting.

Both could be solved if there were separate "quit", and "save" buttons.]]>

2-I would like the Editor to change the boundaries and even create new countries. Also that there was a way to change City Cams. That would give more freedom and, consequently, more people playing.

4-I wish I could choose the district or province in which the disease begins, and there may also be migrations in the country itself, it would be much more realistic. And that a car model be added to symbolize land migration in the country.

Countries don't shut down their ports to everybody. They do it selectively.

Suggestion: have countries shut their ports selectively.

Might make Greenland et al. easier and/or more realistic.]]>

I want to proposed a new arrangement for the Scenario Creator UI on PC. The current UI is stretched out in way that is hard to look at and wastes screen space.

Simple as that.

Just something that I noticed while messing around in the scenario creator, but there is a set limit to the population density, amount of medical funding, importance, etc.

Could you possibly make it so we're able to bypass the set limits? You'd still have to include what they normally are, though.

Just a suggestion! I hope you think about it. Big Grin

1. For the human side, how about having money as their resource. Make the human players part of a 'world organization', like WHO, with finite monetary resources which they can allocate to different parts of the world where they think the virus might be hitting.

2. Make a minigame wherein the human player has to match DNA samples of various plagues and such to samples submitted by doctors from around the world. Could also just automate this, but by making it a game, it would increase player participation as well as give a sense of accomplishment if they are able to identify it early. Perhaps make it to where more money allocated to the country would give less 'false' submissions.

3. Give the human players control over being able to restrict travel and such, but give them severe penalties for doing so, such as lowered income for the cure, increased chance of social unrest, etc., so that they won't do so until they have to.
I enjoy the game immensely and am looking forward to seeing what the multiplayer aspect will be like. These are just suggestions and hopefully they engender some ideas. Thanks!]]>

I always play scenarios that I’ve never played before in “casual”.
I played [Science Denial] in “casual” mode and actually got a gold star!
[Ultimate Board Games] was not at all as easy. I did get a silver star on “casual”; but nothing on “normal”.
I always choose the United States as the starting country because, if you can win using it as the starting point, it usually provides a baseline that I can use in determining how hard or how easy other countries will be.
It’s ironic that I did amazingly well on “Normal”! I can’t even imagine successful getting world wide coverage, when I only covered the US and Greenland, and portions of several other countries (most coverage was Norway and Sweden).
Below I’ve listed what happened:

Achievement:
“Infecting tabletops”
“Party hard”
“Catan you believe it”
“Spelling out success”
Normal
741 days
245347049 games
