Abolish click able maps

Postby hulmey on Fri Jan 02, 2009 6:03 am

Farming is now a no no. Lets also abolish click able maps. People use it to have a better advantage in the freestyle game. It gives people a huge advantage, so why is it still allowed?

Since I dont play freestyle games, because my connection aint fast enough, we should ban freestyle games.

Sound fair to you?

Canned Response....

What about the people, including myself, that play almost exclusively sequential and use CM because drop down menus are clunky? Screw them for wanting a simpler, more intuitive interface?

Not Quite as Canned Response....

What if CC took some measures to ensure that people had better knowledge of the existence of CM? A mass email to all existing members and an additional line about plug-ins in the generic "Welcome to Conquer Club" email for new members?

Why don't we ban people from playing more than once on each map too? You know, because knowing a map better than others is an advantage. And while we're at it, let's find someway to throttle everyone's internet connection, so they can't use the drop-downs too quickly.

My personal suggestion -

Take out the "auto advance" feature when holding ALT. Thus the max attack would generally but 1 conquer per second. This would hardly bother sequential users, instead you'd just have to click the country one more time.

Remove "end fortifications" and "end turn" hotkeys (hitting e).

Remove auto attack as right click - force the player to manually attack or select the territory and click "auto attack," aka the button. This would even further the slowing of CM, reducing people to about 2 countries every 3 seconds. Significantly slower than the 5 territories in 3 seconds (or the rare 5 countries in 2, I've done it a few times).

This idea is almost better then abolishing the classic map...

This sounds reasonable but if I knew an update like this was coming I would back up my current version any time I saw the update and avoid breaking my good version till the site itself broke it.

Make CC inoperable with the current script unless updated^

Clickable maps are like guns in America. The people who have them wanna keep 'em, the people who don't have them are terrified of the people that do and want them removed.

Remember kiddies, if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns! :D

When you join a game you know what your going to play and its settings. Thats your choice. You cant posibly know that the other person has CM running. Part of SPEED freestyle is waiting till the last 20 seconds to take your go. People with click able maps have a HUGE advantage, that wins them games, time and time again! They can take alot mor countries in 20 seconds, than someone that doesnt have the program.

This is unfair to people that dont know about its existence or are unable to download it (for whatever reason).
