Updates 10/10/13 - Polymorphic, Parachutes, Medals and Clans

[betiko]

Very nice! I m gonna try a few polymorphic on beta then!
About the bot medal, i see i have only 2 kills, does it mean we will end up with 200 bots?

[bigWham]

I have played whambot a lot so far and this last update seems to have screwed the bot up.I am not trying to be funny.There is a error with the bot.

whamBot was dazed for a moment there! i think he tried a poly game with sass and lost it. should be back in form now, in as much as he has form.

small display bug there for a bit. beating whammy 200 times will get you the bronze, then onto sass... then onto... TBA!

Also if you kill someone you have to refresh before it is your turn again.. Assuming you kill next in line in a poly game.

and also for subsequent rounds too.

poly games yes, thanks bigwham this is my single favourite update ever on cc


thanks again

[OliverFA]

I doubt I will play polymorphic or Parachutes because they are not the kind of game I like, but I am happy that those new settings are there for the people who enjoy them

[greenoaks]

I don't understand how "Polymorphic" would indicate a single person team game. But good updates.

polymorphous means having more than 1 adult form, like ants or bees.

in polymorphic games we are all one, but we have 2/3/4 different forms (colours).

[DaveH]

These updates are great news (even greenoak's suggestion for paratroop reinforcements has at last been taken up ) but I have found a slight problem in that it now interprets 4-player doubles games on AoR2 (non-polymorphic) as having more than 6 players so won't create them. I have reported this in the bug report section, though I guess it is not a major problem.

[iAmCaffeine]

Yet to try out Parachutes, but Polymorphic is fucking awesome. I love the wham.

[benga]

can i rate my morph?

[betiko]

polymorphic is the greatest new game mode implementation. love it cause i love to play with myself!

a few bugs though:

-beta maps new unique kills don't update (yes, games created and ended today)
-for bots, only whambot gives new kills; sassbot kills are not being counted
-i have started just one polymorph manual deploy, and there is a bug, my opponent managed to deploy his troops but i cannot even if it's my turn, there is no start button. I don't know if there is this problem on every ploymorph manual.

in my humble opinion poly its one of the worst game options ive seen released.Hope we dont regret it in the future.
Great for farming, great for not having anymore speed teamgames and great for a large decrease of normal teamgames. Its not only negative sides but i think those are bigger than the positive
(the idea of not relying on a teammate on a teamgame..what?!)

Great work on the clan page.
Allways fun to have some new medals(beta medal and BR are very well deserved)
Parachute is interesting, nothing more than that.

I like new stuff, but i dont like to be stuffed with every other idea.

In general, thanks admin for your efforts, even if i disagree with some of them

i am loving the polymorph because i love 1v1 speed games but there is almost no strategy. at least now when i play 1v1 speed games vs a lower ranked opponent it's not all about dice.

and yeah bruce, it was meant to be a joke, not something I wrote by mistake

[Armandolas]

im pretty sure i will love it. It will be great,i will not rely on a "bad" teammate, i will farm even better, I will win much more because i have more experience in TEAM games than probably half of the 11k players on CC, so i guess it will be cool for my score and own pleasure....But im talking about a big picture here. ..not my own amusement or fun...i believe this will not be benefitial for the overall CC developement.
Anyway, im not a profet neither gives me fun to believe in this. I hope im absolutely wrong.

As others have mentioned, I think this setting is there to improve 1v1 games where there may be lost due to start or bad dice, and instead increase the strategic aspect in those encounters.
I don't think it should be deemed to replace team games, it's just another added option which has its own strategic context

To not make the beta map medal retro is a shame.

data needed for this is not stored anywhere. Much like the random map medal.

The stats and the future will tell us the consequences of this.
You must not forget that it will not affect YOUR teamgames, because YOU belong to a small niche of players who does not need to find partners to play. You mostly play it with your clan mates or a small group of individuals "you trust".So do i, and so does a minority of the whole CC players.
Someone wrote this "Now i dont need to find partners to play"...thats exactly what i thought...it will be great for me..but it will be great for CC?

Polymorphic Games allow 1 player to take multiple armies into battle.

So, basically secret diplomacy with yourself?

betiko, for bronze you need 200 whambot kills, not sassbot.

however your sassbot kills will count towards your silver once you get bronze.

Awarded to members that defeat Bot opponents X times. Bronze=200 Level 1 Bots, Silver=200 Bots from each of Levels 1 & 2, Gold=200 Bots from each of Level 1, 2 & 3, Platinum=200 Bots from each of Levels 1,2,3 & 4.

Essentially,
Bronze = 200 whambots
Silver = 200 sassbots
Gold = 200 (something)bots
Platinum = 200 (something else)bots

[chuck D]

bug: sometimes, you can't attack yourself on poly.. sometimes you can... grrrr, but love the update

edit: seems like just a clickies/bob problem...

Correct on the Bots. The Beta Medal counts should be displaying properly now. For the poly issue, please drop a note in Bugs with game nos etc so we make sure these get looked at. Manual worked in general in testing, but perhaps there are some issues.

FYI - issue of unable to start turn can be fixed be refreshing your browser. I just played a 2 slot poly game and eliminated one opponent, had to refresh browser everytime i was starting my second consecutive turn.
