Ah okay.

So the bonus points for winning would be very much the exception rather than the rule whilst the " consolation" bonus points for losing would be much more routine.

I understand now. I definitely like this system.

Thanks Andreas

Inspired by the recent discussions about the "optimal" scoring system providing the "best" incentives, a change to how points are allocated will be applied on all challenges made from now on (currently active games will still keep the old scoring mechanism, with 1p for a win and...

Hi I would like to join East. Can the same list be used by more than one player? If so I will choose accordingly. Thanks Keiron Hi Kieron If you check out the link at the top of the thread it states everyone will get their first choice of armies in the first season so you should be good to go. :)

With much joy the city fathers of Soluntum announce their election of the mighty general Hasdrubal Speedy to the august position of Dictator of Soluntum. Now the people can retire to their beds safe in the knowledge that soon the great general will return peace to these troubled lands. Tyrant Diony...

Blimey its going to be a proper bunfight in the south

Looking at the nice mix of players now signing up, please count me in too.

I have all Ancient dlcs and FoG2 Medieval with one DLC.

Cheers

Great to see all the defenders putting up such a fight.....definitely no cakewalk.

I like Pete's suggestion, maybe amend it to: Winner of match gets 10 points. Loser of match gets 1 point per 10% inflicted. To give some examples . . . A 40-10 win would be scored 10-1 A 42-17 win would be scored 10-1 A 56-30 win would be scored 10-3 A 60-46 win would be scored 10-4 Draws are score...

Definitely count me in too.

Cheers Pantherboy...it has indeed been some time :D I am deciding which of the proposed Leagues to jump into at the minute so I am just assessing what characteristics each one brings. Being a big fan of Kronenblatts Campaigns and friendly Leagues I tend to play for fun and enjoy meeting online the d...

I agree with tyronec re balance in small pools. It was only in the last season that I entered the DL Themed event for this reason, and on entering there were evidently two players who stood head and shoulders above myself and another guy which basically meant the contest was over before it started i...

+1 for the incremental scoring system. As one of the "less stellar" players if I am getting crushed it makes for a much more engaging game if I can grab a consolation point or two. In losing situations it would also give me as a player an incentive not to just run away and try and run the ...

No worries......it did confuse me a bit wondering if I had a doppleganger posting in my name..........though why anyone would want their thoughts to be identified with me is beyond comprehension :D All I was getting at was where you said you didn't want mechanics you had developed being adopted as a...

Pete, what on earth would you gain ( or lose) from seeing your scoring system adopted in the new League ? Nothing. What on earth are you talking about? :wink: Surely if anything it would be a nice legacy for everything you accomplished with the iterations of the FoGDL .... ? It looks like those who...

Ah okay. I see the difference.

I actually have had some very worthwhile and exciting 2-2 draws which seem to deserve half the points of a win for both sides but maybe that is just me.

Reading the discussions about the pros and cons of different scoring systems , I was just wondering what the problem was with the system used in the latest season of the DL ? I appreciate Pete has said he doesn't want a copy and paste successor to the DL (though it is hardly a copyright issue :D ) b...

Sorry........ I misunderstood the point you were making.

I am easily confused

The assumption you are making though is that the Roman player would know which army he was facing when choosing the map. If as I understand it the opposing player knows the map he is free to pick any of the permitted Roman opposing armies, which makes sense as on an open steppe an enemy army that wa...

An interesting concept. The problem with allowing the home army to choose the terrain base is defining what are historically reasonable options in any given match up. Some lists might be able to claim a whole range of terrain, where others might only have one or two. How would this be decided? My u...
