Battle reports: ??

[Krill]

Paddy, in a couple of dozen turns, that won't be a bad estimate...

of course, they be mostly be BOH slaves...and our two liberated slaves...

It takes no more time to write a battle note that it does the computer to anamiate the battle.

Example of a battle report taken from Napeolonic Conquest:

Attacking Wick
Grand Battery fires at 4/4 RedCoat. Miss
Grand Battery fires at 4/4 RedCoat. Now 2/4
Grand Battery fires at 3/3 RedCoat. Now 1/3
5/5 Imperial Calvary attacking 2/4 RedCoat. Imperaial Calvary retreats at 1/5. Red Coat 1/4.
4/4 Imperial Calvary attacking 1/3 RedCoat. Dead RedCoat. Imperial Calvary 3/4.
4/4 Imperial Calvary attacking 1/4 RedCoat. Dead Redcoat. IC promoted. 2/5.
Wick captured.

having report for one unit and for 100 units needs different amount of time

and having the computer animate the move and the same time to write the report means double time, isn't it?

as I said - it was just a note, not pointing this game or anything related to this game - just a principal position

[Kloreep]

I guess I can see how battle reports would be a signifigant slowdown for "teams" that, like in 1889's case, now are just one player for the civ. Otherwise, however, I'm frankly surprised you guys weren't already planning to write this stuff down for posting in your own forum. And it doesn't take that long to edit out the moves unrelated to the battle report, does it?

[Modo44]

It gets significantly faster if you drop the HP numbers for each unit. Just getting the total attacked+killed+lost unit count is usually information enough (and easy to count!).

modo with Terry Pratchet quote as signature? Do you want to join the team of Ankh-Morpork?

[joncnunn]

I thought Modo was already in a team.

[ormuzd]

no, he is not
but maybe he is not interested. If he was I'm almost sure he could be a team leader

[McMeadows]

I would like to remind all nations to keep the unit type in the unit's name. At the moment a certain team is having Simon and Foxtrot camping out and we're curious who's who.

I believe you are referring to units in the Desolation Row army.

I am surprised at your concern however. It is clear from the unit stats what the units actually are. At least we haven't renamed a Swordsman "Warrior", or worse....renamed a Settler "Worker" - I've seen that done before

I'm probably mistaken, but I don't recall ever seeing the word "Archer" in front of Kurt Cobain's name....unless you've recently changed it.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

As far as im concerned its bad practice to leave out the units designation from the name, and no excuses can be accepted !!!

WE ALSO HAVE ONE OF YOUR UNITS IN VIEW WHICH WE CAN SEE IS A WARRIOR BUT IT SAYS NOTHING OF THAT IN ITS NAME.

Change it please, and any others you have that do not have the correct unit designation in their names.

haha, could be a bit late for your team getting more players... as they could be refugees soon enough

on that, have you and Krill started discussions yet with other teams on where you will go when your civ has been taken down

and what does that have to do with anything here Lord Krill?

and with 15 members, we have plenty of observers....

[Krill]

If you remember, BOH was the team that effectively vetoed the idea of observers. If one team can veto that, then any team has the right to veto any idea it does not like...
