Battle reports: ??

[Paddy]

Return to Sender

you are funny chap indeed

now you want to veto an idea that you agreed to

well thanks for ungrading our Soothsayer's Savages (horseman 5/5) to Elite... all very kind of you to send your Postal Service (war chariot 3/3) to hurt us so...

Hope you have lots more of them war chariots heading our way
Bloody good training for when we need to go to war

Paddy, I am only pointing out that some people here demand that everything happen as they want.

the reason that I disagree with having to edit in the names, (I take it that you thought that was "vetoing (sp?)" the battle reports? And I was not around when Devastator was killed, so you should talk to Ormuzd about that...or maybe you have already?), is that the stats are easily readable when you click on the stack. The exceptions are, I believe, some troop transports, and workers/settlers/ and exploers/scouts. These should, ofcourse, be named in such a way that it is easily understandable what is what, with the addendum of a legend etc.

Unit Naming Details

my error

wrong thread

moved to the Naming thread

[ormuzd]

the damn RNG... I will keep my comments about it for some more days (until we are completely destroyed or concede) but it gets more and more awful

[Paddy]

ahh but what of your battle reports...

will we ever know who took out Devastator the Bold?

[ormuzd]

I'll edit the battle report and I'll post the new ones after this turn which I'll play it after 12 hours

[Paddy]

ok, thanks

and 12 hours before ya can play is it? ahh well so much for the hope of seeing the save before the sun came up

well back down to the basement bars for me then

[ormuzd]

[Paddy]

[ormuzd]

I do not believe it is necessary under the agreed rules to post battle reports in a public forum, nor do I believe it is appropriate.

I therefore protest at McMeadows posting the details of the battle that took place last turn.

bahh hummm bugg

you actually agreed to them, ya know ya did...

now when all can enjoy a bit of entertainment, at your victory, ya want to Hide

maybe ya team needs a new desolator

or a good public realations team

[Aqualung71]

Ah, trust the old Barbarian to weigh in with criticism

[Krill]

Aqua, why should Euphorica not be allowed to release details about the game like this?

[Aqualung71]

Well firstly, battle reports are between the two civs concerned. They are not a matter that teams on the other side of the world have an automatic right to know about. Furthermore, the fact that two teams are at war is not something that should be advertised. The game mechanics allow you to see which teams are at war through the diplomatic screen, but only if you have an Embassy with at least one of the warring parties.

Therefore, public broadcast of which teams are at war goes directly against the mechanics available for deriving such information via the game engine. It goes without saying therefore, that battle results should also not be broadcast.

[ormuzd]

keeping close to the allowed ingame rules will not allow us tech agreements for example. I'm sure there ar numerous other treaties and deeds which can be done and they are not presented in the game as options.

And about the war - you can't believe that it will stay hidden for too long. At least one team will contact other team to ask them soemthing - to help with troops or to not attack, or to not support the enemy, etc. It can't stay hidden for too long either.
