YES, YES, YES. Very sorry, this is my mistake.

It should be 10 bonus for 100, and 5 bonus for 150.
I inverted it. Thank you for pointing this out. I will
fix it on the next update.

Players should definitely resign when they are
surrounded or otherwise think they are going to loose.
The *9 scoring basically encourages this. The bonus
as 100 and 150 encourages hanging in there for at
least that long.

Ok, so are there any points for simply winning? Let say someone has the lead for 60 turns, and then it goes back and forth for 40 turns, and then the other person bolts ahead and the first player concedes at turn 108. Score, 8 to 7 for the loser... Hmmm...

You probably meant turn 158. But yes the losing player would obtain more bonus points than the winning player. However, the bonus points are used only for tie breaks. I guess Last season Frozzy did have a bonus simply for winning, but I don't remember what it was if any? We could do that if no-one objects.

Frozzy did you have that last time? I think it was 10 for winning, yes?

It was 10 in 1x1 and 20 in 2x2

What's PBEM mod?

Originally posted by checkMate

PBEM is Play By EMail

mod refers to "modifications" to the game behavior
such as the medievel mod, or awesome AIPs etc.

The players voted strongly against use of any mods
in the Super League.

PBEM Mod is a "scenario" where each player gets 3 "super settlers". When the super settlers settle, you get 2 phalanx, one settler and a mounted archer.

Basically it speeds up the beginning of the game.

Download the attachment and read the readme..txt for more information on what PBEM Mode is.

It accelerates the starting part of a PBEM.
I strongly recommend it

Thanks Frozzy

I guess in a way, this bonus may not be as necessary as before since we already have the win/loss scoring seperately, but anyway I would like to here what you'll think?

I am leaning toward adding the above bonus scoring to the scoring rules.

After thinking a bit more, I don't think this is necessary.
Bonus points for winning would be redundant. The Bonus points are to break ties in the win/loss record. Teams that are tied will also get exactly the same number of game win bonuses so it would not serve to break a tie.

Even in that way checkmate I would recommend we keep the extra bonus points for fast wins.

If there is a draw at the top after all those points could play a critical point as winning fast is difficult in large maps and would prompt people to go for fast games, thus accelerate the whole SuperLeague progress.

If not people would probably seat back, wait for the ALP and spend perhaps a couple of years for a season.

I would even rise the bonus points earned by winning under turn 100 or 150 personally.

[checkMate]

Oh yes, I was only thinking of leaving out the "winning" bonus. The normal bonus for 100 and 150 turns is still there.

Indeed

Hehe... I'm just glad it's here

Also want to thank Solver for his complaining

[checkMate]

Bump -> I had spammed this to the bottom

[yoda]

What was decided on RESTARTS? Are they allowed? Does it have to be by agreement of all players? What if someone believes their position is unplayable?

Thanks,
