Re: [glob2-devel] Re: Glob2s lack of recovery strategy

[Leo Wandersleb]

sorry but all that sounds like bad loosers. games take very 
long and i take it for a design point how long games take. 
for my taste games are long enough.

recovery: yesterday we played without fruits, appleboy lost 
early as he got attacked simultaniesly by genix and me. 
that's bad luck on a 3 player map. genix almost had me. i 
lost all but some turrets and my inns while he had lev. 3 
barracks and the first ground attacking doves (wich he 
didn't target).  it was hard but if it was easier, games 
would just last forever. i recovered as i had a food 
advantage. the map was not biased against genix who had the 
other _two_ corners on triangle. it's just that i cleared 
wood from the start to enlarge my wheat-fields while i 
discovered the wheat in his corners to have disappeared what 
must be due to bad strategy.

directly build level 2/3 is a feature-bug i submitted last 
week and i think it is essential as missing the second the 
barracks reach lev. 1 means waiting for the warrior that 
went in to come out.

giveing a catch-up bonus will lead to endless games. i am 
strongly opposed to that. any other interface improvement 
(waypoints, build higher levels, ...) will help the winner 
as well.
