90 seconds vote, 90 seconds plan, 20 seconds at the end of the round, 20 seconds mapchange. Even if it's a long mapchange, you're talking about 4 minutes tops.
ok, then its 4 minutes. still too long - if you play 10 maps you have 40mins of waiting time already. thats about the time a full map should take (imo 40-60minutes). the game isnt very convenient for ppl that dont have much time anyway, i think if you want more players you shouldnt actually add to that. a few guys i know like the concept of empires, but they all say, "its no game i could play for 1-2h because everything takes so long ..."
how about anyone who opts in can make their plan, whoever is voted in has their plan put on the minimap, and maybe have colour coded lines that go with squads, so that alpha squad can only see like a part of the plan and same for the other squads.
Yes, excuse me whilst I join your team every time you try and command, and cover your minimap in penises for 90 seconds.
if you get voted in you can put your penis anywhere on the minimap. we will see penises no matter what anyway. as cool as this feature might be in theory, its quite predictable ...
I'll put in a button that you can press to end the tactical discussion and if both comms have pressed it the rest of the time gets skipped
No, the point was, someone made the suggestion that anyone who has opted in can do it. And that's a bad idea.
No I think the guy that suggested that wanted people to be able to prepare their own tactics and then display them when they're elected, which might be a nice idea for scrims and such but for pub games it's not super crucial at the moment
Oh, well that's not terrible, but you still need that tactical time. Just let anyone draw on the minimap before the commander is chosen, to save time. And it stays clientside unless they get voted in, which would allow you to shave like 30 seconds off the vote time.
It's an interesting idea, but I'm first going to try and get it out of the door as it is now. Also, I'd recommend reducing comm voting time anyway
why not allow everyone to see the different possible commanders plans? Click on a commander and you can see there plan on the mini-map. That way we don't have to choose the "dick" commander.
http://mollyrocket.com/861 I'd just like to point out that Beerdude wasted all this time on making something that doesn't make sense.
Fact: MOOtant spends 90% (on average) of his day searching for things to spite me with instead of actual productive work
