Accepting Challenges

Post by Morbio »

I just accepted an 800 point challenge (the army being used wasn't displayed) and I didn't read the small print which says "Accepter can use an army from Storm of Arrows" (I've subsequently read this on another challenge).

I went to choose my army and there are none listed :shock:

Then I notice the "Select A Book" selection field, prefilled with Storm of Arrows, but with scroll bars. I try to scroll and it won't let me.

Clearly, the poster only wants a battle in Storm of Arrows (or the game will only let armies from the same book fight).

I now can't fight this battle and I have no way to cancel it :(

I've PM'd Livipajo to explain and apologise :cry:

May I make the following suggestions:
1- If only armies from certain books can fight them then don't display the challenge to those that don't have those books. I figure that you must know what books I have from numerous files on my PC.
2- Change the small print to "Accepter may only use an army from Storm of Arrows" (assuming you don't do point 1)
3- Provide a mechanism to undo the acceptance and put the challenge back for anyone to accept (assuming you don't do point 1)

I expect you may get a lot of these (or maybe I'm especially dumb.... quite possibly).

Is there anyway you can undo the challenge, or worst case - remove it, because it won't be played :(

Thanks.

Are you saying you do not have SoA installed? If so it should not let you accept the challenge. If it did, then it is a bug.

I have issued two challenges having installed storm of arrows, but my opponent cannot see my challenges and he cannot see mine

This is an oversight on our part and we'll fix it as soon as possible.
