Post by Hawklord »

I have only had this game a week I have completed two game online, one victory one loss yet the Rankings ladder is showing 15 odd games and 9 wins!

Ranking-list only counts games against the AI.

Odd, but true.

That is odd

Assumming that every one who buys the game plays at least once against the AI that only a 1000+@copies of the game have been sold?

You're also assuming that everyone gets on the list.
(Not sure if that's true)

And assuming that everyone who buys the game also signs up for the forum. :)
(Which I know isn't true)

I suspect the number of copies is somewhat higher than the ranking-list may suggest.

There are also those who opt not to appear in the published ladder.

Run this by me again:

The rankings on the ladder here: http://www.slitherine.com/ladder/fog_pc are just for games against the AI?

Seriously?

There is a discussion about Online Ranking (and leveled battles) here: viewtopic.php?t=18031

Personally I'm all for online rankings. As long as there is an option for players not to participate.
They laid waste to our land ....

Well, I guess that explains why I'm ranked higher than the guy from work who routinely kicks my ass in multiplayer!
