"Battles"/"Games Played"/"Wins"

What do these statistics in the rankings mean? I heard that one of them referred to the number of times someone logged into a campaign battle/MP game. They certainly do not represent multiplayer victories (Maybe "wins" does)

They are really placeholders with some very basic stats in. They tell you the number of times you go into battle, the number of times you start the game, and the number of wins, all singleplayer. We have somewhat created an issue for ourselves in that the game being so scripted and easy to mod means it's proving quite tricky to build better stats that can't be spoofed by user scripts. But we are working on it!

Once the tournament system is online for BA then we will begin tracking MP wins etc through that.

Cheers

Any news or improvements about the online ranking system, pip...?

The plan is that the online rankings will happen only once we have the tournament system in place. We don't want MP stats to be required to play, nor that people have to play competitively. Tournaments make sure that any stats are valid and earned in a fair and equal way

.

No timeline I'm afraid. Need to get the Mac version and invite system squared away first - although the tournament system is pretty much done, already been through a few beta tourneys for FoG.

Cheers

Pip,

If it's easier .... trash the solo camp stats altogether ...

Anybody else care? ... maybe take a poll.

There aren't really any single player stats - kinda painted myself into a corner on that. The interesting stats would be stuff like Tigers killed, or Shermans lost - but that would all pretty much need to be scripted, and that could then be spoofed pretty simply using other scripts. I am working on a way around it, but it all gets pretty painful

Cheers
