Feature proposal - single player online ladder

Post by Gomoto »

(low priority, but highly motivational)

simple offline solution:

printable / saveable army composition and prestige report at end of each mission

sophisticated online solution:

online highscore list army composition and prestige ( seperate for each patch ;-) )

Purpose and motivation to play (score keeping, achievement tracking, things of this nature) is something we are very strongly considering, especially if enough people are looking for it. If you have more and specific examples, you are welcome to share them!

Table of results:

1 with just those games the logged in player has played
1 with all games played

Player 1 - Player 2 - Scenario - Result (e.g. Player 2, DV) - Date finished

Sort by any column.

With these details (and others?) players can get some stats on other players, themselves and scenarios. For example, if Player 2 tends to win scenario XXX 75% of the time perhaps its balance can be changed. Or, I am playing 'Player XXX' who has won 90% of his games - I know he's likely to be good. etc etc.

Ladder scoring ca be very complex. e.g. should a player who is highly ranked on a ladder lose points if he is beaten by a lowly ranked player? Would a flat scoring system be used (50 points for a DV and 20 for a V, for example)? Is that unfair for players who can't play often even though they are very good players?

There are other issues so I would be interested to hear what others think about this topic.

I agree a scoring system would be a very nice addition. I suggest keeping it fairly simple so casual players can relate to it.

Number of turns, Number of lost units, experience gained, prestige remaining, Number of tanks, infantry, ... , heroes, level, number of saves (=0 what else ;-)), ...

and much more :D

(This would also be a good feedback for campaign tweaking)
