MP Format - Mirror Game Option

Post by Old_Warrior »

Could a Mirror Game option be added to the MP format? Currently I think players have to set up multiple challenges (and password protect each of them).

It would be nice to have a MP challenge that is Mirror as that way the players would play both sides with the best score in both games deciding the overall winner (at least that is how I score it - this system is my own and not asking that it to be included - I take both games, take the attacker's score in each and the player that did better as the attacker is the overall winner).

Field of Glory has this and it is a nice feature.

Paired games do seem to be popular in FoG, and could definitely be something we add for BA.

Cheers

Old_warrior - interesting idea. By "score", are you referring to # flags captured, or # units killed?

You know it all depends on the victory conditions. If the dialog says you have to control more VP locations then I go with the player that did the best. If he took 5 out of 7 as the attacker in game #1 but the other player only took 4 out of 7 in Game #2 then the guy that took 5 won the overall match. On the other hand if it is a mix of both losses and objectives then get your calculator out! ;)

But mainly looking to get the feature added to the MP format. Not a huge rush as it is a low priority item.
