Mirror Custom Challenge

Post by Hendricus »

I would like it when setting up a custom battle that a mirror match can be fixed to it.
So that you play both games against the same opponent.
At the moment if I create a mirror match, they are not a couple and can be accepted by different opponents.
Even greater would it be as the results of both mirror games are calculated as one final score.
Making unbalanced confrontations a struggle of doing it better as your opponent.
We gamers like winning the draw.

Yes, they make for really enjoyable games when you are using aggregate scores to decide who has done a bit better than their opponent. I think it also means that a wider range of armies are used and that some of the more obscure historical match-ups (e.g. Romans v Illyrians or Samnites) get an airing too.
