Welcome, Alan/Blagrot! I've added you to the spreadsheet with Indian (Hindu North) 1050-1300 AD as starting army, so you're good to go. Although most other players already involved in games, so you have to bide your time.

Please note everyone that I've paused imatson2527 but kept him in the table, marked as red and thus unavailable for challenges due to family issues. I hope that his family will be fine and that he's back soon. Meanwhile, my thoughts and energy are with him and his family.

That's okay, I'll practice my stampeding in the meantime

Inspired by the recent discussions about the "optimal" scoring system providing the "best" incentives, a change to how points are allocated will be applied on all challenges made from now on (currently active games will still keep the old scoring mechanism, with 1p for a win and 0p otherwise):

• Players will now be allocated points as follows:
  • for winning player: 4p plus 2p if suffering 0-4% casualties and plus 1p if suffering 5-9% casualties.
  • for drawing or losing player: 0p if inflicting 0-14% casualties, 1p if inflicting 15-29% casualties, 2p if inflicting 30-44% casualties, 3p if inflicting 45+% casualties.

These incremental point allocations will hopefully create a nerve also if a game is about to be lost and drawn, with players seeking to inflict as much casualties as possible to bring home as many points as possible.

Needless to say, reporting the result will now also require the actual casualties (with inflicted casualties specified in same order as the player), e.g.:

• 7 kronenblatt Navarrese 900-1049 AD lost against 5 TomoeGozen Scots 851-1051 AD 15-45.

• 7 kronenblatt Navarrese 900-1049 AD won against 5 TomoeGozen Scots 851-1051 AD 45-15.

• 7 kronenblatt Navarrese 900-1049 AD drew with 5 TomoeGozen Scots 851-1051 AD 30-45.

I think it would be more rational to adjust the winner's bonus relative to what the loser can earn.
Thus, 3-0 for less than 15%, 2-1 for 15-29%, 1-2 for 30-44% and 0-3 for 45+.

For example:

40-0 would result in a 7-0 score.
45-20 would result in a 6-1 score.
60-50 would result in a 4-3 score.
45-45 would result in a 3-3 score.

4. kronenblatt German (Imperial) 1200-1319 AD lost against 6. Lennard Norwegian 1155-1319 AD 4 - 47.

So under the new scoring rules, this game would have resulted in a 6-0 score in favour of Lennard. (Proof that it may actually happen...)
