Hi, i just got the message in game that i've accepted to many challenges and will have to wait till tomorrow before i can play again.
I'm currently playing 5 games and completed one earlier.
Why is there a limit?

It's to stop people from spamming challenges or cleaning out every challenge. It is limiting, but best to prevent abuse.

Cheers

You just need to issue your own challenge......

Can we issue unlimited challenges ourselves? Or is it 10 total, acceptance and issuance combined?

There is a limit to both accepting and issuing as either are open to abuse. The limits can be tweaked but we think we need some way to stop someone accepting all the challenges with no intention of playing them and spoiling everyone's fun and others from issuing challenges they do not plan to complete.

What about when someone doesn't want to continue their games? I have 2 currently with deadtorius but he is having difficulties with his PC and won't continue to play until later patches he posted. So I'm reduced from 20 to 18 possible games. Since it is his bound I can't cancel the game. In the future you may have someone who gets sick of playing and just stops thus paralyzing some of the game slots for other players. It would be nice if we could report this and then you guys could delete the games involved after sending an email to both parties to verify that the game won't continue.

After a few days (I forget how many) you can claim the game as a win if your opponet has not moved. I think it may be a week. I'll check it out and let you know.

This is a feature we will add in the next patch as, actually, there's no way to do it ingame

Cheers for the speedy reply. I've got to say that this game beats DBA Online hands down.

Yes - it beats DBA online by a mile!

I definitely agree. I have just let my DBA Online subscription lapse. Will have to spend more time on FOG

It would be nice to have the extensive army list from DBA though. Please.

I'd like to request a small increase in the amount of challenges it possible to make and accept.
I'm getting the wait till tomorrow screen to often.

We'll look in to this but there wont be anything in the immediate future. Ideally we'd have a limit based on your past performance. E.g. if you complete a certain number of games the number of challeges you can accept goes up. If you fail to complete games the number goes down. It's a fair bit of work but something I'd like to get in at some point.

How many games do you have going at the moment so we can check it is working as intedned?

I was playing 16 online games when i ran out of challenge acceptances/creation.
All the games were current and being played. I think the oldest game awaiting a response was 3-4 days.
Its ok today since some of the games have finished.

Wow - 16 games on the go. That is impressive!

If others are finding this restrictive let us know. We'd like more feedback before we decide on the best solution to fix it.

I couple of days ago I had 42 games finished. Today it says 38. Do completed games get deleted from the list after a certain time?

Yes to keep the database manageable complated games die after 2 weeks I think.

Darn, no way to keep track of win loss record. Oh - well.

That will be coming in the form of a ladder/rankings - it's on the to do list. But sadly so are many other cool things!
