The Rankings?

Hello Fellow Generals!

I was browsing the Rankings Page today and noticed that my Wins were listed at 5 and losses at 1. I believe these should be opposite! I have only won 2 games at the most out of 6 or 7 played. Does anyone else have a descrepancy like this or am I missing something?

Oh, and this is an enjoyable break from Tabletop!

These rankings are for single player games. I had the same question a while back.

If you are concerned about rankings, one thing you don't want to do is play solo as Human vs. Human. No matter which side wins, it will always report to the rankings as a loss. I racked up 5 losses that way before I caught on. To keep this from happening, you can disable ranking on your profile. Then if you want to increase your ranking wins, re-enable ranking on your profile and play solo against the AI. Kind of silly but that's the way it works.

I like playing solo against myself because I find it more challenging than playing against the AI. And since the program turns the board around for each sides game turn it gives just enough difference of perspective to make it more challenging. But of course multiplayer is the absolute best way to play this game.

Given the relative ease of winning against the AI, it all seems a bit pointless. I truer reflection of ability, surely , is just to register MP wins, or better, the difference between wins and losses, though that might be a bit too much too take for some :),
