Seriously no ladder?
Games been out 4 years?

You've made money I bet it's 50% of gross income.

And you have encouraged, allowed, fostered Order of Battle?

No doubt it appears to be a fine game but what? By pushing it your killing PzC. It's two competing systems.

You thinking "well we make a new ogre vs elves game" and pimp OOB and ride the "new" dlc money machine?

Lol.

There is nothing wrong with PzC. Nobody is interested in the many itenerations of PzC.
Expand it and value it.

Ideas missed:
1. Slithering sponsored multiplayer competitions
2. Multiplayer rankings and valuation of participants and sponsorship of community

Ideas missed:
1. Rule set can always be amended
2. PzC is base of Chess

Multiplayer and community is all encompassing

Imagine a 100 member tournament, single elimination
If the scenarios are designed to allow core, plus prestige the possibilities are quite numerous

My biggest beef is failed realization, you've improved a 1995 game.

I'm here because I have interest, because I paid and frankly it's fun and chess but what's it going to take 100 years till someone makes a ladder, puts some sponsorship behind it and the players who have skill get recognition.

Four years after the game came out and I'm playing multiplayer:
It works, A+.

10 balanced scenarios?

I'm playing 8 right now.

One if not both starts with 3 objectives of which you must hold 3 for victory.
Turtle much?
DV takes all objectives but why bother?

Some scenarios have you starting at disadvantage while opponent has initially 3 objectives which is all he needs for victory.

Not enough scenarios allow you to improvise or change the obvious course of action.
Seriously you couldn't play the 10 offered balanced scenarios more than once and not be bored?

Why?

Where is the Multiplayer Forum?

Who are the Multiplayer Kings of PzC.

Where is the Multiplayer ongoing Campaigns. The "best of the best"?

I would love something setup and sponsored by Slitherine.
What I have done is the following:

I am not the best multiplayer, but I am pretty good and really enjoy helping people understand the dynamics of the game and how to play such as in here:

I have made several Multiplayer maps.

Posted quite a few.
My MP maps come from a different perspective. Anyone who plays them love it.

They are not tank for tank or Prestige for Prestige maps like the developers offer.

You need strategy to win.

Oh please teach me how to download them, I just cannot seem to do it, and I really really want to have these nice little gifts. :oops:

A ladder and multiplayer tournaments would add a whole new level of replay-ability to this fun game. But it does require resources and time and dedication to get it off ground, can the community do something??? Can't always expect the developers to do these things. Will check out gooses post regards ideas.

If you like big multiplayer games I made a map called 1941 that I think is fairly balanced but it takes ages to play, let me know I can put up a game with pass etc.

Definitely check out the custom mods and maps, scenarios etc as there are many cool maps on offer that can give you some new options to play.
