Yeah , clear rules on that for any league would be nice. Was thinking about some variations: - Player may not choose the same faction in both games (= if a player picks England, in 2nd game he cant pick England) - Players may not choose the same side (Soviet/Allies). (= picked soviet first game? mu...

I would If not that, I'd recommend at the very least making all masters players play as 'any'. This is something I can get down with. Me too. I think forcing players to stick to one faction limits strategy needlessly. Either let players pick their faction each time, or force them to play random. +1

Sleipnir: I don't understand what you mean by this situation. The main issue with the new stances as they are implemented in the playtest is with the Attack Anything stance. I want to be able to A-move into a base, destroy buildings, and not have my units chase un-necessarily and get themselves kil...

In the playtest you have the possibility to : [...] That kinda offers 4 options over 1, it definitively enhances the gameplay. This list is missing an important fifth case that everybody seems to be ignoring: - Destroy the base (defence stance plus commanding your units) Sleipnir: I don't understan...

Heres an epic match on sidestep of myself vs Smitty. This was played on the new playtest and showcases some of the new changes.

Additional suggestion regarding the guest point tiebreakers:

Any slots that determine promotion/relegation should be decided via tiebreaker match(s)

Another Idea: For those concerned about how quickly the divisions "sort themselves out" Don't fill the relegation slots with forfeited players. For example, take the S03 Masters Table: Positions 10-12 were filled with forfeited players leaving only one spot (Position 9) having to play a qualifier. I...

I second Smitty's feedback re: guest point tiebreaker and strikes. I would like to see tiebreaker matches instituted for any positions that finish in the prize-pool. First place perhaps a best of 3 or 5 and other positions a simple one-game playoff (assuming the players went 1-1 during the regular s...

Looks great. My only suggestion would be to replace the "score" column with "assets." Having a column for ore truck count would be nice as well.

Ok, I originally intended to stay out of this but it seems better if I step in now to clear the air before things get more hostile. Here is a timeline of events from my perspective: Both during and after the game there was indeed bad vibes in the chat coming from multiple parties (myself included). ...

If someone wanted to create some modded maps with the kill bounty removed, i would be happy to help playtest them to see what effect it had on the game.
