Stat Updating for next game

Post by XDemonX »

I was wondering since the game is almost over, how did everyone like the fact that it takes 24 hours for stats to up, personally i hate it. I think it takes out A LOT of strategy out of the game and makes it a bit more dull. There is less thinking to do when you go after a trader or you look to see hunters are moving.

Yes i know top hunters have lots of kills, but most kills are in pan. This game should be renamed to Scout Wars. I dunno im just curious to see how you guys feels about this. I think stats should go back to real time update. Maybe the only thing that should probably stay is turns since last death

It was a fantastic change, don't bring real-time stats back. We don't want people to be able to hit F5 and tell that traders are trading, hunters are hunting, or that people are moving at all.

That, and it's unrealistic having all the stats instantaneously. IE, I'm definitely not omniprescent, are you?

i loved the stats not updating. it was nice to see people actually have to work for a kill instead of watching people trade a 3x then looking up on mgu/smc and go kill. No skill in that at all, now people have to rely on their scouts info and their alliances info to get the kills.

The only problem I see is that people are now trading up more experience than past games on regular routes in non-planet galaxies. That is the only downside... traders getting it a little easier. But for vet hunters, it hasn't been a problem.
