Dear Bytro, Players and staff,
Alliance versus Alliance Challenge
Challeneg Game creation settings
Please can you consider putting a game speed option x2,x4,x6,x8 etc in the Game creation setting for when you challenge another alliance to a Match.
You can choose Map, Team size, Human peace period, Ai peace period.
We need a Game speed option. Presently we have a lot of tournments and from my experience playing Tournaments, organising players across alliances, discussing games with other alliance leaders and for the last few years managing players and their tiem schedules, real life responsibilities and the reality of commitment, the conclusion from dealing with al of this is that presently the AWC games are too demanding. We are required to play up to 5 consequetive days, with non stop activity, the best teams have full 24/7 commitment.Players go without sleep for 3 days. It is ridiculous situation. No player is happy with this. Maybe the winning team at the end of the tournment which is usually AE anyways.
Bytro
Please include the option to select the game speed in Alliance Challenges. Maybe you can can have a tournament Challenge Selection. This has been a long time coming and going forward, it is unrealistic that we are expected to support CoW and provide private tournaments and not be given this essential option.
There is now no longer any skill required in AvA. It is who has the most 'active team' and the most players in that active team that will commit 96 hours of almost continous play. It has become a test of endurance.
With the speed option we can have 1 tournament Match in one evening start to finish. Then we have happy families and happy wives and happy children and happy employers. Most of all happy alliance officers and staff who do not have to subject team members to this abuse of players time.
Thank you

What if both alliances agreed to only play during certain times? Like let's say both alliances agreed to only play during 9-11 AM EST or something, and until both parties agreed to resume the game, the game itself would stop. No moving armies, units, doing research, constructing, etc. But I do agree with your idea too, but it might get a little stressful ngl...
Either of those would require Bytro to move, and we all know moving on requests of the player base isn't their strong suit. Why not self-impose this on the players? For example, a maximum of 12 one-hour time slots of being online per day? I think a mod with share map could enforce that?
Haven't played an alliance game in 3 years. If the players can enforce it without their teammates or enemies breaking the rules, then go for it Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Yeah itβs true that it is hard to get an alliance game going. Just finally got my first one goin now lol
