Topic: multiplayer tournament 2020

I'd suggest to replace the following part of the rules

Playing which tribe? Choice is free. If both players want to see what the other picks first, blue player has to pick first

by something like

Which team is allowed to host the game? If there is no agreement, the team which is in the announced pairing on the right side hosts.

Playing which tribe? Which teammate takes which position? Choice is free.
If both teams want to see what the other picks first, there is the following order:

1. The team with the right to host decides its positions first.
2. The other team has to do the tribe choices then first.

(given that left or right is determined by a fifty-fifty random chance)

Is that already in the newest Amazon build of hessenfarmer? I tried that one out and it's dissatisfying, because the training algorithm bugs are still in there:

• kicking out a half trained soldier results in that soldier going into the Labyrinth/Dungeon again immediately
• increasing capacity of those buildings still does nothing, it takes a while until the soldiers are moving and so on

Yeah, admittedly it still has some quirks. I think all the other improvements outweigh them but it seems you really care about this one aspect. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

I think that the bugs outweigh the advantages. However, it could be possible that several versions are allowed, we'd just need to know which version is preferred if there is no agreement...

Furthermore:

• Only English available, no other languages
• Version number not working (Revdetect broken, not fixable with the usual fix)

These shouldn't happen if it was built correctly...

That's weird. I'll check it again

it seems a new version has come out since i last checked that should be made official? i haven't followed development

basically master branch is in winterfreeze soon. (that means al features for b21 have been already incorporated.) All of the changes in the master branch have gone into the amazon dev branch as well as some graphics from Nordfriese went in there. So that was why I recommended to use the latest dev branch of amazons as it is more the less b21 with amazons and it has more amazon graphics in then 6762

Thanks for including some of my suggestions.

well, i think we should test the winterfreeze version. traditionally tournaments are held with such version to also root out bugs.

But what if the bugs are already rooted out and highly capable to disturb the tournament significantly, which could be easily avoided by taking the older version?

As I said, a possibility would be to allow several versions, but only if the rule is that amazons6762 is the preferred version (if two teams cannot agree on a version)

That bug is a known issue with the suggested teams box that surfaces only in debug builds, not in release builds. Likely that amz6762 already has it as well. Generally I would recommend to play tournaments with release builds only because players can use debug builds to get some unfair advantages
