at 2:23 PM, Thursday January 18, 2007 EST Having no-chat tables is an interesting idea, I think there is an idea or 10 like that already posted in the Ideas section, and you can vote on it, if you would like to do something towards this.

at 4:39 PM, Friday January 19, 2007 EST It should be an option to have no truce rooms. These have no chat room. To prevent pregame alliances, each player gets a name or number at the start of the game.Alliances often kill the game, when the two stongest ally. Then there is no fun for the others.

at 5:10 PM, Friday January 19, 2007 EST I have an Idea posted where you ally Age of Empires style, and you can't attack each other. Plus, there could be a probabilty penalty depending on the size of the allies compared with the rest of the field. Not being able to attack allies hurts sometimes if you have an island or need to have a territory taken so you can gert help.
This is only to limit unethical alliances. And I have no idea if this could even be tested. |

at 12:55 PM, Saturday January 20, 2007 EST Why is there so much anti-alliance talk in the forums and chat? If you want a boring kill-them-all game go play dice wars. The entire reason that kdice is better than dice wars is the human element, and that goes far beyond people making slightly more intelligent moves, it also includes interaction.
As far as PRE game alliances, yes they can be unfair, but there is no way to stop those anyway, so there's really no point in complaining. It's the unpredictability of the game that makes it worth playing more than three times. |

at 4:26 PM, Sunday January 21, 2007 EST As I see it, the only possible way to really limit alliances or truces is to remove the chat & randomize:
1. table names 2. player names 3. player colors If everyone sees 1, 2 & 3 differently... then it will be <i>really</i> hard, but not impossible, to arrange for truces & alliances through an outside chat. joby.d - There is no easy way. There are only ways to make it difficult |
