I feel like only allowing the leader to cancel dibs is restrictive. The leader might not be online at all times to moderate and even if he is, there'll be some favoritism problem that could break some clans apart
I would agree that having the leader/co accepting dibs works better though even if it doesn't solve the favoritism part.
Ah, I understand what you are saying here. AowulfSnow makes the same point you have. Perhaps it is a bit over the top to have JUST the Leader canceling "dibs" on a war base. It may work in the favor of the entire clan, not to mention the Leader, if he or she had a few extra hands to help the cause, along with the reason you suggested as well. So do you think that the leader AND Co-leader/s is/are the only person/s who can ENABLE the War Base Calling Feature when pressing the search for war button?Quote:

Co-leaders would then have the ability to make adjustments during the war within the rule set selected by the leader. Putting the responsibility to stay online at all times on the leader is unrealistic and that is what co-leaders are for.Quote:

But for the favoritism piece, I think your spot on. Although it wouldn't hurt to have a few extra eyes and hands to remove unwanted dibs.
We now have pictures! Thanks justinhu! :D
Since it has no bearing on the making of the match itself I assumed it would be possible for the leader to switch between them at any point during the war. It wouldn't matter much in every war, but in some of the close ones the dynamic nature of the battlefield may dictate that strategy changes as things unfold. The workload for setting up that strategy falls on the leaders, as it should.Quote:

Do not get rid of any of your thread idea additions, though. The big picture I am seeing is what you suggested is a great addition off of my more basic feature. Who knows if this function will be added, and then yours will be a supplemental add on? I will think through a bit more to see for any ways these setting you suggested can fit into this current idea.Quote:

It could be more flexible but that requires more coding which takes more time. In the end I would be very happy with the simpler implementation. It could always be phased in with more functions later.
I am very glad you see the same thing I do. Likewise, I would love to see your additional features be in this game as well. I think they are very strategy-orientated, and really ingenious. However, lets keep this going one step at a time, shall we? :cool:Quote:
