I really think we need to change a little about this... to allow for the occasionally mishap that probability guarantees with today's technology! Why because I was literally 10 seconds from winning a game when I got a power cut, and by the time everything was back up... I lost the battle and it's not like I even had to do much, the first computer ever could have won it for me.

So I'm asking if it's possible to...
1) Turn on AI after the 4-wait thing....
2) Allow more waits! I mean with only for it means that anything short of a fly hitting your face results in an instant loss of battle, you probably won't be able to go to the toilet with 4 waits....
3) GRADUALLY kill off the users troops after the required amount off waits, note gradually... so in similar situations,
the outcome is fairer!
They're just suggestions, I still have to deal with my -2 luck and all that but I hope they're considered! |

I sympathize with your case, similar situations have happened to me more than once.
I am a highly active player and so, every time I loose my internet connection, I may end up forfeiting a game.
However, I would estimate that per every time this legitimate AFK due to connection/power problems or perhaps just IRL emergency happens, there is a dozen of cases when the AFK just didn't want to fight or forgot they entered themselves into a fight.
In such cases, it would be unfair to others to make them wait while your troops slowly melt away.
Consider a case when 4 players enter a 2 on 2 combat and 1 of them is absent. It would normally take 5 turns and about 10 minutes for that player to drop and let the others finish the game and be free. With a "melting away" system which destroys 25% of the troops, it may take 20-30 turns and 40-60 minutes before the AFK player is ousted. By the time it is over, 1 or 2 more players may have gone AFK, simply because they didn't have a whole hour to wait until the battle is moving. Certainly the partner of the AFK person, will not feel like sticking around for a whole hour waiting to loose. |

If you want to play like that,then drink new years ale 10 times.You can just play a game like auto-battle even if a powercut happens,the game just waits for 3 or four turns,but plays most turns. |

With all of these suggestions there's a level of selfishness that is mind boggling. If you have a poor connection, either don't do PvP or accept you may drop out and lose sometimes.
Why should 1 or 3 or even 5 other people have to wait for you. Are you so great, so amazing, that your time is 5 times more important than everyone elses? |
-1 I agree with barbarian-fishy.
2) Allow more waits! I mean with only for it means that anything short of a fly hitting your face results in an instant loss of battle, you probably won't be able to go to the toilet with 4 waits....
There are more than enough waits. Sometimes I feel that there should be less. |

let AI control afk player troops
many times my patners go afk i realy dont like it |
| get a UPS |
| @13 : how can i get ups for my partner????? |
If it wasn't clear... by 'melting away' I meant that it would be fast melting...
So, combined with the fact that there are enemies, this will even odds a lot!
for Barbarian-Fishy:
To turn the question around, why should one or two players suffer for no apparent reason?
Like Lord-of-wizard said, "how can i get ups for my partner?????"
Think about it, where the harm in AI controlling your troops? |

| To all those who posted -1, please say why.. I see no reason why this is a bad idea... |

It's a horrible idea. If my teammate loses connection, I'd pray for a quick defeat instead of waiting for 30 minutes or so for them to get back. Your suggestion have a terrible griefing potential. |
for Grusharaburas:
Quick defeat? Well thats actually quite easy.. just play ultra fast and don't use any tactics... or use simple anti-tactics, such as charge within enemy archer range and wait all your turns. To be honest, I don't think people like quick defeats, they do like on the other hand, at least some exp and fsp! |

You can't do that if your stupid idea is implemented. How can you play ultra fast if you have to wait every time a disconnected player's troops gets their turn? |
