I bet the AI will be noticeably better when One Army Must Stand Guard is turned off, since it has always assumed 0 armies can be left on a territory. :P

No kidding! Haha.

It says that when attacking with all armies, you still have control of the territory even with 0 armies. Why in the above picture by Zephyrum the blue doesn't own the territory in the top right, and instead it became neutral?

Blue was eliminated since pink took out his commander. Hence all his territories became neutral.

Correct, thanks.

it doesnt let you send 2 attacks from the same territory to the same territory, so only a finite number of attacks possible per turn

Not true, if an attack results in you not taking a territory, another attack can be made. You can purposely hit a stack first order to weaken it, then predict the stack will move, kill the remainder of the stack and take the territory the stack was originally from, all in 1 turn. So yes if you constantly hit something with the commander, you can make another move. Since a commander with 0 armies cannot kill a fellow commander with 0 armies, it is actually possible to create a looping moveset if you always include another move incase you encounter the enemy commander.

tl;dr: MA + Commander = Broken.

In sr0%: an attacking commander who falls on a defending stack of ten or more armies, is being elliminated?

So many new possibilities... Broken, but interesting.

I don't think Fizzer expected us to take a couple hours to notice flaws in that system. XD

But I'm enjoying the update so far. :]

Edit1: @Glamorous: No, if a commander leads a fail attack, he just retreats.

Even if it's something like 100 armies vs a commander, he cannot die attacking, only defending. Or so I think. Need to test this out.

Edit2: More evidence there are more units to come:



Edit3: NEVERMIND WHAT I SAID!

You get this warning for attempting a suicide attack with the commander (when your attack is guaranteed to fail + the amount of losses passes the armies used plus the commander bonus of 7).



Post-test result: Commander dies, I'm eliminated. GG AI 1.

he dies when attacking a big enough stack

I decided to test custom scenarioing with the commander to find anything interesting. These are my notes:

You can add Commanders to slots, in the territory you want them, while making custom scenarios...



...But you cannot cheat the game by giving you a Commander without giving your enemies one.



~~~

I also tried giving Neutrals a commander. The game allows you to...



...But you can only assign it, not play it.



~~~

As you saw from above pictures, I also tried to add multiple commanders to the same slot.

But once again, it's a no go. :(

No loopholes this time around. Good job, Fizzer! But it sure as heck would be fun to play games with special rules without this binding.

I'm wondering what's so great about removing permanent membership. I was thinking of buying that after getting paid this month, but now the option is gone. I guess it will never happen.

And to the person celebrating the free trial, why?

"Trial automatically converts to a monthly membership after one month if not cancelled. Cancel at any time. Membership payments are non-refundable."
This means if you leave warlight and forget about the membership trial after a month, you start getting charged. horrible method of getting money if you ask me.

By removing lifetime membership, Fizzer is getting two to three times more money (minimum), because of having to pay yearly, not one-off.

^depends. Or like most people, they will realize membership does not really add much and they will not renew it. In that scenario, Fizzer will get half the membership money then he would have.

I still hold out hope we'll get something useful for being a member. I don't regret it, but it was completely ruined by the level system.

think the monthly membership cost is too high. makes sense to have it monthly, but would need to be lower to get more people actually using it.

sad there were no ladder updates:
- attack only on 3v3
- poll for template changes on realtime ladder
- another starting pick for 2v2

Commander icon looks like a gay anime model, not a military leader.

I'm all for supporting this site, but not in this way

The commander is a pilot. He ravages flight attendants in his off time.
