greenit -> PBEM Flaw? (10/20/2007 3:14:07 PM)
|
Whilst playing by email I notice that you can keep reloading the emailed game turn
as many times as you like. The obvious consequence of this feature is that you just keep reloading
the game until you score optimal battle results. This drastically alters the game play as:
1. A significant amount of randomness will be lost.
2. Tactics based upon a reasonable calculation of the battle odds will become redundant,
so little point in having unit attack, defense abilities etc.
3. This does not happen when playing the AI or any other games.
4. There is a danger that PBEM results / ladders will depend more on how many times you 'reroll' than on skill.
I cant really think of any advantages to this feature.
Could there not be an option to stop the repeated reloading of the same emailed game turn?
In the event of emergencies the opponent can just re-email it.
