Sharing Icon, to deside what can be shared, and what not!

Post by DraLUSAD »

as of now, in this Warzone, there is only two types of sharing Mapping & Research

With a new Icon, in the Multiplayer games, you can check which box does what, follow these options

Sharing Options
  • Is Team map sharing allowed = Yes
    Is Team Researching allowed = Yes
    "NEW!"
    If Team Researching is enabled, Can teams share each others Vehicle templates = No
    Is Team Sharing Oil Resource allowed = No
    Can Team Mates assist with allied buildings = No (Such as, help build other team mates buildings)
How does this suggestion sound?
Back and working on more maps than before.

I think no.
Why would you share your templates? Your ally can make them himself.
Oil resource sharing? Maybe could be useful...
Ability to disable ally structure help? Why?

I think, your no WZ moderator

You said - Why would you share your templates? Your ally can make them himself. "No, i mean is, each other can share, which means, if one player is in a rush, your ally can design new units, which means, you wont have to fiddle on with the design your self, brings about a new meaning to new players, who can command a force, just finds it hard to design a decent tank"

You said - Oil resource sharing? Maybe could be useful... "again, new players, or then again, would limit oil rush (I think) so you would have to share what you find, so there aint complaints when one team member has more oil wells than you"

You said - Ability to disable ally structure help? Why? "eh, i mean, of one team mate has, say, one truck on work, but its being slow, but your closer, you can assist him, and build his structure faster for him/her"

We already have that. Zarel made that patch some time ago.

Oil resource sharing, that one sounds good.

Sorry to say this, but I don't like the other ones. Sharing designs... Really, your ally can take a fast look to your tanks and copy. :P

Yeah, i see where your comming, BUT!, i really mean is, my GF plays with me, and she gets very confused on what tanks to make, she tends to ask me to design them for her, with the share script of the design, she wont need to worry then, cause i would have designed them from the front of my computer, rather than gettin a mouth full of confusion XD

I will say you just ONE thing:

My young sister is 6 years old, I sometimes play LAN games with her, and I only had to explain her once how to make tanks. After that, she kept experimenting for the best results. Even she's young, she can design tanks adapted to the needs of the battle...

Well... I have to admit that my sis is some special case too, she sometimes gives me problems for defeating her when playing some other strategy games like Conquest Frontier Wars or Off World Resource Base, (both real-time strategy games)

I usually play one or two battles all Sundays, but it's usually on LAN, with maybe some friends that come to my home, and what's sure, my sis and I. (I haven't played on net since I changed of router, it stinked, now that I have a new one, I should try again, I'm just too lazy for opening the ports on my new router.)

It's nice to hear about another Conquest player! ^^
