Hi, I just have a few ideas to suggest.
First idea I have is due to the recent change in UI when hosting a game. The players joining the game no longer know who the host of the game is since the host does not have to be in the first player slot anymore. I think it would be nice if there was some sort of indicator beside the host name (such as a star or H) to indicate that they are the host. I also heard a good idea of including the host name under the game name very similar to how the game version is now shown.
A second suggestion i have is to make it possible to drag oil Derrick's just as you can for walls and other common defenses. I am not exactly sure about the difficulty level in doing this but i think it would really be nice for common maps like 8c-NTW2 where there is two long strips of oil wells. It would really save on all the repetitive clicking but I understand that this is a part of the game.
My third suggestion is to make it possible to limit the number of players that can join a game. This would be nice if you only want two vs two on an 8 player map because due to some problems, I believe it is not currently possible to host 8 players so it would be nice to allow the host to limit the number of players that can join. To prevent crashes or having to kick someone since there are too many people in the game.
Thank you for reading my suggestions and please give me your feedback.

Yes, I'm planning on adding the word "HOST" beneath the host name.Daltx wrote:First idea I have is due to the recent change in UI when hosting a game.

Not sure about having the name of the host in the game list, though. Not sure it's possible without a protocol change.
I don't really see the point in making it any easier to play horrible maps like that. :/Daltx wrote:A second suggestion i have is to make it possible to drag oil Derrick's just as you can for walls and other common defenses.

You could add a password after enough people join. I think that works...Daltx wrote:My third suggestion is to make it possible to limit the number of players that can join a game.

Re: Few Ideas
Zarel I was not able to add password after I had started hosting the option becomes locked out all I am able to do is type a password in but not actually turn it on. Not sure if this really changes situation though about adding in a player limit.Zarel wrote:You could add a password after enough people join.
