Yes and no. We only have two voice types now, for ally and enemy respectively. However the reason for that is there's tons more samples in both of them, including some troop cadences we're particularly proud of. "I don't know what's goin on..." "...Coz I work for Rubicon!"
Is there a time limit on submitting moves? Is there a max # of games? Hero Academy and Outwitters both ran into some problems on launch in this area (i.e., loads of dead games filling up the ques of active folks, choking their ability to start more games).
Yes, I've been following that with some horror tbh. Our limit is also a week right now. However we have an update planned with some additional content and we'll also be adding a selector for the time limit. Probably something like "week", "day", "hour". The only limit we have to number of games is that you can't start a new one if you have several open games already downloaded and ready to play. So effectively none.
By several how many do you mean? I think the duration selector is a fantastic idea, like 1 hour or even 30mins, because some times I'm craving for a good full game turn after turn like you would in a real life chess game. Don't get me wrong I love the idea of async and taking your turn whenever you want but sometimes its good to take your turn more often when you have some spare time.
It means I can't remember off hand, lol. I think it's five. But this limit is just for already open games with a playable turn waiting on your device. If you play promptly and clean out pending games you're already playing first, it's effectively unlimited how many games you can be in at once. We just don't want players starting millions of games and then not finishing them. Basically we've pushed this "jamming up" back on to the guys who don't play promptly. We also have a friends list (and blocked list) that you can make use of to find players you like playing against and avoiding the jerks I'm reading about. Of course when you start a game you can go "public" or pick one of those friends for a private game.
Real good ideas. I would add 3 days too, but you probably would already. It sounds like you have most of the important good stuff already. Just to be greedy, any plans for 2 v 2 or replays? Outwitters may have screwed up their Leagues quite badly, but they nailed shareable replays and 2 v 2.
The idea that you can't start new games while you have turns to take in others is brilliant. Roll on next week says I!
I just want to let you know Rubicon.... that i really love your GLWG! one of my faves... i also look forward to your GBWG.... wish you all the best guys...
We might be adding some league stuff in future, that's a really nice idea that never occurred to us. No 2v2 though, the game's never worked that way. I'll give this some thought but will require a lot of changes so won't be soon. I'm surprised people are happy to wait so long to get a turn tbh, which was why we never bothered. EDIT: Meant to add, replays is a work of genius. Definitely thinking of something along similar lines at some point.
