  1. Also, the fog of war does in some sense add an aspect of luck. You can't see your enemys units, so you can easily make a less lucky move by putting a smaller unit right if front of a strong one for example.

    I have the same problem got about 10 game where have been waiting between 1 to 3 days
    One question tho when your partner in 2 vs 2 wont make a move for 7 days does that count as a lose for you?

    I think it will mate. Now I know this it's probably best to only play with someone on your friends list of something......I'm down to 19 active games now :)

    Yes, you can find yourself surprised in front of sniper or something but I wouldn't call that bad LUCK. You have runners to clear that fog before you make move with more valuable units. Runners are much more important unit then people think.. Like pawns in chess.

    I don't need luck factor in this type of game and thats what I don't like in HA.
    If I feel lucky, I just trow a few spinns in King of Cashing or ToF! ;)

    Still is chess, probably cause of its history (tho I'm not too familiar with the history of Go)

    What about limiting the total games you can play at the same time? 9 seems like a good number, so you cannot start a new game until you finish one of those 9 games first

    The limit is 20 right now. I think limiting the amount of time opponents are given to make a move should be limited more instead. Add a rematch button please.

    I second the rematch button, it would make things way easier, and of course give your opponent the option to accept or decline

    This game is awesome (minus some bugs). But people just don't take their turn fast enough. It's hard to get into a game when you wait 3 days inbetween each move. I'm still trying to get into a league but right now. I'm 3 and 1 with 4 other league games going on which the people I'm playing haven't gone on 2 or 3 days. So frusterating. I understand people have life's and can't play all day. But just take your turn a couple times here and there though out the day. It takes what a minute to make a move? End rant/ Add me if you'll play often. ArienMC

    Enough people have replied in the begining of this thread that it's an asynchronous game and therefore ment to be played at slow pace.
    Sure.
    But right now, the total lake of any rules create major flaws:
    _can't win a game if your oppenement decides so.
    _can't even quit a dead game as you'll get a "this is not your turn" message.

    You don't quit in the middle of a two hours chess game with your best mate, or throw the board away after 3h of Risk with your friends, do you?

    We need a minimum turn by day rule. Something smooth, sure, but something.
    And definitely a rematch button!

    I don't understand. What's wrong with just using your GC username?

    Maybe something like in one game If u don't make a move in 36 hours u get a warning, than if U don't make a move 24 hours after that u lose. Only one warning per game, but the other player could grant a longer time (like 3 days) of he chooses so...
     
  18. I guess part of the problem is actually the game being both new and free and multiplayer only. None of this is bad, but it likely means that we are seeing now is probably a lot of people just trying the game out, take a couple of turns and then finding out the game is not for them, thus leaving their games unfinished for the rest of us. Hopefully this will improve over the time.

    I am still waiting for my league games to finish. I have won 2 but 3 games is really taking their time.
