If two players could not agree on the version, what would happen? It might have some advantages if build20 would be the only version for the tournament. Replays don't get quickly useless and nobody who wants to watch has to change versions. Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked Top Quote |

So far, it never happened that two people could not agree on a version. As for compatibility, iirc replays were always compatible until somewhere around build 19, when backwards compatibility was broken to update some code. soo, whether we use core or trunk, should not matter as far as compatibility goes, and won't matter until some specific pieces of code are touched again. Correct me if I'm wrong.
i tried the search function, got no results. Must have misclicked something. Top Quote |

There is an attempt to have savegame compatibility. Replay compatibility goes away more easily. I think that WorldSavior has a point. Top Quote |

Me too - let's stick with Build 20 for this one. We already have some nice new features in current trunk, but for the replays, it would be better to stick to Build 20, since we're still pretty close to it development-wise. Busy indexing nil values Top Quote |

Well, actually replay compatibility gets lost rather often. For example the replay of the match Mars vs Einstein became already incompatible during the tournament. And now with b20 I cannot watch anymore trunk replays from february. Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked Top Quote |

modifying, how? Why do you consider the map as unfair?
Which places? I made a little test and placed one artefact close to the blue position and another one close to the red. There haven't been many positions where they make sense. The result is a very weird kind of match and I think that it would make more sense to play autocrat instead. Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked Top Quote |

Hi I have a question : when we play a game on a map of 3 or more players, do we remove them, or do we play with AI ? Top Quote |

Hello : ) The host has to close those player slots then, at least it was like this during the last tournaments. So placing some AIs somewhere will probably not be allowed. Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked Top Quote |

OK, thanks WorldSavior I asked myself the question while playing "the thaw"... just to discover the map. Top Quote |
