Just wondering what people's experiences are with casual game hosts that defy the trust of the community by abusing issues in the game. That issue is that people who join after turn zero (as opposed to hosts who always join at turn zero) cannot recruit units until the next turn, so then most people as they join in turn 1 cannot recruit units.

It's typical practice for hosts to respect by handicapping themselves, ie not recruiting any units. I had an issue with a game recently where I pointed out to a host that they did this and instead of admitting to it, they pretended as though they'd never played the game before and that if they could recruit surely others could as well; any casual player who'd ever played a game they did not host themselves would know that's a complete lie. Well I go to a new game today, and turns out they blocked me over this lol

Anyway, what kind of community standards can we develop over hosts like this who don't abide by the practice of not recruiting at turn zero? To start with I will block the user ____, until they commit to not abusing the game like this. I know that this issue has been brought up before, so has there been any commitment from the developers to allow casual games players who join a game at turn 1 to recruit units?

Is that something you have planned? Lol someday means someday. When I say I'm planning to do something that means its on my to-do list and won't be forgotten. If you want a specific date, I have no idea when I'll actually get to it. atWar is not the only thing I have to deal with, you know Lemme know when you start on that project if you need programmers. I have experience with several game engines and 5-6(11 if you count things like HTML) languages. I might be somewhat qualified. dave already said he's not accepting more coders buddy Aight. Little sad, but cool. Gonna go try not to die in my casual games. quick game is the superior my bro No time.... unfortunately. I do like the ability to plot, though. ---- Toast makes me very sad.

Nothing is preserved. My strategy is not preserved. So, the only choice I have to preserve the game settings is by taking the first turn. As far as I know, the game does not allow me to create any units during that first turn so I can't create anything until turn 2. Conclusion: the only thing any host can do to keep the game the way the host wants it to be is to take the first turn. Your claim that the host is being "dishonest" by taking the first turn is baloney. Have you ever tried to host a game???? Tell me how I can start a game and preserve everything, including the country I chose and the strategy I chose WITHOUT taking the first turn. Učitavanje... Učitavanje...

That is what he is talking about, only you can make those units on your first turn with the other players. Your strat is preserved but that is another problem, you have to remember which you picked or by the unit info... I think it always says imp. Učitavanje... Učitavanje...
