  Balancing III

  Would be nice to get AA exerting ZOC on air units.  But anyway.

  Can we leave the test server running for... well, testing?  :)  IMO, unless it is particularly costly, you should always have a test server running for latest developments which are rolled out on a frequent basis.  Live server can be reserved for relatively well-tested code that is shown to be stable.

  New Forum on Weewar.com

  Perhaps you should actually prevent new posts on this forum?

  AI Interface

  My old code is still in place, though I don't know if it's still functional.  If you're asking whether anyone is hammering your servers with AI stuff, it wouldn't be from me.  :)

  Deprecation of Weewar Tangler forum?

  So, is this Tangler weewar forum no longer to be used, or... ?

  new Unit Ideas

  jeye: I'm rarely one to complain about complexity in games, but I think your ideas might need to be relegated to an advanced mode of some sort.

  Why is the replay function gone?

  Yeehaw.  :)

  Possible scoring variation?

  I was just thinking about unbalanced maps, and a thought struck me (ouch).  What if win, loss and draw counts were kept for every map on a per-colour basis.  i.e. blue wins this % of of the time on Map X, red wins that % of the time, etc.  Besides the obvious benefit to players of making such information public, you could adjust scoring by some factor based on these numbers.  The idea would be that, for a given Unbalanced Map, wherein yellow is rather disadvantaged, and seems to win only 20% of the time, you could award (and subtract), say, 2.2 times the normal point gain/loss if yellow were to eliminate someone.  This way, really good players that want to strut their stuff can deliberately try to play a weak position on a map, and show off their masterful weewar fu.

  That's the general idea.  I'm thinking actual implementation will need some careful thought to eliminate vectors for abuse, and to handle things like surrenders, kicks, etc.

  Replaying last turn not working

  Unfortunately, this is [very] old news.  The devs are not prioritizing fixing the replays.  It must be too much work, and/or difficult to debug?

  WeeMap

  Love that you used Ruby for it.  :)  But since you're being shameless and promoting: Ramaze, another [better?] Ruby web framework.
