so i think in order to play a pbem i need to set timer like 25-26 hours right? or maybe just no timer at all bcz i can play many turns withing those 48 hrs.
I'm in 4 currently, and I wouldn't mind doing more. Any settings are fine with me too.
team or ffa or duel
Eskild was interested by more games, I guess he'd be ok to play a 1vs1 against you, or maybe open a new 4 players game.
What I find most important is that abusive play will be removed. Like Necro's Stiffen Limbs which allows for extreme fast hero training. Aslong as that's possible it kills the game for me.
I'm still playing, but everything I hear or see that kind of play I lose interest a bit.
I play online games since 1998 and never have I cheated as I don't see the fun in that. Abusing the game mechanics isn't cheating so I'm not judging people who do so, but it certainly kills the pleasure in a game for me personally.
So I'm definately pro-mod to remove abusive plays.Â
Then again best would be if the patch Triumph brings will solve these problems, but I'm certainly not convinced it will. The problem is that balance for PBEM isn't the same as balance for multiplayer.

I hear a lot of complaints about necromancers, for example, but if I lose a match against a necromancer opponent I see many different things that I could have improved in my game. If I was playing perfectly and still consistently losing, then I might have some valid insight to the problem.
Considering that PBEM and live multiplayer will have separate balance issues, how many people from the PBEM pool realistically have enough experience to comment on game balance? I've seen a lot of necromancer in my limited time here, and would definitely like to see some more variety, but that's the extent of the input I can really give. I've never actually ever tried playing necromancer myself, so commenting on balance would just be silly.
@all: ehall just opened a 2 vs 2 game: http://www.the-battlefield.co...
Map: Land Large
Strong defenders
Underground enabled
As far as I understood, the game is up on the PBEM server and not password protected, so if 3 players join here on the BF, it may mean that all will not be able to join on the PBEM server (players from outside may have already joined). Maybe ehall is interested by opening another game specifically for people from the BF.
I didn't wanted to publish it, but it basically said that people are ignorant, undeserving etc.
I'm an engineer and what is worst - i'm also a quality assurance enthusiastic maniac. And i don't like random people changing balances ):
There are those butterflies that can cause massive tornadoes and tidal waves - just by amm flipping their wings or something... Didn't Triumph said they'll do a balance patch soon anyway?
ehall, I saw you hosted 2 games on the PBEM server. What about opening them here? You would get them full very quickly and you would have higher quality players than random people on the PBEM server. EDIT: by the way, I am pretty disappointed that only 7 people voted on the polls about the balance of the game! Necromancers, Tigrans, Dreadnought and Partisan specialization most unbalanced after Zaskow's balance mod changes (or lack of changes!)? Give your opinion: http://www.the-battlefield.co... + more details here and comments possible here: http://www.the-battlefield.co... If you think the poll is too complicated, just leave a brief opinion of what you think is the most unbalanced on the news (second link).
Also @all: please do not hesitate to host 4, 6 or even 8 players game. Just open them here http://www.the-battlefield.co... and let us know in the pool. They should fill up pretty quickly.
1v1, teams (2v2, 3v3), or FFA are all fine with me. Mostly wanting to practice scouting in multiplayer since I mostly have single-player experience at this point.

Information PBEM Player Pool
Regarding the creation of games, you can create one by clicking on Games / Create game on the second menu on top of the site (so there is an easier path than the one you use xlnt. Direct link: http://www.the-battlefield.co...
Games will be created only on The Battlefield website. You will of course need to create them also on the PBEM server in AoW3.
Games on the Battlefield are used to discuss settings, gather players, etc.
Regarding the player pool: it is used to be able to reach 60+ players in order to organize games. It's a gathering of players interested by PBEM (or live MP, on another pool).
Regarding the "playtime tool": you can get more information how to use it here: http://www.the-battlefield.co...
The tool is quite simple actually: everyone update his playtime here (My Account / My Playtime): http://www.the-battlefield.co... then in the game in the Battlefield, you can see the playtime of everyone and "reorder" the turn order ("Refresh Moving Sequence" option that is available on "ongoing games") on the site to optimize it. Then everyone join in the right order and the game should work faster
wait to see how fun reporting a game is (;
