Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
"Undoing" the rollback only works if we still have the old homeland file, which will be needed if Pyg and Frank are to reuse the turns they already did. Generally I think that'll just lead to Chaos, although I can hardly complain.
Frank wants it called - Pyg and Illum have been making noises about calling the game for some time.
For future reference - am I the only one who likes VP accumulation? My suggestion for future team games would be:
* 2 VP in each team captain's capital
* 1 VP in each other player capital and in each AI capital (if there are any.)
* Things should be called after the late game has started but before it has dragged on forever; that is, about now. This'd be 50VP total for the team, I think, to claim victory.
* VP accumulation discourages turtling.
* No rollbacks, even if the server catches fire or the admin maliciously deletes .trn files. If you allow any rollbacks at all, you get rollback creep, where in the spirit of fairness you have the give rollbacks.
