The commander looks like the kind of pilot who ravages the Navigator's d*** and gives flight attendants fashion advice.

It gives the game a bit of a "chess" feel. Like, you want to take your opponent's stuff, but protect the king at all costs.

Yeah, a value of 7 matters in small beginnings, but mostly you just want to protect him.

Castle, that is also possible. Either way, he is not a military commander.

Fizzer listened to one of my suggestions.

Ayyy lmao get rekt [rest of warlight community] your lives are meaningless I have ascended into the Astral Plane with Fizzer, Anthony and the rest.

One minor bug:

When you use an 'Emergency Blockade', and have entered your orders but are still waiting for other players, it shows up as "Abandon" on the map, but as "Blockade" in the Orders window. (Neither being entirely correct, of course...)

HI,

I think the commander option is intriguing, however I think WL should stay 2d, rather that with a goofy looking commander.. the lure of WL is the low graphics that don't distract from the strategy.

Having bought a lifetime membership for myself (and about 6 of my friends), I am rather disappointed to see it go away. On the other side of the coin, I guess that gives those of us with lifetime memberships some resale value on our accounts when we retire. Seriously though, I wonder what kind of a price an account with lifetime membership would fetch...

Also, I don't think that anyone has mentioned it, but you can now find the territories for local deployment a lot easier.

Yeah, the Local Deployment upgrade is pretty much the only update I'm happy about.

Welsh Knight, it's not "2D" graphics, rather "Vector" graphics, which the commander is not. He's a "pixel" style and it really doesn't fit. It's quite jaring in fact.

LOCAL DEPLOYMENT WW2 DIPLO INCOMING!!!!

On Memberships:

I don't think the lifetime one should have been removed until fizzer can actually stick to deadlines.
I know he needs time (Blah blah #Fizzerappologists blah blah) to implement stuff but if I'm paying monthly I expect at LEAST a monthly update/blog post from him to tell me where my monthly money is going.

Is that not fair enough?

For example, if I'm paying monthly I'd expect better perks such as exclusive use of a map for a month etc)
At the moment all I can see is that I would be paying a monthly charge for nothing the average user would want...

Honestly though, this is EXACTLY how gyms make their cash. You sign up, you forget, you get charged. Scumbag move.

Rest of the update is alright though.

I didn't read the whole thread so this may have been suggested already... but what if there was an option to make commander army values progressive like reinforcement cards? Make it based on how many territories are owned or how many turns have passed?

Also haven't read all of it, probably 60% or so. To state the obvious, you can make your commander as strong as you want. Just put him in a territory and add armies to it. The commander + the armies you put there will be much stronger than 7 :) It actually gives you MORE options this way.

^ You might as well argue that you can make a single army as strong as you want by doing that. After all, one soldier + 50000 soldiers clearly makes that first soldier as strong as 5001.

:P Perhaps you might want to start by not deliberately misunderstanding the request.

I love the commander!

I kinda agree. On the one hand, kinda scummy. On the other hand, I bet it'll work. Fizzer will get more steady income; not an entirely terrible thing, apart from the scumminess.

I wouldn't never have bought membership if it wasn't liftime, why didn't he just put the price up if he was that concerned about money?

This is absolutely not the way to go, I think Fizzer has either lost the plot or wants to run Warlight into the ground already.

My problem with it is unless you are going to give members some more perks, they won't renew the monthly one. So I think those people will outweigh any gains from someone who might forget to cancel it.

If he does actually give some more perks, then he could end up making quite a bit more. Right now though, I just don't see the incentive for people. Perhaps this is just step 1?

It would be pretty great if I can highlight if one army stands guard is off or commander is used in a game

Maybe Fizzer could be induced to bring back a lifetime membership for a higher price? I mean, $35 was kind of a steal, anyway. Why not raise it to like $65 or even $99? I don't know why it bothers me to no longer have that option (especially since I already have it), it just does. lol
