Join the game I posted, then.

Bane, my Firefox freezes when I open that link in unity. And there's no way to open the game in the stand-alone version. Maybe invite me to the game Bane. Fizzer, anything I can do about that?

FAQ about Commerce games:

Q: Why don't I have income?
A: Commerce replaces income. Base armies becomes gold. Which means you don't have to deploy anything.

And there's no way to open the game in the stand-alone version

Try Ctrl+G. That lets you go to games by link.

Which means you don't have to deploy anything.

Indeed! In commerce games, you won't get the "you must fully deploy" error when trying to commit, as you can deploy as few armies as you like. It's even okay to commit with 0 orders.

Wow, CTRL-G !! Is there a shortcut lists for unity? Should be added to

Also I know U for autopilot in Unity (what else is there in Unity)?

Other observations: the more armies you deploy, the more gold it costs. So at some point (especially early in the game) it's not effective to deploy that many armies past the threshold where every army you deploy costs 2 gold each. Instead, it's better to divide your income between building some cities and army, instead of all going to army. In time, the gold you earn from the cities will pay off better than the armies you receive. Of course if the enemy is at the door, you should probably defend/attack, not invest in cities.

Is it possible that your income is so big that you won't have enough gold to deploy them?

Let's say first 10 armies cost 1 gold each, next 10 cost 2 gold each, next 10 cost 3 gold each etc. Also assuming no cities.

cost to deploy 10 armies = 10 gold
cost to deploy 20 armies = 10+10*2 = 30 gold
cost to deploy 30 armies = 10+10*2+10*3 = 60 gold

So if you have 30 income, but only 30 gold, you can only deploy 20 armies, and your other 10 armies are wasted?

So if you have 30 income, but only 30 gold, you can only deploy 20 armies, and your other 10 armies are wasted?

Those other 10 armies never existed -- you couldn't afford them. If you have 30 gold in those settings, you can afford 20 armies.

Could you consider adding bonuses that have a percentage-based return? All investments are currently linear, which is fine in early turns as the difference between a single army per turn can be huge... but the difference between two players earning 30 vs 36 per turn vs 5 per turn against 6 is the same. Why should a person in late-game strat 1v1 need to capture two more Central Americas to add 20% to their income, using the above example?

This sounds cool, actually

this looks really, really awesome. I'm sure Fizzer will implement it fairly well :D

no thanks

Will it be someday added for non-members?

*SOLD*
Kretoma is now a member.

So there's no plan to add this to Flash version (no matter member or not?)

Also, there's tournament bug associated - you can invite non-members to tournament with economy enabled, they can join without problems and 'Cannot invite non-members to tournament with economy' exception is thrown only when tournament is going to start (even if the last joining player is member)

Could you add in the open games Unity filter games with commerce?

Will it be someday added for non-members?

Yes, when the Unity client is officially released. No word on when that is , yet.

So there's no plan to add this to Flash version

Flash is a dying platform, so I'm not planning to invest any more time into the Flash client.

Also, there's tournament bug associated

Good catch! Thanks for letting me know. Please avoid using commerce templates in tournaments unless all players are members.

No word on when that is , yet.

:/

one spot open on the test commerce game i posted.

When creating a game, click "Change Army settings". Add commerce, clicking submit.

Issue: Back in the "create game" screen. It doesn't show that commerce was added.




Also, created a diplo game with commerce https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=13922952
