still going bad.
bc if i attack 3v1 5/6 v 2, and my opponent risk and he take bonus, i lost ONLY for luck.
and which is the point for lose from luck?
if you want a funny clot, put 100% luck a lot of start full distribution.
i want a competitive clot, that best team fight. and the best win. not the best lucky :P
also, i alays see you play low luck, so why you suggest 75% luck?

*always

^^ this is why I think there is a different type of skill needed for 75 luck.

if a territory is not too important and/or i can't afford armies: 2v1 or 3v2
if a territory is somewhat important: 4v2 or 3v1
to gain positioning to approach the enemy's bonuses: 5v2
for other attacks: more armies = more certainty, based on importance and affordability

75 luck is the luck most commonly played i bet. then 16 luck. then 0. why would I want to play a luck setting less people play? is that why you prefer 0 luck? more certainty plus you are more familiar with it, which gives you an advantage?

75% is the most commonly played, ONLY bc only member can create low luck.
0 and 16% on weighted random are dimilar.
but on 0% luck 7v4 always work, on 16% luck could fail and this is bad. risk to fail=luck

*similar

7v4 can fail. so if the spot is important enough, do a 8v4 attack. that's what i do.

trying to add more features and also fix a bug about vacations not being honored,

2 games in europe warlords got created that are residue, don't have the ids, if you give me the ids i can delete them.

the only games that count for the ladder are the ones listed on the page.
http://www.tpolm.org/~ps/wl_clot/random3vs3/

could really use a way to search for all games recently created by user to clean these kind of screwups :S

to double the number of games being played i added a second set to the game creation. The first remains the same: random teams amongst the 6 players of each rank tier. The second set pairs the top player + 2 from the bottom (last and 3rd last) and throws them into a game against the second top player + 2 other bottom (second and fourth last). And so on consecutively until there are no 6 players left to make any more games.

As mentioned before the several templates now rotate on each batch of games created. First one was East Asia, currently it's Europe Warlords, next should be Medium France, then Europe Cities, Battle Islands IV and Imperium Romanum.

Fizzer pointed out to me how to check the games recently created, so all residue games have now been deleted. :) play on :)

well done. once it's all on the homepage there will be little reason (for me) to play the medium earth ladders again.

(or, you could add a community tab on your website and some of us can shift our conversations over there. add some ads and you can make a buck.)

don't think Fizzer plans on having external ladders listed on the homapage. i wouldn't mind giving him a dump of my db and letting him incorporate it as an official ladder though, or retiring one of them when an official replacement pops up at some point. but i think it's a bit too soon to be thinking on such things.

i can tell you i don't think i will ever put ads on the homepage i set up for the clots. there is the flattr button there if someone wants to support my development on it, they can use that. contributions are welcome since i could be using my time coding paying stuff, but not required from anyone. this is just a hobby for when i'm procastinating on taking care of something else. :)

a simple oneliner / chatroom would be easy to create on that page, but am waiting on fizzer to enable warlight user authentication across 3rd party sites first. we have talked about it, it's in the plans, no clue for when it'll be ready. this would be great addition to the warlight gameapi because it would enable realtime ladders.

i have considered requesting for a special forum section to announce these kind of events, not just clots but also the champions league, 20 tournaments, clan leagues, live streams and that kind of (users self-organized) stuff.

I'd like to join.

VaporX: added

I'd be interested in the random teams ladder ps. Great work you're doing!

Pushover: added. thanks.

can you remove me from the random team ladder.

Translation: my teammates sucked and let me down, LOL

if teammate sucked, you can help them, suggest them pick/move/plan : )

I'm just messing with him. I don't know the reason (haven't played on his team yet)
