The ladder was good until one day I was mad cause the ladder gave me something like 5 games to play. I would only like 2-3 max. Also it took me out of the ladder, so I had to rejoin now (don't remember leaving it)

You can choose the number of games you would like to play.

If you do not join an allocated game within three days, it counts a boot and a loss.(These games are deleted by the CLOT since I cannot force you to join).

The ladder automatically removes you if you have lost a game by boot so to prevent you from destroying your rating in case you forgot to leave.

I like this ladder a lot, but more people would be great. I know I've played a few people like 4 or 5 times already.

Has this been posted in the General forum? Lately?

i think this thread was originally in the general part but think someone placed it into the correct spot but it is a notable thread right now at least

ahhh great thanks i don't remember seeing that button must have been tired or something, but now i know. no problems now.

Just checking in..

How does everyone find the games so far? Do you have any suggestions for change of template to make things more interesting? Or is it engaging enough right now for it to stay as is?

Could you use https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=636318 (Season XIX), but with random bonuses? Edit: and use attack/transfer only.

I find it odd that *everyone* ends up at 19XX rating. Of all ranked players, number 38 (at 1900) to 1 (at 1973) is withing a 73 rating span. Strange considering that you start at 1400. Can someone explain why?

I mean this doesn't appear to be the case for the RT ladder.

I think the ladder is running very successfully, and see no need to alter the template.
(Correct me If I am wrong, but I think this is the longest and biggest running CLoT.)

I like the template, and am finding it a fun ladder.

Template is fine, but i agree with TBest - rating looks suspicious

I like the ladder a lot. I agree the ratings seem a little funny.

The stating rating could be about 100-200 lower to rectify this.

I'm using a 3rd party library for the TrueSkill algorithm.
The ratings do seem messed up. I will see what I can do.


I'm not sure I want to switch the template to Multi-attack though. I know a lot of folks who really don't like it so much.

I think template-wise, the only likely change is that it could change from 0% SR to 0% WR to match the 1v1 ladder. However, that will only happen if there appears to be support for it. 0% WR is my personal preference, but we'll go with the will of the people :)

0% SR because there's more skill, and you know exactly how many armies you need to capture a territory / defend from attacker (based on income predictions).

I'm waiting for it to pair me with new opponents. I like this ladder!

I like 0% SR because I'm better at it. It's not entirely clear to me that it's more skill though - just different things to consider. If you ever lose the game because your 3 armies failed to take a neutral, either it was a very close game or you had no business using 3 armies for that territory.

Also, the ladder is a lot of fun - thanks for setting it up!

i'm 100% sure that playing with a bit of luck requires more skill. the term ''skill game'' for no luck cyclic is wrong used.

^^^ whats all the no-luck rage? IMO. 16% luck is more strategic than 0% luck. With no luck factors there would be an optimal starting position.
