Posible Solution for the units and map problem

[Celtiberos Shimazu]

1) People always takes the same powerful units??
Are mosketeers very cheap??.
I think that problems about units could find a solution if the server of the game, make a stadistic about the demand of a units (p.e. mosketeers), and increment/decrease the price of that unit.

2) About maps, I think that if server make a stadistic about the percent of victorys of defenders in a map, and then, apply a correction of the amount of koku (or total number of units) for defenders.
So, the maps will be aproach to the 50% of possibilities to win, for each side, and maps to play will be more variated. (no Iron Board forever)

But, of course, this is impossible, because, EA aren´t going to work in order to the server make this. Perhaps, it could be in Medieval TW.

Ah so! I too had suggested something similar long, long ago when the whole 'map rating' thing was going on...

On the current server this can never work, as the server has no communications about the game to and from the players, other than the ranking. The stats are on the players' pc's and can't get updated from the server.

And of course EA won't do much on the servers anymore.

For the future, I also believe there won't be the possibility for the server(s) to keep this kind of stats.

Actually... there IS a way to do the rating easily... just not enforce the restraints it would propose.

You could find a web server and do these:

1. Migrate Vanya's log reader to ASP.

2. Add form where each user can submit their log file.

This way, ALL users can upload their logfiles, and the universal Vanya log reader can spew out map ratings based on ALL people's maps... not just yours. And you could do all the sweet queries you can do now with the Vanya reader, but now do so across all peoples. You could peer into the madness of Vanya's legendary legion armies of the Chain era, or gaze at the Khan's accomplishments and his revolutionary use of the horse during the pre-MI years.

Alas, I weep, for this is a fantasy... But at least I can still revel over Vanya's legendary legion armies of the Chain era... http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/eek.gif

Chaval, el clan, YA está en accion.
Solemos vernos todas las noches a eso de las 23:00 (hora española). Pero los lunes, quizás sea el dia de mas actualidad.
