Re: Bot Talk

Apologies if this has been asked previously, but are the bots playing PPSC? You mean are they playing to win or are they optimizing for supply centers? I'm almost certain they're playing to win, but not 100% sure, I'll ask when I next get a chance Just so, thanks! I’ve played hundreds of seven-hand...

Also, did someone once mention that y’all have better gunboat bots? Any chance we could have a go at them?

Thanks!

Re: WebUI on mobile is unusable

I rather like the new UI on mobile (running Chrome on an iphone 12). Could use a few tweaks here and there, but what upgrade doesn’t? Shoutout to the devs and mods!

Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge

@V+ It's winner-take-all in the event of a solo, under both scoring systems. SoS is the closest scoring method webDip has to reward the board-top in the event of a draw, so it seemed the best choice. Fair take, Doug. I guess the way I see it, the most diffiuclt result to earn is a win, and the seco...

Re: Does this cross the line?

Shoutout to Kestas and all the mods for everything y’all do to keep this whole thing working. Y’all deserve all the respect and gratitude that this community can possibly summon. I’m a tech dummy, but I’m happy to contribute as a game mod.

I find the Ita/Aus alliance to be quite successful in gunboat and press games.

Re: Reliabilty rating recovery

Thanks for the explanation. Your call, boss. Seems like tough break to play reliably for years then get saddled with a scarlet “U” for missing a couple of turns, but I guess that’s life in the NRL. Thanks for keeping this whole thing afloat for as long as you have...

Re: Reliabilty rating recovery

Ah, so missed turns mete out uniform hits against reliabilty, regardless of number of turns/time banked reliably? That is to say, a player who misses one turn out of thousands played is penalized the same as a player who misses one turn outnof dozens?

Reliabilty rating recovery

Hey, y’all. Do reliablity ratings rebound over time/subsequent games? Thanks.

Re: Easier Bots

You're definitely not wrong with the analysis of my gameplay in the early years. I was definitely all over the place. It's part of my playing with the bots and trying to learn them... But there has to be a moment when Fra goes for the kill against Eng earlier, alliance be damned, no? Or a moment whe...

Re: Easier Bots

I'm new to bot games (just using it to play around in the new UI), and the behavior that confused me most in the game linked below was the collusion between Eng and Fra that lead to a Fra solo win. Thing is, Fra had numerous opportunities to easily win earlier in the game, but the dynamic duo took i...

Re: New Board UI testing

Hey, y'all. Not sure if it's been mentioned already, but one thing I've noticed about the new board is that smallest view of the map seems to be too "tall" for my browser window. That is to say, even when I've zoomed out all the way, I can't see units in EAS and BAR without panning. I suppose it's n...

Re: New Board UI testing

New map looks great, y'all. Thanks for all the work you put on this! I'm an old-timer who doesn't pay on mobile, so I'm perfectly satisfied with the old map, but I'm game to innovate. That said, I've got a couple of longtime webdip UI wonderings. Apologies if these have been asked and answered in pr...
