Warrior General Games

We can probably get it added to Frequently Posted, or the "Might happen at some point in the future" section of the NGHL so that the link is preserved out here, too.

In fact, I'm going to find a full mod to do that.

And by find, I mean scroll up to r87.

I understand you're moving through and it's easier for the sake of organization to get things out of that forum that aren't going to happen soon. And I'm not trying to be a rebel about this.

I'm just worried that this idea will quickly fade to the back pages of the suggestions forum without someone coming to consistently "bump" it back to the front page ... it seems to be a rather sad demise for a pretty popular idea, one that might be revisited in the future. And it's only a matter of time before someone else suggests the same thing because they have no idea it's been suggested and debated and refined in the past. Then we have multiple threads for the same idea cluttering up the suggestions forum, no way to search for them, etc...

I like the idea of a potential sub-forum in epic. I hope this thread will be remembered and brought there if it's ever created.

I'm going to get it added to the Frequently Posted Suggestions. It will at least be saved somewhere on there

Well fine... beat me to my own great idea.

And added to the bottom of NGHL, since it isn't posted frequently (just this one big thread).

Also, this idea has been minimalized down to needing only one change (roster size limits) and its own league. It is not a time-intensive idea. It brings a new GLB experience, and apparently one that people want, with almost no effort required.


Are you kidding me? He worked on the abomination that is/was "coaches" for God only knows how long, but he couldn't be bothered to set up a new league that requires only ONE coding change--that of a restrictive roster limit? Jeez.

Sad to see it lose it's EPICness, but it may garner even more attention out here anyway. Hopefully it'll gain an insane amount of support and become a priority over some other coding changes.(I don't mean sim fixes by that either)

It needs roster size limits.
It needs its own leagues.
It needs players to COMPLETELY change their builds, though ideally it would actually involve new player classes.
It needs OOPs changed, since currently they decimate playing on the wrong side of the ball.

Really, Iron Man with just a roster size change would be fun for maybe three games.

That doesn't affect Bort, nor does it require any programming time on his part.

Nope--that's NOT what most of us were asking for. Since the OOPs would decimate BOTH teams equally, we (most of us) made no request that they be changed.


It would be INCREDIBLY SIMPLE to create Iron Man football--leave EVERY SINGLE CURRENT PIECE OF CODE in place, and simply shrink the roster size. Then the folks that choose to own/join those leagues would deal with the consequences of the OOP penalties and other such nuances.

never fear, it's saved in Project Bort to revisit later.

Has this been tested and verified? This idea gained a large part of its support from people who weren't asking for any OOP change at all. We considered it all part of the strategy for building an Iron Man team.

Which brings me to the next point:

Build strategies? Yes. Builds? No.

We only wanted this as a startup league with newly created players and given a chance to grow. We don't want established, built players to change anything, nor do we want them to be able to come into a new league and crush it in its infancy.

Just wanted to clarify those two points

NOoooooo....
this is a nightmare the best idea f4 moved out of Epic
cruel cruel world ;(
why 6)
why why...
wasnt this even a chance to get maybe a test set yp how this works with the cpu players and suchs and the 21 man roster size

Because Bort said "not now, too many things wrong with it, maybe later."

I assume someone conveyed what the "too many things wrong" were to work out?
