Warrior General Games

VA and tactics time again ... there is a reason why I'm going two straight seasons without building a single new dot for the first time ever, and it isn't because of flex. It's because I don't have enough time for them. Making this coordination easier would improve the game experience a lot for people with large numbers of dots by reducing the amount of time spent on busy work and leaving more for the more enjoyable parts.

Something should be done with this ... maybe even going further than the original suggestion. Think about a whole new interface being made available for communication/coordination between coaches and agents. Nothing to do with control, just communicate and coordinate with control over it left to the agent (although the ability to let things be set automatically by coordinators ought to be part of it.) Tactics and VAs both eat a lot of time if you have a large number of dots and you are trying to do it all through forum and PM.

Good point. Forgot about that caveat.

Does anyone think that the reason this one never happens, despite wide support, is that they are worried that is would somehow make it too easy to use multi-accounts and abuse the free dot?

If so, can we think of a way to alleviate that concern and get this done?

I don't know if that's a real concern, at this point I guess I'm just trying to rationalize why there's an advantage to leaving something in the game that adds more tedium and busywork the more dots you have.

Yup... solution would be to actually enforce the no multi rule. Right now you can use a multi to play the game but get banned for using a multi to post.

much preferable to having a players tactics visible or anything that would force agents to comply

What give you the right to "force" agents to do anything?
