Fixes :

- Updated "Games Window" to use frames and better handle Javascript.
- Also removed the auto-refresh from GamesWindow when in Battles, so you wont lose where you are when it becomes your turn.
- Fixed MarketPlace javascript error that a few players recieved, so trading now works.

Updates :

- Added a timer for Battles so you can see how long since the last person clicked End Turn.
- Added "Force Turn" button for Battles, so if a player goes over 10 minutes, other players can Force the turn to move forward.
- If any player missed 3 Battle turns (due to Force Turn), they are eliminated from the game.
- Changed games so they DO NOT count to ranking if there are 0 total game casualties regardless of game length.

awsome

Some much asked for fixes and updates, plus some extra goodies... nice work Req! I guess my level won't drop for missing the start of Game 13. Thank's a lot.

all hail king Requiem! thank you for your benevolence, sire!

dby, "0 casualties" rule only applies to the game as a whole.

basically, if no player inflicts any deaths before the game is ended (for whatever reason) the whole game wont count.

its mostly for battles that end after turn 5, but where noone has inflicted any kills (usually due to a quiter or inactive).

one question req, if someone removes a wall, will that count toward a casualty? it usually shows up as one in the game news.

if it shows as a "Death" then yes.

but why remove walls in a Battle?

sorry, trade secrets. i could tell you, but then i'd have to kill you.

you remove walls because they are in the way! wait... I'd just use it to hide behind...

BEST....UPDATE...EVER!!!

Just when I was getting myself to learn not to type in the battle window he decides to fix the bug

JK, I appreciate req finally taking care of "THE MOST ANOYING BUG EVER : ?"

I've already expressed my concerns about the battle time in the chit chat forum- but wildcat brings up an interesting point. By destroying a wall at the begining of the game you can force the game to count. IE if the other player suddently has to leave, even if the armies haven't meet yet, the game will count against him if he quits. I'll be more carful about starting a game in the future if I'm not sure I can finish it.

Despite this, it is a good improvement. It is possible to loose a battle in the first few turns, and a player could quit under 6 turns (if they were loosing) and keep their rank. This never happened to me, but I immagine it was a problem.

Blood,
removing a wall does show up in the Game News as a casualty, but does NOT show up in the Rankings as a Death nor a Kill. I checked after getting req's answer. So I believe that removing walls will not count towards keeping the game going.

Oh darn, I thought I'd figured out your secret

mmmm... so ppl told me that i m been marked as multi well i m not multi lor just that my brother also playing lor so we play 2gether there4 i vote for him he vote 4 me lor btw if i play at sch... my friend hu is also playing will have the same ip address lor cause we share the same pc so now i hope to clear up this doup lor thx....

ppl who play in waronline just like to ask u ppl a Q do this game allow clan????
NEXT if those of u study n play this game in sch i like to ask u that i me n my friend also play this game n we share the same pc dose this count as we r multi???
thrid currently i m playing in game37 someone say that i m multi just like b4 someone also think that i m multi but later on he also help me and say that i m not a multi cause he found out that i really not a multi...
so i hope that the OP will really check out this if not, i think that all of u in the waronline becareful NEVER PLAY AS A CLAN, NEVER HAVE FRIEND WHO ALSO PLAY THIS GAME AND MOST OF ALL ............

This is more apropiate for the questions forum, but the rule is clear: if you share an IP/computer with someone, you're not allowed to join the same games. Why? Simply because it's impossible to seperate a multi who is cheating from 2 friends playing from the same computer.

Your friend is allowed to play, but simply in different games.

Second, please, capital letters only in their correct place and some punctuation

Please do not post in this forum. It's for news only.

Gueritol, your preaching a hopeless cause: all you can do is laugh at their blind determination to be heard.

Take numpty for example: dispite the notible handicap of poor spelling and reasoning ability he is commited to kicking all our "asss" if we reply. You have to admire such a bold expression of will.

i think i have a bug, i am in a battle yet there is no timer, and its been over 30 min, i dont see the force turn opption either. it says my opp is still on. i dont know if this is where i post bugs, so i thought i would try anyway.

This is the wrong forum for reporting bugs. Please post in the right Forum.
