UNIWAR Feature Requests

[beeonrope]

Since the UNIWAR forums are not online yet, let's use this space to collect feature request enhancements for the developer.

The game browser for existing online games (Join a game) is unusable. There are 103 screens of games nearly all of which are just 1v1 games started by bots. Want to find a 4 player human match? Good luck!

I would like fewer bot games, or a way to filter them out. There should also be filters by number of players, player slots left, perhaps even map.

The joinable games are filtered by players, then bots. As you go through the list, the games shown at the beginning are all user-created until you see a bot game. The rest will be bot games. Also, with each group the games are sorted by closest rank.

Hope this helps reduce the amount of searching for user-created games.

I'd love to see a search button and less than ten minutes per turn.
And when someone doesn't do their turn in the allotted time frame, instead of waiting for the game starter to kick the person out you should just be able to go onto the next turn straight away.

Anyone in the game is allowed to kick the idle player when the time runs out, not just the person who created the game.

a map maker would be awesome. and chat in games before they have started, and an improved chat in games that your playing, maybe with a notification when somebody has said something.

I completely agree with the Game Reaper. Having the game bypass the slow player (it would be just as if they ended their turn w/o moving) is much better - it really sucks if take 11 minutes on a 10 minute timer after playing 50 rounds into an intense ranked match and the other player kicks you just so they can win.

I'd suggest that the player just missed the chance to move up until some limit - say 10x the game timer, at which point they can be kicked. Otherwise kicking will be used frequently to win games without completing them.

Yes, I noticed the day after I posted that user-created games have been bumped to the top - much better!

Of course, more powerful filters as mentioned elsewhere (or even just more information on the summary screen) would be great as well, but I understand that will take longer.

Alright... enough UniWar threads. This is the fourth one today...

Just post ideas in one of the other threads.

difficulty levels, movement and other animations, and a map editor

It certainly could happen if this suddenly jumps to #1 overnight like idracula did.
