The issue with point games is that the end is anti-climatic. I had a match where both of us are having an epic battle for the center but the game suddenly ended due to the point requirement being achieved. I wanted to see who would have won that battle...

Timed games if timed long enough like 30 mins would give every battle that perfect ending they deserve.

honestly I don't see the point why there shouldn't be more victory conditions. The 1.5 k as sole condition is narrowing gameplay. Don't get me wrong: I see the challenge in there and I appreciate it. But I don't see viable arguments why victory conditions shouldn't cycle like maps do. Keep the 1.5 k one, add some more.

There were already a millions propositions made. Personally I'd back a more combat mission oriented play style: add holding "flags"/terrain as victory points while keeping the ratio of lost/destroyed units in. Like 50% to "flags" and 50% to unit k/d ratio.

Just my five cent :)

@Leviathan, Agreed diversify gameplay to keep it fun!

just add new gamemodes that for instance need you to hold a town that gives you 2x more resources or whatever!

just add more types of games

There is a parallel thread by Satire too showing similar concerns. I am actually very happy that Tigga who is the current ELO leader actually supports the timed victory condition even though the current system clearly works for him.


Yes, which brings me to my original thread starting post - is Eugen looking into this? Please!!!

So now what to do?
Put up a new petition thread and make people sign so that Eugen sees how desperately the community wants this?

An extra one won't hurt, right?
