That was one heck of a stand there Dameon. I think the WOK Manager was a little tough on me.

Heh, my 27 troops taking out 89 of yours? I may have lost, but at least I went out fighting. Those are numbers I'll take any day. If you look at the starting PATT/PDEF though you should have lost 4 troops every 1 I lost, at least before I started losing catapults. I think the manager was a little tough on you but the numbers aren't that out of line. The question is, what can I do for an encore? :twisted:

Taker, I know you are not talking about your battle for 54 with me. Your PATT was 30, my PDEF was 39. You lost 18 troops, I lost 20 plus my creature. If anything, it was a little rough on me there. On the other hand, Allister definetely got beat down by the manager when he attacked. He still should have lost, but not by nearly as much as he did there's no question about that. It's all good, I'm on my last hurrah anyway. At least by taking all those TK provinces and having Allister clean up after me I may make the endgame a little more balanced. 8)

That ain't no lie............

What is going on here?

Must be a bug in the manager again.

I demand a rerun, let's take a vote shall we?

No, I was talking about the battle at 35. That was complete and utter crap.

I hadn't looked at that very closely, but now that you mention it, it was a little too one sided, wasn't it?

UT the only problem with good luck, is you usually have bad luck some place else to balance it all out.

BUG!

Post by TK » Mon Mar 28, 2005 9:58 am

Turn 16 of the Champs and I get hit by a bug in the manager!! :evil:


°° You have a Tech Level of 16
°° This allows you to use 6 valid Attack Orders.


According to the manual I should have *7* attacks (and I issued 7, of course).

Just wait till someone breaks the manager... I know it's possible, just a matter of time before someone does it...

Mea culpa.

I looked up the code, it claims you get 7 attacks only starting at Tech Level 17 (not 16 as it says in the manual etc.)

I suggested to increase TKs TL to 17 so he can use full attacks to help the situation.

The correct number will be in the next engine update. I definitely want to clear WOK5 of more bugs and inbalances, PLEASE sit together and compile me a list of stuff you would like me to look into. Ill try to get something done as soon as I have the list.

OK it is official. Allister has now officially conceeded the game to Thin King. So I guess Congratulations are in order.

It was a well played game by all the players and I am proud to say I believe it was the quickest champs game since WOK5 started.

Thanks all for your pateince with me when I messed up a couple times.

"tab water"?

You'll bring no filthy Cambridge water anywhere near our Great City!

Or is it the distilled tears of hundreds of Cambridge Students, who have to admit that a guy from Oxford is World Champion at anything? If so, it's a good present, but he'd probably prefer the beer! :wink:


Congrats TK.

*more serious this time*

Hell of a game there TK. Took out most of the players. I feel that I just need to ask you two things.

1. Who should get credit for bringing you back to these shores?

2. When the he** is The Streets next album released?

*looks towards the general crowd pointing at TK*
