1: The whole point of the map IS TO REMOVE CHOICE. If you want total freedom of choice just play a regular QB.

the whole point of the map I thought was to show us progress of our games in relation to the other side's progress. The terrain limitations were implemented to prevent the battles from all being MEs which was a complaint of the previous domination series. If you want freedom of choice , you play outside of Domination, just like any other challenge here.

2:Given the above and seeing the map dictates terrain, QB type etc, why not take that process to its logical fulfillment and have the game system dictate time as well. Look at Eurodom, its whole evolution from normal DOM is an increase in the amount of parameters that are DICTATED, e.g. it decreases the choice of the challenger etc.

But the whole deal with choices is only to prevent all the Battles from being MEs, the time dictation is actually up to the challenger to set with his challenge post. It seems you want ALL of us to follow the same time factor and that's where time would become a preset setting instead of a choice, which we're running out of with the limits of the map settings. By leaving the time of the battles open to the challenger, that's one of his choices left to dictate.

3: The only clear valid reason for no DICTATED time context is that of complexity. My whole point is that time isnt complex.
No, it isn't complex, but it is more than the designer wanted to impose upon the players at this time. We have enough restrictions with the terrain limits, why make the Domination fights completely limited?
I'm sure he's considering it in his next series tho, to add a little more restriction to the battles. Right now there is no time constraints other than what the challenger makes them to be. I assume leaving us with the choice to pick our own time frame to fight in, is a blessing rather than being limited by yet another restriction that might put people off from playing.


It may appear that I am taking this way to seriously but this one of my pet hates. It has nothing to do with EuroDom itself, I just hate it when you make a seemingly valid observation and all you get in response are a bunch of repeated waffley replies that dont actualy relate to the observation you have made.
I'm trying mate, I'm trying :)

I am just trying to have a discussion about whether a dictated time context (NOT TIMELINE) would be complicated or not. So far apart from MCivan no one has actually made a post in reply to me that actually relates to that discussion. That is what is sending me mad.

SILENCE.
