timmyc69 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 If your opponent sets up a PBEM game how can you tell what level of play he chose...I know just ask him...not supposed to be secret, but really. Is there any place when in a turn where you can check that? Truth...I set up a game and forgot what setting I chose. One game I know was BASIC but I think the second that I set up was Warrior. I suppose "forgetting" is a bad sign...but nevertheless, I would have thought there would be a way for either player to check the level of play setting. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I don't know if it's the best way, but one way would be to load up the PBEM, exit the PBEM and start a new game. Whatever the difficulty level is set at by default will be the last difficulty level you played at. Theoretically. I've never tried it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Once you're in the game, I think all the levels except Warrior vs Veteran are pretty obvious. IIRC, the differences between Warrior and Veteran are only on the timings of things, rather than the presentation of the interface and what information is in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmyc69 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 You are VERY CORRECT Vanir...when I tried to start a new battle and selected it, the first choice it gave me was 2 player Email and the default was ELITE...which is what my last loaded Pbem game is. So you were correct...untested by you or not. I will go back and load up another PBEM I have going and do the same thing, exit and they open a new battle and see if it, too, matches what I know to be the level we are playing....but I am sure that the result will be the same. You are correct. As to the other reply...perhaps when I have more experience with the game I will be able to recognized the levels by the various differences...thanks again.

A Canadian Cat Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 the board software has limits to how many I can include in my sig.

This is why some kind of lobby system would be nice, there could be transparency regarding the settings instead of what we have now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
