Steve...Will There Be A Change To The Handicap Option In CM2?

[Col Deadmarsh]

Us ladder players really need an overhaul of that rudimentary handicap option that's currently in place. As it stands right now, the minimum penalty you can give attackers is -20%. Some people might be willing to play with this as a disadvantage as the attacker and some won't.

We really need to be able to input our own number there just like we could in Close Combat. In that game, you could make your own maps, have the other person take a look at them, and then bargain between the two of you what points you think would be fair for both sides.

Can we do something like this in CM2? At the very least, I'd like to see a drop down box with percentages in 5% increments or smaller or points in increments of 25 or smaller.

In fact, you could do away with the option altogether and just have an input box where you could type in the points for each side with a default value showing for probes, attacks, and assaults once the player enters the screen.

Please consider this as it would greatly benefit the game to have this option to fine-tune the point values for each battle.

Please put me out of my misery and lemme know if there's gonna be a change for CM2 in this area.

And even better: why not allow tweaking the play balance for BOTH sides? Then you could for example play using the same map, but with twice as many troops. Just give +100% to both sides.
