Col Deadmarsh Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 The BADCO program I use for preventing end of game flag rushes is driving me nuts as me and my opponents constantly have problems using it. Tell me that BTS has employed a similar, but easier to use option in CMBB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpkr Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Yes it does. Blasted Germans got 4 or 5 extra turns to get out of my partisan ambush! I still won, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Battles will only last longer, not shorter though. It's much more convenient and useful than a simple random turn game ender too. I believe the proximity of forces to a flag has a major impact on the lengthening of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 NO flags on the board? Are you sure they weren't just turned off in the menu? Even Quickbattles drops a few flags on the map, that's how the AI know where to direct the troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Weiss Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Thank goodness! Yes, this Badco gizmo is driving me to drink. Well, actually I'd take a snort now and then before but not like now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeAcH Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Sorry you guys didnt like the BADCO deal that BradleyH and I made. But hey, at least it was free (and worked well for us, but then again we made it). And hey, if it in some small way influenced BTS to incorporate such a thing into CMBB, great. But since there insnt a way to do that in CMBO unless you use this then... I don't play much CM without our BADCO BER but that's just me. Thanks again to those of you who donated a few bucks to us here and there. Now, back to staring at the calendar waiting for CMBB's release.

Schrullenhaft Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 I hope we didn't step on any toes there TeAcH. I'm sure a lot of people appreciated the effort you and BradleyH made. I'm fairly certain it influenced BTS's decision to put such a feature in CMBB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 TeAcH - Yeah, just to make sure you know your (and BradleyH's) effort was appreciated - the End Randomizer for CMBO wasn't perfect, but it was a the best available solution to what IMHO was a pretty serious problem with the CMBO game system - at least no one else came up with a better one. The fact that BFC has picked up on what the Randomizer does as a good idea and made it an integrated feature of CMBB is a credit to you guys.

Col Deadmarsh Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 I ditto what everyone else said. You guys obviously put a lot of time into it and I'm sure it was instrumental in getting BTS in putting their own version into CMBB. And for that, I thank you.

TeAcH Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Well that was awfully nice of you guys to say. I'm touched and I appreciate the kind words very, very much. After playing a bunch of games and fearing (and experiencing) the inevitable flag rush, Brad and I spent a bunch of hours cranking this thing out (testing, updating, etc). It's nice to know that it was appreciated. Sorry if I came off like I was upset. I wasn't at all. I knew some people wouldn't like it. Although the BER site is down now, if anyone wants it, they can drop me an email and I'll send it to them in email or via ICQ. Thanks again for the comments. It means a lot. And thanks to BTS for adding something like this to CMBB. BTS, not that you need or want it, but you can have our source code for the BER for free. No strings attached.
