Rather than give away my work email account:

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/genrewars?sort=wins+desc,%20battles

Active looking for that sort of thing when I notice my mouse hovers over links is probably not a bug per-se, but if I can do something so simple to break the display of values, might be worth looking into.

Cheers

Gits

Edit: Oh right, arbitrary value changes for the sort order. It looked like it was going to be SQL to me so I nuckled in something that should have caused an issue et voila.

Horde Limits at 50, not 100 as in rules.

Just a question, where is that genre wars? Been looking for a really long time

Edit. THE IRONY! I JUST GOT A MAIL ABOUT IT!

Yeah... i don't know if this is Genre Wars related but the escapist have been kraching ever since the release... keep getting this message

Fatal error: Database Error: Connection Failed in /sixpack/web/global/classes/class.db.mysql.inc on line 74

The i get a mail from a stalker known as ED and then i have to restart the internet...

It seems to take a really long time for anythong to load.

Pretty fun! I imagine your servers are getting hit hard right now. We aren't going to lose our armies once 'beta' becomes 'not-beta', are we? I'm wasting a lot of work time for this!

Edit: The leaderboard appears to be frozen / not updating. Is it set to update at regular intervals, or was it supposed to be dynamic?

I chose pirate, yet somehow I have a ninja army

I keep losing, I'd like to consider that a bug. :P

For some reason the input thingy for buying troops won't let me buy 9.
Other than that it seems pretty good.

this game is actually pretty solid so far.

Been stuck on

'A person has challenged you! sit around sraching your head for a while during which time they are deciding what to do'

screen for an hour now.

Can we get a way to deselect troops during a battle? I hate having to refresh, then get back to the Genre Wars screen, then having to accept the battle again because I changed my mind.

But really, this is GREAT. Thanks, Escapist.

Not able to access the Edit Army bit; page just comes up as a blank for me.

I've logged into my Escapist account, and then I go to my profile, and click on the "Genre Wars" tab, and it says I'm not logged in. I've tried logging in from there, and it just reloads the page after login and says I'm not logged in again. Am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: I lied...right after posting this I tried again and it worked...that was still odd though.

Will there be upgrades? like more units to choose from and so on...

I had that with 8, but other than that seems fine

Leaderboard updates once an hour. As for loosing armies, no you will not them once out of beta.

Disclaimer: If something major is found that requires us to purge data we will, but we have no plans for it.

I am looking into this, close your browser and restart it. All will be good.

Is there any way I can choose a diffenrent genre? I chose pirate but instead i gont ninja. Anyone know a way how to reset this or something?

This seems to be an issue of the page not loading completely before you select. If that happens the default resets. Make sure the image background has turned blue also around Ninja.

Just press edit army and it'll give you the choice.

You can click on hire troops, then in the tip you will see an option to reset army.

When someone has issued a challenge to you, how long do you have to wait before you can order your troops to attack them?

If I understand you correctly, when you are selecting the troops during the round, you can click on the round number in the middle of the orders page and issue new orders for that round.

Same :)
I've only won 1 out of the 4 games I've played so far.
Im usually good at strategy but it seems that everyone else is better lol.

Neither a bug nor an oddity (I think) but:

Why is there no penalty/reward for retreating?

So far every battle I've had has either been a hopeless ganking (Root of all Evil...) or the enemy has run away the moment I challenge them.
Surely there should be a small penalty/reward for the retreater/stander respectively, to encourage, y'know, fighting.

Just press edit army and it'll give you the choice.

Sorry dude. You can run from any battle but I think you get the coward badge unless you're the attacker.

With a 24hour response time allowed, you might think some attackers get bored.

I can't log in. I'm logged in as me (RetiarySword) and it just says *Please log in or register*

What do I Do?

Things seem to be switching up re: the wait time between challenge and response?

Previously it said that they had 24 hours to respond, but now I get the following message while waiting:

Remember that the defender has 1 hours to respond to your challenge.

Are you playing with this on the fly?

Voodoopigs:

We have reduced the time to for no response on a battle.

Maybe :)
That was an easy configuration change and we didn't want you all sitting around for 24 hours and not getting to beat Spinwhiz. By the way you should really take him down.

Can we have a better way of identifying opponents. i accidently thought i could beat roo of all evil cause i wasnt paying attention.....now i have the coward badge...

Trying to send a recruitment email drops me to a you are not logged on screen, while on the right my profile and messages are displayed. Rather confusing, wot.

Yup, it works. I didn't mess around enough. Thanks man!
