i wish ent bot make civ war game 1v1 mode like legion td

[RaptorXI]

So you guys want to 1v1 but don't want to control 3 lanes, funny.
A possibility to !votestart for at least 2 players looks good if we keep the old automatic start for 3:3.

[khspww94]

I'm okay with 1v1 where one player can control all 3 lanes... I just don't think that many players are capable of doing similarly... Hence why I say that reduce the votestart for at least 2 players which is still 1v1 with 3 lanes able to be control...

[supersexyy]

Agree with votestart, would be a nice implementation. The only problem is someone win-trading.

[RaptorXI]

If !votestart then for all XvX modes, not just 1v1, that's my wish

@supersexyy
Why is win-trading a problem?

[supersexyy]

Well votestart would work in a way where you can have any number of players on any team, and just type !votestart.

Well someone can make two accounts and farm himself wins. Although, I don't think it will be a big issue.

[RaptorXI]

So mean hahaha
But with more ban requests game could become popular again?

[HazarDous]

I understand it would be a nice implementation, but my question is whether anyone would actually use it?

Would anyone like to play 1v1..?

[khspww94]

I think there is some players who prefer 1v1.. Not on my part thou.. been quite some time since I play 1v1.. In fact, I don't even play Civil Wars that much anymore.. but I still kept myself up to date with it..

Just a heads-up: When we implemented the code to auto-lock game mode at game start, we did it for normal play in the 3v3 sense. (Which I *think* might be the reason all of red's units spawn with less hp? But I don't know for sure.) If you implemented a vote start, we would need to remove that auto mode selection and then the red player would need to correctly use the "-XvX" command at game start.

As to if anyone would use it - I know I would LOVE to play 1v3 or 1v1 (if people were up to it). I know I don't play much, so I guess my vote shouldn't carry too much weight, but that is my thought at least.

@khspww94 @XGDeath3 @RaptorXI

Can you elaborate (or rather simplify) on how mode is enabled in civ war?

We'll probably need to test it, I guess. I'll see next week when I have time.

@HazarDous
"-XvX"
Where the "X" represents number of players present on each side (west Vs East).
For example, if I am player 1 (Red), I am on the Western team. If I am playing against three other players, I would use the command: -1v3
This would give me control of all three builders on the western team.

Currently though, the map itself has enabled the "auto command" (I forgot the name of that coding library that you can input into a map to pass variables from lobby into game) so it ALWAYS chooses -3v3 currently. This would need to be changed in order to allow for this suggestion to work.

[khspww94]

Well as pointer by xgdeath3... I think ent can only close slots but as far as the issue of making it 1v3 or at least 1v1.. I think its better if the map creator make it such way instead of ent closing the slot... Sometimes some map closing the slot does has no effect on the game.. As such it would not be a 1v3 or 1v1 for that matter... Is @RaptorXI possible to make a new map but same version, just that 1 player able to control all 3 lanes.. and the gold and lumber is on 1 player instead of split into 3 different hall?

[XGDeath3]

Update: Even if the bots enters in the HCL command of 'n', the red player can still utilize the -XvX command. So, that is no longer a worry.
Update 2: I updated the HCL library per some comments in another thread and after some testing, it seems to have fixed the issue with red having units with fewer hit points.

@khspww94 The map already has a way for XvX mode. It is just a map command that needs to be entered at game start by red. If the bot allows for vote start, then the players in the lobby can choose how teams should be arranged and all that jazz and once the game starts, red just needs to use the command and it will work.

[RaptorXI]

Votestart for 2-6 players in the lobby (each team needs at least 1 player)?
And only red types the XvX mode to prevent the game from crashing (or someone update the map )?

[XGDeath3]

Further update: At this time, even version 2.33 should not allow -XvX hosting. In the event that any player that isn't red enters the command, the game will desync immediately. Until I can learn this code and solve the issue, it would be better to hold this suggestion in waiting.
