Feature request: Optional CM and NCM preview

@stancollins

You just click the link, no need to install anything, you can use it as a site. You’ll need to register there ofc.

As for screenshots, I just Shift + Win key + S to take a screenshot of what I need and then save it in Paint 3D.

@djensen I’m only on round 2 so it is hard to say if they are good or not, but so far every play from them seems fine. Yes I am aware that developing an AI capable of playing a complex game like A&A is rather difficult.

I have watched very advanced players on YouTube, so I am aware they can play really fast, especially the first turn. However, this is something else. In a matter of seconds, all purchases, combat moves, combats and non-combat moves are resolved, like max 15 seconds.

If it is not an AI playing, my second guess is that I am not able to watch them play live and what I see is a short playback of everything they made during the turn. I don’t know why that would happen though. I was still connected to the game because the other player was online, so I wanted to play live.

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog Understood, thank you for looking!

All done now!

@PGsquig I don’t recall exactly why, but I found a reason to actually do it on purpose. The land wasn’t safe and I needed the air power to project east.

@djensen heh heh :)

yea picking battles can be important. Especially for the really good players. I almost always just power through though. Speaking of A&A games in general

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog Thank you for doing the analysis. My curiosity has been answered and it just turns out that my observations were simply anecdotal and coincidental.

Please pass along my thanks to the team for taking the time to do the analysis. I think a future request will be for low-luck style rolling. :wink:

@Striker I like Global the best, possibly among all wargames. But 42.2 has a faster, chesslike appeal.

I try to play 5 games at once and very quickly, which improves my skills but also leaves plenty of room for me to make mistakes…like speed chess at the renfest where 1 member of the KC chess club takes on 15 all-comers at one time, one move after the next then back to the first game…
