Topic: Kongregate Multiplayer Games / [HexWars] Replacement for Battalion: Arena?

I came here for a replacement for the abandonded Battalion: Arena game.

This is similar but I don’t like the game flow and the 80’s atari feel to the game.

Okay, to clear up some confusion, there is no limit whatsoever.

I fear as if I’m being greatly repetitive and uninformative, maybe I shouldn’t forum at 4AM. :p

Yes, there very clearly is a limit on the number of connections allowed. Stop acting like you know more than others, you clearly don’t.

Topic: Battalion: Arena / I wish the map management was better

Because some of you make really good maps. There is a lot of crap out there too. I just wish there was a “favorites” or some otherway to mark maps because I tend to forget them once the fall out of most recent or top rated.

Just as an FYI I almost always play with AI and I think heavily scripted maps that divert from the game is stupid. That’s just me though.

I also tend to like 2v1 or 3v1 maps. I notice map makers have a tendency to make the maps too big/spread out so you go 3-5 turns without being in position to attack. that is boring.

Topic: Battalion: Arena / The 3rd rock

Having two screen names is lame and childish.

Topic: Battalion: Arena / I love the additon of ads on each reload!

It really helps speed up the time to connect to this game.

Super efficient! Even better when you can’t close the ads and they have to run their full 30 seconds…

Topic: Battalion: Arena / global war maps

stop gaming the system to get your terrible maps ranked high. You can’t play them with the AI and the dialogs are unbearable.

So many funny things in this post…
What office? What management?
This was one guy’s school project and now he has moved on to the business world and is too busy developing crappy facebook games like farmville to cater to us anymore.

And why do you mention firewall? No need to turn yours off…

He is busy working on farmville and the other facebook games.

The game is still working even though the server went down.

This has happened in the past.

How is the game still working? The server is down and the game doesn’t load. That is hardly “working”.

It’s like you have no idea what you are talking about…

Topic: Battalion: Arena / Game finally dead?

Server has been unavailable for over 24 hours now.

I think we might have finally seen the death of this game.

I wouldn’t discredit a map for this.

That has been my entire point though. I am discrediting maps for bad dialog. It is all part of the experience. If your map needs to be explained then it should be explained concisely.

Topic: Battalion: Arena / Battalion Freedom

Urban squall is hard at work developing facebook apps at his job. I don’t think he’ll be doing much for free anymore…

Topic: Battalion: Arena / Winds Of War

Seems a bit too spread out for me. Typically will become a sea/air battle, which is fine but there is only a little land to really mount any other kind of attack.

There is some “wasted” space in the map that goes unused.

You do get a bit of a bottleneck with the bridges but I think that is a good strategic hurdle that was put in.
Maybe some initial units can help spice this up too? Something about the maps seems a bit bland.

so that next time you may simply the dialog feature off.

Honestly, I can’t be bothered with turning the dialog on and off so many times. The dialogs are (especially in this case) being over used. That is the larger point.

Originally posted by Navort:

Ever occured to you you could make a full thread talking about all the maps instead of spamming threads for each map you like or you dislike? Bottomline who asked you? lol

Because those threads get long and complicated.
I’ve seen an issue about the maps being put on here and since I have been playing so long I figured I would offer my opinion to the creators.

If you don’t care about my opinion, feel free to ignore my posts.

My hope is that my constructive criticism of some maps that I like (or hate) will lead to improvements in those maps and future maps.

Topic: Battalion: Arena / "Gridlock" map

I’m liking this map so far. I like the use of forced teams, although I think 1 dialog is sufficient maybe 2 (1 for each team). But that is a nit pick.

It is a good 2v2 map. Looks well thought out. Has a good balance of resources and factories.

Games might tend to run a bit long but the couple of times I’ve played it hasn’t been too far into Sudden Death.

Fun even against AI.

Topic: Battalion: Arena / Who makes "Global War"

I’ve mentioned before, I don’t turn off dialog because sometimes there are things I need to know about from the dialogs. If I turn it off because people are abusing it then I will get a map that has a unique feature and I will know nothing about it.

Topic: Battalion: Arena / "Taking Sides" map

It also seems prone to long games. Might be a bit too tough. Not sure what can be done about that. I’ll need to think about it.

I still like it though.

Topic: Battalion: Arena / "Taking Sides" map

I like this map. One flaw though is the forest under the blockade makes it impossible for rockets to move out of the “base” which can stale the game. Or at least the time I played.

Good concept though, I enjoyed it. I think this one change might make it very good.
