Default Re: Time for a poll. (The subject is abuse)

Edi, I agree what you wrote in your last post. Do you have a handy list of major bugs, that cause the game to behave in ways unintended by the devs. Then in the games that I admin i can simply provide a link to it, and say not to take advantange of any of the bugs in the list. Every game admin should do the same, but of course it is up to them.

I want to play games of Dominions, which involves troops. summons, magic, and forging, to out strat your opponent. I do not want to play games of, "take advantage of the current implementation of the dominion program".

- If that move and patrol bug was allowed to be used, people could simple make certain that all their castles are three spaces apart.Then by using the right commander they can move all their troops that distance regardless of the units stats. This would make map move stats, and the various survival skills almost obsolete.
-If the item spamming was allowed, it would have the potential of destroying the item forging part of the game, which for me is the funnest part.
-If the Mists Of Deception was allowed to be used it would make most of the other spells obsolete, and make only a small set of tactics viable in the game.

Strategies like Arcane Nexus, and clamming are game unbalancing (to a lesser extent), but they are also clearly in the dominion rules. Those three items that I mentioned earlier are clearly against the dominion rules. I would like a handy list of these game breaking bugs, so that i can reference them in the games that I admin. Its up to other admins if they want to do the same thing or not, but it is my opinion that most admins should.
