Suggestions to be Implemented to AtWar [2.0][2019]

This is a list of suggestions collected by The Tactician and revised and updated by Tunder3. I took the liberty to arrange the ideas by groups representing a general theme, this makes them easier to read and to add new ideas.

Quality-of-Life Ideas

• [1] ''Reset Moves'' button: this would help so much rather than refreshing because it would save time especially for people with bad connections.
  
• [2] Casual Turn 0 for only picking countries: This would make creating and joining casual games so more convenient.
  
• [3] Make an option to select units by 5: We are used to it and in several situations its much more convenient.
  
• [4] Be able to see spectators: People want to see who's viewing their games!
  
• [5] Showing who hosts a new game: Would be good to know who's hosting and if you're banlisted in their game.
  
• [6] Auto global when CW starts: This would be great if you want to watch CWs and don't know its being played. This also makes the game more attractive to new players.
  
• [7] Ping: This would be an option for players' game to make a noise when players they set PR them. This would be good for getting called to CWs or important messages.
  
• [8]Not counting t1 leaving in duels: This function is useless and only allows the unjust taking of elo from DCs/bad connection.
  
• [9] ''do not open target city info-window when reaching with attacking units'': Please its very annoying. Just adds turns time and creates many mistakes.
  
• [10] Distinguish family members (or anyone on same IP) as non-alts: This would be very nice for players to not be accused of alts.
  
• [11] Right click ability: This would open up gameplay a lot with faster speeds and more efficient moves. It was proposed to have the right click cancel moves instead of hovering over something else.
  
• [12] List of moves with delete/reorder option:This would make prioritizing and ordering your moves much smoother.

Ideas for Protocoins

• [1] More PC drops: If this is added to competitive games such as 5k FFAs and 3v3s it would encourage competitive gameplay as well as making it more fun.
  
• [2] Sending protocoins: With a way to prevent farming, of course.
  

---

Better UI

• [1]Chat in ally chat before the game starts: This would make it easier to plan team games beforehand especially if the players aren't in the same clan.
  
• [2] Watching the battle report mid turn: This would be a huge help for those who skip/want to know opponents strategy.
  
• [3]Different colors for PM'ing different people: This would make chatting easier, SS cooler, less probability of WC, and wouldn't be too hard to implement.
  
• [4]Smaller tab where you can see players in lobby: Would look better and be less messy on-screen.
  
• [5]Remove message command: Would be nice to have this (restricted) feature to remove your own message in the case of wrong chats and such.
  
• [6]Crossing out player name instead of removing in a game: This would be cool to know who played before and as what country. Maybe move their name to the bottom of the list.
  
• [7]''do not "/pr <player_name>" in chat bar when clicking on player (could be to check status not pr)'': This would be much more convenient because when you just want to look on someone's profile you don't need to erase the /pr playername.
  
• [8]Group private chat: This would a great feature for bringing people with common interests together (without having to leave their clans, SM4lyfe) and would make the game more attractive to log on to again.
  
• [9]Elo peak on profile: It would be pretty cool to see a player's elo peak especially for those who used to duel actively.
  
• [10]Auto picking colors: This would be nice to know once you join your favorite color is picked, and as an addition:

  Since we're talking about making this premium..Instead of just colors.. skins would be pretty sweet, like patterns or something that only you can have. Would make it a bit more personal than just yellow, or red or w/e color you use.

More Game Options

• [1]More winning conditions: It would be nice to add some spice (yes, it rhythms) and diversity to the game. Someone suggested kill the general before. I think a first to reach x units would be interesting, or maybe capture x enemy cities.
  
• [2]Inability to go through walls while at peace with a player: This would lessen backstabbing a lot.
  
• [3]Sea stations that can only make naval units: Would make navy more important and add more depth to gameplay.
  
• [4]Day and night cycles: This would make a cool feature with darkening/lightening the globe and maybe adding special night troops.
  
• [5]Better tutorial: Give new players more in depth understanding of walls, strategies, and the TB system. Perhaps auto direct them to the FAQ pages.
  
• [6]Custom save-able settings: This would work by having a 'save settings' option and several (5?) slots that you can save and settings and use them. Perhaps add 5 more slots with prem
  
• [7]Total fog of war: A new game option that would add more realism to the game.
  
• [8]Game option to remove critical hits: This would lessen the luck factor in gameplay and would make it more challenging and lessen OP rolls.
  
• [9]Minimum damage or stabilizing rolls: Giving min. damage to units or stabilizing rolls more would be noticeable helpful and make the game more fun
  
• [10]Dynamic time (eg: t1 3 min, t2 3 min, t3 3 min, t4 3 min, t5 5 min, t6 4 min): This would be great for late games and reinforcement weeks. No voting needed and very efficient.
  
• [11]More default map options: Far east Asia, Caribbean, Mid-South Africa, etc. This would make gameplay a little more interesting with more options to be played.
  
• [12]Real-time gameplay:This would be a whole other dimension to the game, move by move turns like chess. You have 4 minutes which pauses when you finish your move, then opponent does theirs etc
  
• [13]Simple option: you join you get a random country from a predetermined list (so you wouldn't get Fiji)

Ideas for Coalitions (Not Gameplay Related)





• [1] Training clan connections/Alliances: Most training clans have failed because of that split, a common forum/chat would make the process a whole lot easier. Or a common alliance where several clans get together in a common alliance chat/forum and CWs against each other don't count. Same concept.
  
• [2]New member ranks in clans: More options than officer and leader. Maybe make leaders set certain permissions to members of the clan (promotion/demotion, forum editing/deleting, starting wars).
  
• [3] Several founders of the clan not just the creator: Sometimes several players come together to make a clan! (We could have the founder be the one who paid for the clan and co-founders for the two people to join the clan after the founder)
  
• [4]Clan trophies: This would make clans have more to play for, and achievements such as coming first 5 times can be rewarded.
  

---

Competitive Play Ideas

• [1]Strategy nerf/boost forum: A lot of people have great (or not so) ideas for strategies but there is no dedicated place to discuss it!
  
• [2]Rated Team Games: This would add an incentive to play public team games, and would take competitiveness even further.
  
• [3]CWs start with 2 players: 2v2 CW'ing is a thing ya know.
  
• [4]Elo limits in duels: For players to not fight for 0.1 elo (1200+). I also think there should be a negative 100 limit to avoid elosim. We already have enough rankism to deal with.
  
• [5]Set upgrades for duels: This would encourage low ranks to go against higher ranks and would bring more activity to the duel scene.
  
• [6]Make HW cheaper: Its soooooo over-valued with SP and has some potential as a 3-20k sp strat. This will make the process of finding good combos for it faster because more people will be trying it
  
• [7]Switch countries with teammate after picks: This would be useful for getting strong players in strong countries (cws).
  
• [8]Show duel record PvP: This would be great for seeing who won more etc.
  

---

Forum ideas

• [1]Separate radio/atn forum: they are two different entities deserving two different forums.
  
• [2]More options to poll/several polls in one thread: This would be a very nice feature to add in forum and would make for more in-depth threads.
  
• [3]Thread collaboration/allowing other players to edit an OP: This would be great for collaborative efforts and threads that need to build over time.
  
• [4]Sort playerlist by upvotes: Would be cool to see who has most upvotes.
  
• [5]Online/last seen status on every forum post: Like "online" or 3hours ago". Every profil has this information, so all posts should include this too.

Map Editor/Scenario Ideas

Link to: 2019 List of Popular Ideas for the Map editor

Shit, this is gonna make Dave work his ass off D i like it

Tarafından yazıldı Tundy, 10.01.2019 at 20:24

Add to the list:
- Dueling only allowed in Main Lobby. No dueling in Beginners Lobby. (Prevents farming)
- Remove regular elo from the game. Stick only to seasonal elo. (Compliments the elo peak feature suggested above, prevents elo camping and encourages more duels)
- Game is automatically on hold. You don't have to press the button first to hold it, and press it again to start the game (Prevents accidentally starting the game)
- [UP FOR DEBATE] Add Counter Insurgency as a new strategy to the game https://atwar-game.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=39856 (Could still be modified to be a more appropriate fit for the current meta)

Gogogogoggogogogogogo dave

Awesome, thanks for updating this! I'm pinning yours in place of mine, though I'd recommend changing the name to Suggestions to be Implemented to AtWar [2.0] so new players understand what this thread is about!

PS: still looking forward to rated team games

I have another idea (ping was mine too)

How about a game mode where you can change strat?!?!?!? Keep your opponent guessing, but i feel like this would be best only if botb could do it simultaneously.

Say evety 4 turns or so...

This ia very blue sky...

More Game Option : Better FFA ( Battle Royale )

Once a game start all player are Incognito, after leaving the game lobby ( waiting period ). Private chat are diable until game are decided whether you win or until you lose by getting caped or elminated. This will make FFA better.

I think pretty much all of these ideas are worthwhile, but these in particular have my vote for high priority:

QofL: #1-#3 & #12 (#2 )
UI: #6 & #7
More Game Options: #1-#5, #11 & #13 (#2: the moving-through-walls-while-at-peace was already fixed, right )
Competitive Play Ideas: #1, #3 & #6-#8

Thanks in advance for listening, Chief!!

Dave after reading: what the fuck I just bought

'More than one clan founder'

This would be nice years back... when 1 clan equal 1 family (Dalmati, BiteMe, Warborn Legion, SRB Empire) (no clanhopping back then, clan meant something). God i miss the past.

Nice changes, map maker changes nice also good to include what we've been wanting for awhile lol.

I think the:
"[2]Inability to go through walls while at peace with a player: This would lessen backstabbing a lot." Has already been implemented. I Still found a nub who was alied to me and got into my triangle walls to backstab me. Also:
"[7]''do not "/pr <player_name>" in chat bar when clicking on player (could be to check status not pr)'': This would be much more convenient because when you just want to look on someone's profile you don't need to erase the /pr playername." I think it is programed to go away if you click on the same tab outside the chat but it doesn't works well.
I Won't point out the suggestions I don't like.

Thumbs up.

Pay 10K at the beginning to have your username & rank incognito ?

The incognito mode for ranks 3-5 would be nice to prevent rankism and allow new players to actually play something.

Just saying people aren't gonna let people they don't know/trust play still. If they want to be able to play games then people should host open games like world ffa maps, anything that's not team-based because most rankism comes into play when it's a team game as one person can be a determining factor in a team game

everyone would know that the incognito accs are low rank..........

Is any of this implemented already?

Add daily, weekly and monthly rewards.

My suggestion was actually implemented in a homepage design: (the idea is to add rewards, design is just inspiration I already put in during homepage contest)

this looks like it would be good for the app if the developers ever get to it

Daily missions and rewards have been discussed actually, i love that idea and i'd love to see it actually implemented

Under the 'Ideas for Coalitions (Not Gameplay Related)' section, I definitely like the idea of having more options than just Leader and Officer. Much too restrictive especially for the larger coalitions like mine. I also like the idea of being able to set permissions for individual coalition members. As a Founding Leader I don't always want every one of my Leaders or Officers to all have the same permissions. This is particularly true when it comes to removing (kicking) members. Here is a link to a forum topic that outlines some of my ideas:

[2] Casual Turn 0 for only picking countries: This would make creating and joining casual games so more convenient.

Has there been any progress on this idea? It's only been a suggestion for about 6 years.
