I tried last night to g and u back and forth and like I said, only one hotkey works at a time. It's either g or u but you can't use both back and forth. This gets really frustrating when dealing with multiple units that you are trying to get to do different things, especially when one or a few units are on a suicide raid and you are simply trying to turn them around but you can't because the icon is toggled to ungarrison and the g hot key does not work.

I have this problem too.. but its not really problematic. Just reclick/ctrl+(number of unit)/Defend/Attack button. And there. Micro.

Holy Crap. I didn't know there was actually a hotkey for controlling units. I thought there was only a hot key for creating. My next suggestion was going to be hotkeys for unit control.

what do you mean? what did you have in mind aside from g-garrison h-hold c-cancel s-stand spacebar-group selection

I was just unaware that I could press ctrl and the unit number to select and control those units so that was going to be my next suggestion. With that said, I would like to see those hotkeys changed to a single key rather than a combination that you have to stretch to make. That is the kind of hotkey that you are going to be using in the heat of a battle while creating units can be done anytime. It is quite clumsy trying to hold ctrl and find the right number while you are battling. I'm going to find a way to pin the ctrl key down. Hopefully this won't affect the other hotkeys.

just a little suggestion: You know this eergy sword from halo? Well, as you maybe already noticed, you fight with this halo sword different than the other weapons the swordwrath use...so I thought we could bring this sword in:





(so just added a grip)

Lol I want Hal's Rifle from Fable 2 as a bow ;p

Maybe just... add more servers so that other country's connection to SE wouldn't be so bad.

the think is SE hasnt really got much players :/

Hey, I don't like winning games simply due to opponents lagging out, especially when there is no clear winner. Can you figure out a way to ask if you want a forfeit from the lagger or just a draw. That way, in cases when you are clearly winning you can take the win but when the game is even or you are losing, you can at least call it a draw. Sometimes if I'm clearly losing and the other player is about to lag out, I will forfeit but due to the lag it doesn't always take and I still get the win.

the problem with that is that then lag can be used as a tool to not lose any rating. Othrr player is bashing down statue? open 10 tabs, add some lag, hit draw, no rating lost.

The lagger would not be given the option. It would just be a gentleman's option given to the player who would be given a win simply due to lag.

What do you mean 'would not be given an option'? There was none to begin with. It's just like Jerrytt said; when losing, open 10 tabs, force lag-out.

Again, it would be solely in the hands of the player who did not lag out. If the person that was not lagging feels he was winning, then he chooses force forfeit for the offending player or he can choose draw if he doesn't think he deserves a win for that game. The lagger has no input in the matter. So if the person who is loosing lags out, he doesn't get to pick forfeit or draw. An example of this can be found on online cardgames where people are dropped or lag out, the other players at the table are asked if they want a force forfeit. Only one player at the table needs to choose force forfeit and it's a forfeit. The lagger is at the mercy of the person still in the game.

Like I said, this is purely a gentleman's gesture. I sense some degree of hostility in the lobby although I find quite a few games to be friendly. This would be a way to promote good sportsmanship in the lobby. Think of it as a way to honor your opponent just as samurai or Klingons did. Everything doesn't have to be so cutthroat just because a few aggros and exploiters have everybody on edge.

This would go a long way in alleviating the stress and annoyance for those whos ratings are hurt because they legitimately lag out. Nothing can be more frustrating than fighting and almost winning a tense battle but then lagging out and having to take a loss to a player who shouldn't be given the win. At least there is the opportunity that the player, who shouldn't have won, to call it a draw. I bet at the most 50 percent would pick the gentleman's option and more likely as little as 25 percent, but at least there would be that much more love spread around, and it would give the true sportsmans an opportunity to show it.

You're not understanding what he is asking. Try, Re-reading it.
And I will bring the subject up, but I doubt it will be done. Most people would just vote for the free points, so there would be very little point.

Another useful similar option would be a request for draw. One player can initiate the request and the other player can either accept or decline. If the other player declines, then the game continues. The only way this could be exploited is if the looser keeps requesting just to be annoying but there are ways around that. You could limit the requests to two or three.

This would be extremely useful for players who are stuck in a super laggy game but keep playing so as to not take a loss. Both players would be more than happy to take a draw just to get out of the laggy game. It would also offer an option for those who suddenly need to leave a game and don't want an extended pause.
