This blog post describes what&#8217;s changed.<\/p>\n<h1>Twitch.tv integration<\/h1>\n<p>Whenever someone is streaming WarLight on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitch.tv\">twitch.tv<\/a>, a link to their stream will automatically be advertised at the top of WarLight&#8217;s website (just to the right of the Help button.)  If you see a stream advertised here, drop on in and say hi!<\/p>\n<p>To kick off the feature, I will be doing an AMA (ask-me-anything) stream where I field your questions.  After that, TheWarLightMaster is hosting a live-streamed tournament.  <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in streaming WarLight on Twitch and want your stream advertised here, just make sure you enter the game exactly as &#8220;WarLight&#8221; and also make sure that the &#8220;Inappropriate for younger audiences&#8221; check-box is not checked.  (Edit: For now, also add &#8221; &#8211; WarLight&#8221; to the end of your stream name.  Twitch&#8217;s search seems a little finicky. This requirement should be removed in a future update.)  It should appear within a few minutes.<\/p>\n<h1>History Overhaul<\/h1>\n<p>The UI behind the History feature has been overhauled!  When viewing history, the UI now is embedded in the left side of the screen instead of in a pop-up window so that it never obscures the map.  <\/p>\n<p>It also now selects all orders by default so you can more easily see what occurred on a turn.  This makes it easier to click through a game and see what occurred at a glance rather than clicking through orders individually.<\/p>\n<p>When viewing the history of a finished game with fog, you can now view the game from a fogged perspective of a single player.  Simply select a player&#8217;s name from the list, and you&#8217;ll see only the territories they could see at that point in the game.<\/p>\n<p>When playing history, orders are now concealed until they are played much like they are when watching a new turn.  This helps avoid spoilers from appearing in the orders list during live-streams.<\/p>\n<h1>Recent Games Page<\/h1>\n<p>The new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.warlight.net\/RecentGames\">Recent Games page<\/a>, located under the Community tab, lets members see games by any players that were completed in the last 24 hours.  One goal of this page is for live-streamers that want to look for interesting games to find and review.<\/p>\n<p>The page has an algorithm to try and rank how interesting games are.  For example, it ranks games with high ladder ranks more highly than games without, coin\/tournament\/ladder games higher, and lottery games lower.<\/p>\n<h1>In-progress real-time games now always show up in the My Games section<\/h1>\n<p>If you change your My Games filter away from the default, you may notice that in-progress real-time games always show up, even if they don&#8217;t match the filter.  This should help players who play a mix of multi-day and real-time games, as it makes it easier to find the real-time games you&#8217;re in without having to switch back to the default filter.<\/p>\n<h1>Other Changes<\/h1>\n<p> &#8211; The Past Games page now sorts by the date the game ended.<br \/>\n &#8211; Your templates are now sorted by how recently you used them to create a multi-player game.<br \/>\n &#8211; The ability to override bonuses has been moved to a high level, and some level rewards were re-arranged to make room for it.<br \/>\n &#8211; The bomb card now shows a faded &#8220;Bomb&#8221; over the territory, like the abandon and blockade cards do.<br \/>\n &#8211; Ads are automatically disabled when purchasing a membership instead of requiring users to uncheck a box.<br \/>\n &#8211; Live-streamers can now create open tournaments for free for the use of live-streaming.
