The results from the recent vote<\/a> are in! The vote was about whether or not the 1v1 ladder should start players with 5 armies on each of their territories or 4.<\/p>\n

– ~14% voted to keep the ladder the way it is
\n – ~75% voted to change the armies from 5 to 4
\n – ~10% voted that they didn’t care.<\/p>\n

75% versus 14% is pretty overwhelming, so the measure passes! As is convention, all changes to ladder settings are announced on the blog at least a week before they take effect, so this change will be included in the upcoming release 1.07.1 hopefully next week.<\/p>\n

This change may seem minor, as it’s only a 3 army difference, but it’s important as it makes it more difficult to capture bonuses on the very first turn. I’m confident this will be a good change going forward. But beware: any time there’s a change in the settings it’s important to remember it requires an adjustment in strategy. Some of the early-game strategies you’re used to may not work like they did before.<\/p>\n

This will only affect games that start after 1.07.1 is live. Since this is a change to the Strategic 1 v 1 template, this will also affect the 1v1 auto games. If this bothers you, remember you can always easily create your own 1v1 games using the old settings.<\/p>\n

It’s a good idea to get some practice in before your first ladder game with the new settings! You can use these templates: Multi-player<\/a> \/ single-player<\/a>. <\/p>\n

There will be another poll soon about changing this in the 2v2 ladder. Stay tuned to the forum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
