Validate invite token API

2016-09-02T21:33:00Z

54.167.11.21: Add vacation info on API

If you're creating a system that invites players to WarLight games via the [[Create game API]], you may wish to validate whether or not an invite token or e-mail address is valid before you attempt to invite them to a game.

Of course, if you invite a player to a game with their token, the [[Create game API]] will inform you that it's invalid. But you may wish to determine whether or not it's valid before attempting to create a game, such as when a new player signs up on your site.

You can do this by calling the following API: https://www.warlight.net/API/ValidateInviteToken?Token=12345678

To call this programmatically, you can POST your e-mail address and API token to this page in the format Email=your@email.com&APIToken=yourapitoken You can get your API token from the [[Get API Token API]].

This will return the following fields about the player whose token you provided:

* tokenIsValid: This simply tells you that the token does belong to a WarLight player.
* name: The player's WarLight nickname.
* isMember: True if the player has purchased a WarLight membership.
* level: Their current level.
* color: The player's preferred WarLight color.
* tagLine: The tagline the player has set up to display on their profile page.
* clotpass: See [[CLOT Authentication]]
* createPlayerLimit: The maximum game size that they can create.
* lowestUsableLuckModifier: The lowest setting they can specify for the [[luck modifier]] when creating games.
* levelForMapUsage: The level the system considers them when determining what maps they can use. If their level is 5, but their levelForMapUsage is 10, they can use maps that unlock at 6-10, even though their level isn't techincally high enough.
* featuresUnlocked: What features they've unlocked, either from leveling up or purchasing a membership.
* onVacationUntil: Expiration date of current vacation.

== Template IDs ==

Optionally, you can also provide a list of Template IDs to this API. The API will check if the player has access to be a part of games created by the [[Create game API]] using this template.

This is helpful if you plan to invite them to a game via the API and you don't want to manually check their featuresUnlocked parameter against the features you know that your template uses.

To use this, provide a parameter named TemplateIDs (either via the query string or POST param) which contains a comma-delimited list of template IDs. You may pass up to 20 template IDs per call.

An example request would look like https://www.warlight.net/API/ValidateInviteToken?Token=12345678&TemplateIDs=342040,342041,342042,342043

The API will return results for each template ID provided in the returned JSON. Each template will return a "result" node that contains the string "CanUseTemplate", "CannotUseTemplate", or another string if an error occurred. If "CannotUseTemplate" is returned, there will be an additional node named "reasonCode" that explains why the player was unable to use the template.

An example return looks like this:

"template342040": {
"result": "CanUseTemplate"
},
"template342041": {
"result": "CannotUseTemplate",
"reasonCode": "MapLocked"
},
"template342042": {
"result": "CannotUseTemplate",
"reasonCode": "AttackOnlyTransferOnlyLocked"
},
"template342043": {
"result": "error: template not found"
}

Statistics Window

2016-08-22T21:50:39Z

54.167.11.21: typo in the intro

The statistics window shows you a variety of interesting information about the game. It's divided into three sections: Graphs, relations between players, and player statistics.

The statistics window can't see anything that you couldn't tell from digging through the history. This means it can't see through the fog of on-going games or anything like that - it's just used to more easily collect the data that's already available to you.

==Graphs==

The graphs allow you to see information about a game in graphical form.

https://d2wcw7vp66n8b3.cloudfront.net/static/img/GraphsHelp.png

You can view the following metrics on the graph:
* The number of armies on the map.
* The number of territories held by each player.
* The base number of armies each player receives per turn.
* The actual number of armies each player deployed each turn.
* The cumulative offensive luck value for each player.
* The cumulative defensive luck value for each player.
* The cumulative luck value (offensive + defensive) for each player.

==Relations between Players==

The "relations" tab shows how much each player has fought with other players. It’s great for determining who has been fighting who.

http://warlight.net/Images/RelationsHelp.png

It can be switched between the following metrics:
* The number of A's armies killed in fights between player A and B.
* The number of A's armies killed in A's attacks against B.
* The number of B's armies killed in A's attacks against B.
* The number of armies that A defended with against B's attacks.
* The number of armies that A attacked with against B.
* If you hover your mouse over a cell, WarLight will show you a description of what that cell represents.

==Player statistics==

The player stats tab shows a variety of statistics about each player.

http://warlight.net/Images/PlayerStatsHelp.png

It shows the following metrics:
* Total number of orders issued.
* Total number of attacks issued.
* Total number of deployments issued.
* Total number of cards played.
* Total number of cards received.
* Total number of cards discarded.
* Total number of transfers.
* Total number of successful attacks. (territory captures)
* Total number of failed attacks.
* Total number of armies attacked with.
* Total number of armies lost by attacking.
* Total number of armies killed by attacking. (defending armies killed)
* Total number of armies transfers.
* Total number of armies deployed.
* Total number of times attacked.
* Total number of armies that attacked this player.
* Total number of armies killed while defending. (attacking armies killed)
* Total number of armies lost while defending.

==Luck Values==

It's important to understand what the luck numbers represent before drawing conclusions based on them.

Here's an example: If you attack with 10 armies, it's expected that you will kill 6 armies. If you kill 7, your luck for that attack will be +1. In other words, you killed exactly one army more than you were supposed to. You can view the luck number for any attack by hovering over it in the Turn Actions panel when viewing history.

"Offensive" luck simply means the sum of the luck for all attacks you issued. "Defensive" luck simply means the sum of the luck for all attacks another player issued against your armies. Your total "luck" is simply your offensive luck plus your defensive luck.

So if you see a luck of +50, it means that player has 50 more armies than they "should" have had at that point in the game. Similarly, a luck of -15 means that the player has 15 fewer armies than they would have had if luck was not involved.

If you wish to reduce the amount that luck affects the game, you can always do so by using the [[luck modifier]].

Achievements

54.167.11.21: added pts for 1v1 coin game

An '''achievement''' in WarLight is a task or accomplishment that players can unlock. Players can earn achievements for doing various things throughout the game.

Achievements also award [[points]]. Achievements award points based on their difficulty – the more difficult the achievement, the more points you'll get for unlocking it.

All achievements earned are displayed on player's profiles.

There are no achievements that require a [[membership]] to get, so free players can still complete every achievement if they desire to.

== Achievement List ==
The full list of achievements has not yet been revealed! The main way to discover what achievements exist is by stumbling into them or checking other player's profiles.

You can also see some achievements you haven't earned yet by visiting your profile and looking at the achievements list. However, this will only show you a maximum of 10 achievements that you haven't earned. Once you unlock one of those, you can see another in its place. If this section contains fewer than 10, then you know it's showing all remaining achievements.

The list below is a work in progress, please feel free to add to it.

All game-related achievements may only be earned in ranked multi-player games unless otherwise noted.

== Trophies ==
Achievements are considered things that any player could just go out and do. Trophies, on the other hand, are for tasks that are rare, very difficult, or special in some way. For example, there’s a trophy for achieving rank #1 on the [[1 v 1 Ladder|1v1 Ladder]], and another for playing WarLight while it was beta. Trophies are intended to be rare, and most players will probably never get one.

Unlike achievements, trophies don’t actually award points themselves, but they’re displayed prominently on player’s profiles. (Ranking #1 on the 1v1 Ladder would award plenty of points from the ladder, just not from the trophy itself.)

== Trophies ==
Achievements are considered things that any player could just go out and do. Trophies, on the other hand, are for tasks that are rare, very difficult, or special in some way. For example, there’s a trophy for achieving rank #1 on the [[1 v 1 Ladder|1v1 Ladder]], and another for playing WarLight while it was beta. Trophies are intended to be rare, and most players will probably never get one.

Unlike achievements, trophies don’t actually award points themselves, but they’re displayed prominently on player’s profiles. (Ranking #1 on the 1v1 Ladder would award plenty of points from the ladder, just not from the trophy itself.)

54.167.11.21: /* Achievement List */

An '''achievement''' in WarLight is a task or accomplishment that players can unlock. Players can earn achievements for doing various things throughout the game.

Achievements also award [[points]]. Achievements award points based on their difficulty – the more difficult the achievement, the more points you'll get for unlocking it.

All achievements earned are displayed on player's profiles.

There are no achievements that require a [[membership]] to get, so free players can still complete every achievement if they desire to.

== Achievement List ==
The full list of achievements has not yet been revealed! The main way to discover what achievements exist is by stumbling into them or checking other player's profiles.

You can also see some achievements you haven't earned yet by visiting your profile and looking at the achievements list. However, this will only show you a maximum of 10 achievements that you haven't earned. Once you unlock one of those, you can see another in its place. If this section contains fewer than 10, then you know it's showing all remaining achievements.

The list below is a work in progress, please feel free to add to it.

All game-related achievements may only be earned in ranked multi-player games unless otherwise noted.

== Trophies ==
Achievements are considered things that any player could just go out and do. Trophies, on the other hand, are for tasks that are rare, very difficult, or special in some way. For example, there’s a trophy for achieving rank #1 on the [[1 v 1 Ladder|1v1 Ladder]], and another for playing WarLight while it was beta. Trophies are intended to be rare, and most players will probably never get one.

Unlike achievements, trophies don’t actually award points themselves, but they’re displayed prominently on player’s profiles. (Ranking #1 on the 1v1 Ladder would award plenty of points from the ladder, just not from the trophy itself.)

Territories

2016-03-19T17:40:31Z

54.167.11.21:

'''Territories''' are the basic building blocks of WarLight. Each territory is always controlled by a player or [[neutral]].

[[Bonuses]] are made up of a collection of territories.

At the start of a game, every player gets a number of territories that is set up in the settings.

Territories are the key for winning a game. The more territories you have, you'll get more bonus armies which can help you to occupy your enemy. However, if you lose all your territories, you will be eliminated from the game.

When we play, we can see many colored territories. Grey territories belong to neutrals, colored belong to players (or AI's) and territories on which we can't see number of armies are fogged. They can be neutral's or player's territory.

The map with the biggest number of territories is [[Hex Earth| Hex Earth]] map, having 3200 territories and 174 [[bonus]]es. The big map of Poland has 2.5 thousand territories. However, the map with the smallest number of territories is the Duel map, having only 2 territories. It shows a pirate and a ninja dueling.

Achievements

2016-03-10T03:07:35Z

54.167.11.21: added pts for two platforms

An '''achievement''' in WarLight is a task or accomplishment that players can unlock. Players can earn achievements for doing various things throughout the game.

Achievements also award [[points]]. Achievements award points based on their difficulty – the more difficult the achievement, the more points you'll get for unlocking it.

All achievements earned are displayed on player's profiles.

There are no achievements that require a [[membership]] to get, so free players can still complete every achievement if they desire to.

== Achievement List ==
The full list of achievements has not yet been revealed! The main way to discover what achievements exist is by stumbling into them or checking other player's profiles.

You can also see some achievements you haven't earned yet by visiting your profile and looking at the achievements list. However, this will only show you a maximum of 10 achievements that you haven't earned. Once you unlock one of those, you can see another in its place. If this section contains fewer than 10, then you know it's showing all remaining achievements.

The list below is a work in progress, please feel free to add to it.

All game-related achievements may only be earned in ranked multi-player games unless otherwise noted.

Turn phases

2016-02-28T05:46:32Z

54.167.11.21: /* Phases */ order priority/delay

A WarLight turn goes through several phases. The two most familiar phases are the deploy phase and the attack/transfer phase as these are the two phases that players directly walk through when playing the game. However, there are more phases for handling cards and special events.

==Details==

Every WarLight order is restricted to a single phase. For example, army deployments can only happen during the deploy phase and attack/transfer orders can only happen during the attack/transfer phase.

The sequence of the phases is fixed. This is why an attack can never happen before a deployment - the deploy phase happens before the attack/transfer phase.

It's possible for different types of orders to share the same phase. For example, both the [[Order Delay Card]] and attack/transfer orders happen during the attack/transfer phase. This means that it's possible to have attacks both before and after an [[Order Delay Card]].

Most of the time, players don't need to understand the intricate details of the phases because the [[orders list]] ensures that you can't submit things out of sequence. However, when using many different types of cards, it can be useful to know which happen where.

==Phases==

This is a complete list of phases, in the order that they happen:

* Active Cards wear off
* Discards
* Reinforcement and Spy Cards
* Deploy
* Bomb Cards
* Abandon Cards

Ladders

2016-02-23T16:20:17Z

54.167.11.21: /* Expiration of Old Games */

WarLight ladders are competitive arenas where players compete for the highest spot on the ladder.

You can find the main ladder pages by clicking the Ladders sub-tab under the Community tab. This is where players can join or leave the ladder, or see the up-to-date standings.

==Ladders==
WarLight currently has five ladders:

* The [[1 v 1 Ladder]].
* The [[2 v 2 Ladder]].
* The [[3 v 3 Ladder]].
* The [[Seasonal Ladder]].
* The [[Real-Time Ladder]].

==How Ladders Work==

In the WarLight ladders, you don't get to choose who you play against. Instead, the ladder sets up games for you. You can, however, pick how many games you'd like to be playing at any given time.

The ladder updates once every other hour starting at midnight GMT, then 2am GMT, 4am GMT, etc. Each update, it updates ratings and rankings of all players and creates new ladder games.

WarLight ladders use an ELO rating system, similar to what is used in professional Chess tournaments, to rank players by their skill level. Based on the results of your ladder games, you will receive a rating that will be used to give you a rank on the ladder's scoreboard.

Your rating will change based on the results of other player's games, too. For example, if you beat a player who ends up becoming the #1 player, you get the full results of beating the #1 player even if they were not #1 when you beat them.

Players must complete a certain number of ladder games before they are given a rank: 20 in the 1 v 1 ladder, 10 in the 2 v 2 ladder, and 5 in the seasonal ladder.

==Leaving the Ladder==

Players are free to leave the ladder and re-join it at any time with no penalty. Leaving the ladder does not delete any on-going games, it just stops new games from being created for you. Your rating continues to be updated even when you’re not participating in the ladder. However, you will not receive a rank while not in the ladder and, therefore, won’t be included on the leaderboard. This is done to ensure high-ranking players have to actively defend their high ranks, and can’t just get into the #1 spot and squat on it. If you re-join the ladder, your existing rating will be used to rank you just as it was before you left. This makes it easy to take breaks in case you’re going to be away from WarLight for a while.

==Automatic Booting==

In Ladder games, WarLight uses the [[auto boot]] feature to automatically boot any players who do not move for more than 72 hours (3 days). This helps keep the ladder fair and balanced for all players. Without automating booting, players with their finger on the boot button would, over time, have an edge in the ratings over players who give their opponents extra leeway. Automatic booting takes booting out of the equation, and ensures ratings are determined the same way for everyone. This also prevents games from stagnating which can clog up the ladder and prevent players from advancing as fast through the ladder as they'd like.

==Slight Advantage for First Pick==

In Chess, it's advantageous to play as the player playing white, since the white player goes first. Similarly, in [[Manual Distribution|manual distribution]] WarLight games, it's advantageous to get first pick. That is, if two players pick the same [[Territories|territory]] as their #1 choice, the randomly decided player with first pick will get the territory and the other player will get their #2 choice.

To counteract this, WarLight gives a slight ratings advantage to the player who gets first pick in ladder games, similar to how some ELO systems give a ratings advantage to the player playing white. In Chess, the advantage is estimated to be worth about 33 points, whereas in WarLight the advantage is only 10 points.

Only the 1 v 1 ladder and the 2 v 2 ladder give an advantage for first pick. The seasonal ladder does not.

==Expiration of Old Games==
Games in the 1 v 1 ladder and 2 v 2 ladder expire after a 5 months. Once they're expired, they no longer count towards your rankings. This date is calculated from the date the game ends, not the day it starts.

Games in the seasonal ladder never expire, but they only apply to the current season.

Expiring old games keeps the ladder fresh and ensures that ratings don't inflate over time. ELO rating systems are zero-sum systems, meaning that each player that joins the ladder brings new points into the mix. See [[wikipedia:Elo rating system#Ratings_inflation_and_deflation|Ratings Inflation and Deflation]] for a more detailed analysis.

Talk:One Army Must Stand Guard

2016-01-08T22:24:02Z

54.167.11.21: image unreachable!

image link at page bottom has restricted access on dropbox.... maybe it need to be made publicly visible?

Map requirements

2016-01-06T18:34:46Z

54.167.11.21: /* Bonus Links */

This page lists the requirements that all maps must meet in order to [[Making maps public|go public]].

== Requirements ==

=== Connections are Visible ===

Players must be able to tell what territories connect just by looking at the map.

The biggest mistake some map creators make is to connect two territories over water, but don't include any indication on the map that they connect. It's customary to use yellow lines to show where the connections are - see the [https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=12 Earth Map] for an example. It's not necessary to use yellow lines, it just must be obvious where the connections are. It may be obvious that the territories connect in the map designer, but it needs to be obvious in the real game too.

https://d32kaghj56y4ei.cloudfront.net/static/img/ConnectionMissing.png

In maps with tricky connections, you may need to take special care to ensure that the connections can be reasonably figured out just by looking at the map (without clicking around). A common rule of thumb is that territories that touch must connect, and territories that connect but don't touch must show the connection somehow.

=== Tiny Territories ===

All territories must be big enough to fit a two-digit army number. Often people's first instinct is to keep territories real-life sized, however this doesn't work well in WarLight's engine. This is especially evident once you try playing the [[Mobile Client|mobile version of WarLight]].

Take, for example, Hawaii in the [https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=12 Earth Map]. Hawaii is a very small island, but in the Earth map it's sized significantly larger so that it can fit the army number.

In the map designer, you'll find a button labeled Show Example Armies. When clicking this, all army numbers must fit entirely within the territory's borders.

https://d32kaghj56y4ei.cloudfront.net/static/img/TinyTerritories.png

See [[Inkscape tips]] for a guide on how to enlarge territories to make them fit their army number.

=== Copyright Violations ===

By uploading a map to WarLight, you are asserting that you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to the content within. See the [https://www.warlight.net/TermsOfService Terms of Service] for full details.

=== Missing or Mistaken Connections ===

Maps makers should make an effort to find and missing or mistaken territory connections. Missing connections are a very common problem, as it is difficult to find every last connection error within the map designer alone.

The best way to find these kinds of mistakes is to play the map with real humans. If you need help finding players to test your map, make a thread on the map development [[forum]] asking for volunteers to help test your map. There are always lots of people willing to help test.

Incorrect or missing connections are also much more pronounced in the map previewer (which you can access via links in the Get Link for Sharing window), where all territories connected to the clicked one turn bright yellow. Map creators should create several [[Testing maps|test games]] on their map with real human players and play them out.

=== Territories are named ===

All territories should be named appropriately. Naming many territories the same thing, or just typing gibberish makes it hard for players to coordinate in team games.

=== Bonus Links ===

Bonus Links are the small boxes that show how many armies each bonus is worth. Without these, it is difficult to tell where the bonuses are. See [[Creating the SVG]] for instructions on how to add bonus links.

When possible, bonus links should be placed near or on top of the bonus they correspond to and be big enough to fit the army number that appears inside of it.

=== Appropriate Size ===

The SVG file specifies the width and height of the map in pixels. The recommended starting point is 1000x1000, however map creators can reduce this if they are making a small map or increase it if they're making a big map.

The size specified in the SVG file determines how big the army numbers will be on the map. This size must be appropriate for the map. If a very small map is stretched into a huge SVG file, the army numbers will be too small to see without zooming in. In order to avoid unnecessary zooming, a large SVG file should only be used if the map really needs that much room to fit all of its territories.

=== Territories should not overlap ===

Player-controllable territories can never overlap with each other. If you find yourself in a situation where you feel like you want one territory to be on top of another, you need to cut a hole in the outer territory in the shape of the inner one. This makes the inner one look like it's on top, even though technically the territories aren't overlapping.

=== Testing Maps ===

The map must be a real map and not just a test. It's a good idea to make your first map just a couple of territories to prove you understand how to make a real map, however maps without any strategic value should not go public. You're free to put these into testing mode to play games on them, however.

== Grandfathered Maps ==

Players sometimes notice maps that are already public that don't meet some of these requirements. Older maps that were created before these requirements existed are grandfathered in, such as the Wheel map that does not have bonus links or the United States Big map that had tiny territories. The presence of the old violations does not exempt new maps from the requirements.

Cards

2016-01-05T02:11:46Z

54.167.11.21: /* Types of Cards */ Fixed own mistake

'''Cards''' can be played to accomplish a variety of tasks, such as gaining additional armies, spying on opponents, airlifting armies around, etc.

==Receiving Cards==
When you successfully attack and capture an enemy or neutral [[territory]], at the end of that turn you will receive a piece of a card, regardless of whether you lose the territory later that turn. You can't get more, no matter how many territories you take.

Games can also be configured to give more than one piece per turn via the [[number of card pieces per turn]] setting. In this case, players who take a territory will always get exactly that number of pieces configured by that game each turn.

If a game has multiple types of cards included, the type of card(s) you get is determined randomly based on their [[Card weights|weight]]. It's also possible for game creators to configure [[Card minimums|minimums]] that remove the randomness, either partially or completely.

==Details==
The game creator can pick which cards will be available in their game, so be sure to check the game [[settings]] to know which types of cards you're dealing with.

Cards can be divided into any number of pieces. You cannot play a card until you have collected the entire card.

You may only hold onto a certain number of cards at one time, as defined by the [[maximum number of cards you can hold]] setting. Therefore, there can be occurances where you must use a card.

When you play a card, that card is consumed. Even if the card had no effect, you don't get your card back. For example, if you spy on a player who gets eliminated the same turn, the card is just wasted.

==Types of Cards==
WarLight has 13 different cards:

* [[Reinforcement Card]]
* [[Spy, Reconnaissance, and Surveillance Cards]]
* [[Abandon Card and Blockade Card]]
* [[Order Priority Card]]
* [[Order Delay Card]]
* [[Airlift Card]]
* [[Gift Card]]
* [[Diplomacy Card]]
* [[Sanctions Card]]
* [[Bomb Card]]

==Card Fog==
There are two "fog" settings that determine what is shown to your opponents in regards to cards:

* Visibility of opponent's cards: This setting, visible or hidden, determines whether you can see what cards your opponent is holding as well as the type of card they get at the end of each turn. To see the cards, open the Cards panel and select a player in the drop-down.

* Visibility of opponents playing cards: This setting, visible or hidden, determines whether you can see when your opponents play their cards. If it's set to visible, then all cards being played are public (they'll show up in the [[orders list]].)

One Army Must Stand Guard

2016-01-04T18:26:40Z

54.167.11.21:

'''One Army Must Stand Guard''' is a setting that can be configured by game creators. When enabled, players must leave one army behind on every territory whenever they attack, transfer, or airlift armies out of a territory.

For example, if you have 5 armies on a territory, only 4 would be eligible for an action, and the 5th must remain on the territory to guard it. However, if this setting is left unchecked, then all 5 armies would attack or transfer, leaving the territory from which you attacked with zero armies; however, it would still keep your color.

For example, you own a territory named Territory A. It currently has 10 armies. if you wish to attack Territory B from Territory A and-

YOU HAVE ONE ARMY MUST STAND ENABLED(Checked):
Only 9 armies will attack Territory B. The last army MUST stay on territory A to keep it yours- there is no way around this.

YOU HAVE ONE ARMY MUST STAND DISABLED(Unchecked):
All 10 armies will attack Territory B. Although you will have 0 armies left on Territory A, it will remain yours.

RISKS AND BENEFITS OF THIS STRATEGY:
Risk-
It will allow for enemies to easily take over all of you land, as they will face no resistance
Benefit-
You can do the same to your enemy, and it will leave you with more armies to attack with.

In short, this is a high risk strategy, but one that can pay off well- or ultimately lose you the game.

Levels

2015-12-04T22:18:06Z

54.167.11.21: /* Levels 6+ */

By earning [[points]], players can gain '''levels'''. Gaining levels unlocks additional features or [[map]]s that players can use, among other things.

== Levels don't make you stronger ==
The idea of leveling up is familiar to anyone who's played an RPG. However, WarLight’s leveling system has an important distinction: In WarLight, levels don’t actually make you stronger. WarLight is fundamentally a competitive strategy game, and games will always be won or lost based on your strategy alone. Levels will not do anything that gives you an advantage in a game. It’s just as easy for a level 1 player to defeat a level 30 player as it is for a level 40 player.

== Rewards ==
Leveling up unlocks rewards. Once a reward is unlocked, you have it permanently.

=== Levels 2-5 ===
The rewards for levels 2-5 vary depending on if you're playing on Kongregate.com versus the main WarLight (warlight.net / iOS / Android).

<li>Can join the [[Seasonal Ladder]]</li>
<li>Can create 40 player games</li>
<li>Can join the [[3 v 3 Ladder]]</li>
</ol>

== Map Levels ==
By gaining levels, players can gain access to additional maps. Players only need access to a map in order to ''create'' games or tournaments on that map. If they are invited to a game or tournament, they can always join it no matter what level they are.

Map creators are in full control of what level their maps unlock. As a map creator, you can log into your map at any time, click the "Edit Name/Description" button and set the level. You can do this even after it's public. If you want your map available to everyone regardless of their level, you can just set your map to level 1 and everyone will be able to use it.

The advantage of setting a level to your map is increased visibility. For example, if you set your map to level 10, whenever someone levels up to 10 it'll pop up a message on their screen letting them know they've unlocked your map. For best visibility, you should try to set your map to a level that has few other maps assigned to it (or at least, where your map is rated more highly than the others at that level.)

Free-for-all Games

54.167.11.21: grammar

A free-for-all game, or a [[warlight dictionary|FFA]], is a game where every player plays for himself, versus everyone else; however, temporary alliances might be allowed.

They usually require different strategy than duels: it is often beneficial not to immediately attack everyone you meet, as staying put for a few turns and building up armies is the best course of action. See [[Basic_Strategy#Free-for-all_games|basic strategy for FFA games]].

Move Order

{{DisambigF|the sequence that orders follow within a single phase|all of the phases in a turn|turn phases}}
WarLight will always execute your orders in the order that you supply them, mixed in with the orders from the other players. In the [[Orders list]] in the top-right, you can re-arrange your orders by clicking on them and using the up and down buttons.

Sometimes it is advantageous for your orders to happen early in the turn, other times it is better for your orders to happen after your opponent's orders.

When you want an order to happen after your opponents, often it is useful to execute "dummy" moves first (simply moving armies around within your own territory) so that your important moves happen later in the turn rather than sooner. At least one army must actually move. If no armies move, it won't delay your orders at all. For example, if you execute a [[transfer only]] order to a spot you don't control, this won't result in any armies moving and therefore won't delay your later orders at all.

==Types of Move Order==

Players can specify one of three ways that the move order will work for their game when they create it: Random, Cycle, or No-Luck Cycle. You should check the Settings panel of a game to see which mode it's in.

===Random Move Order===

When a game is configured to randomize the move order, WarLight will randomize the move order on each turn. Each player's first order is executed in this random order, then each player's second order, and each player's third.

This means that in 1v1 games you always have a 50% chance that your first order will happen before your opponent's first order.

For the next round of attacks, the order is reversed so the last player in the first round gets the first move in the second round. It then reverses again for the third round, and so on. This process continues until all orders are executed.

In team games, WarLight ensures that teams are first randomized into their own move order, and then the players within each team. For example, in a 2v2 game, it's not possible for both of team A's players to get to move before any of team B's players.

===Cyclic Move Order===

If the move order setting for a game is set to "Cycle", the move order works a bit differently. The first turn of a game is randomized just as it would be in the Random Move Order system presented above, but subsequent turns just reverse the order each time. For example: ABCD becomes DCBA the next turn, then returns to ABCD for the third turn. This means that, unlike the random move order, the move order is predictable.

There's no way to see the cycle for a game. You must deduce it by observing the sequence that attack orders happen in.
Unlike No-Luck Cycle you can NOT check what the move-order is.

This works well for 1v1 games, since one player will get first move on all of the even numbered turns while the other player gets the odd numbered turns.

In games with [[manual distribution]], the order in which territories are distributed is considered part of the cycle. For example, in a game with two players (A and B), if player A gets their first pick, player B will get first move on the first turn.

===No-Luck Cycle Move Order===

No-Luck Cyclic is like Cyclic, except that it aims to remove the random roll on the first turn. The initial order of the cycle is determined by how fast each player plays during their first turn (or during territory distribution if it's a manual distribution game). Whoever plays fastest will be placed 1st in the first move order, and the second fastest player will be placed 2nd, etc. After the initial order is determined, move order will simply swap back and forth just as it would in cyclic move order.

In order to make this fair, the game will only measure the time from when you begun playing your first turn until when you complete it. When a game begins using this move order, the map is initially hidden and a the [[begin dialog]] appears. Clicking the begin button reveals the map and starts your timer, which will stop when you commit orders or picks.

If you modify your orders on the first turn, it will extend your total move speed to encompass the entire time from when you begun until your final commit. For example, if you begin taking your turn at 1:00pm and commit at 1:10pm, your play speed will be 10 minutes. However, if at 1:30 you change your mind and change your orders/picks, your play speed will update to 30 minutes.

To increase transparency, you can also see exactly how quickly each player took their first turn on WarLight.net in the Menu -> Players window. This shows how fast they took their turn, and if you hover over that value, it also shows the exact time they began and ended taking it. As a separate column, it also shows the resulting move cycle that was determined based on these times. This highlights another difference between this new move order and the standard cyclic move order: the cycle is known by all players. In cyclic move order, it's up to players to figure out the cycle on their own, but in no-luck cycle, WarLight reveals to all players who will be moving when. To help make it obvious, the game shows exactly who will move on the next turn in the left column:

https://d32kaghj56y4ei.cloudfront.net/static/img/NoLuckCycle.png

You can hover over this label to see the entire move sequence for the next turn.

In team games, the slowest player's time of the team will be used to determine the order of the teams in the cycle. Then, within each team, the order is determined by the move speed of each player compared to their teammates.

For example: ABCD becomes DCBA the next turn, then returns to ABCD for the third turn. This means that, unlike the random move order, the move order is predictable.


You can check what the move-order is for the current turn by mousing over the small purple question mark in your orders sidebar.
