I'm also very against AI in leagues, but I'm hoping after we see the PVP leagues where the AI win exactly zero events, we can remove them from future leagues and come up with a new solution.

I haven't done any events in my league because I've had to ship up the requisite skill gangers from the southern reaches to SS... I imagine there's a lot of shipping up of characters and cars right now, in addition to retooling of vehicles for PVP action.

By mid this week I'm hoping to be running PVP league events regularly.

I understand the divisions were underpeopled, but I think those divisions should have been either

A. Not run
B. Rolled into larger leagues of at least 6 players

A league with 3 players and any number of AI just guarantees those 3 players a reward simply for paying the entry fee.

I don't disagree. But Sam was on a time constraint and had to make a decision. So we will play i tout a year and then get an opportunity to improve on it hopefully.

Looking forward to FF bragging about looting some kind of rare loot during the PvP against AI.  :cyclops:
Rare loot, from SS based gangs, seriously?
Things sure have changed since I left town...  :(

FYI, I'm implementing a 400-turn limit on squad combat league events. Whoever has demo'd the most CR from the enemy team will be declared the winner at that point.

In case you didn't know how scoring works: whoever demo's the greatest CR from the enemy scores 2 league points. The actual CR demo'd for/against is used as a tie-breaker (like goals scored/conceded in football). In the unlikely event of equal CR demo'd (or in the case that neither team register a squad for the event), both teams get 1 point.

Seriously, that the leagues are filled up with AIs made this league a joke imo. Whats the deal to fight against AIs? They are stupid like a brick.. Are they anyway scaled for this league? Something like 1vs2 odds?


It would have been much easier if the leagues filled up with players, but not enough signed up. Where is your team Zothen?

My resub, getting used to combat again, announcement and time to signup was too close for me to signup.

Sam, I still disagree with NPC in the league and congratulate 4saken for the $1500000 bonus money he will get. Equal AI numbers are NO enemy.

That's $825000 actually..

BTW if you do want to join an existing team or enter your own team Zothen, let me know.. I can still manually make changes..

There are no goals in football, just touchdowns and extra points.  :p

I do have a serious question about the outcome. Does the winner of the event get to loot the losers cars or after one team demos does the event just end like an arena combat?

Looting as normal (assuming one side has fully demo'd before 400 turns)

No, they're all going to be Gates maps, so automatic safe return after the combat

On the page, I can assign "Any" squad to the battle, or so it seems, I thought it was limited to the town?

I wouldn't recommend trying a squad that's in a different town, they won't be able to spawn into the event. You're right though, the web page shouldn't list out-of-town squads.
