Another usually mentioned bug:

  • In a two-player game, when one of them surrenders, the victory is credited to that who has most points (or defeat for both if tied), though he actually surrendered.

    I really would appreciate it very much if this bug were fixed.

  • This will be fixed with the new scoring system


    Excellent, thank you very much.

    And just a suggestion:

  • Increase the number of turns without hostilities (from 10 to 20 or 25) before ending the game, so that there is time enough for the lines to maneuvre before closing to cannon range and to catch fleeing slower ships after the battle.

  • This is an easy change, however increasing the timer too much can have bad effects: imagine a game where the ships at a certain point lose the ability to hurt each other, their players would have to wait 20 (or 25!) turns without doing nothing if they want to end the game without declaring a draw or surrendering.
    Is 10 turns really not enough to maneuver before firing? Would 15 suffice?
    I don't think I have enough WS&IM experience to judge, so I would like to hear more players on this topic


    Yes, I know it's a very subjective matter. In some games with many ships I do have had to close to cannon range before I had wished in order to break the non-hostility count. It's also true that increasing that count would prolong unnecessarily some dead-end games, but I think these usually are not many. An ideal solution would be to allow an earlier end if both players agreed so (by tickable boxes, as surrender and draw), but I know this would require a deeper change in the code. Maybe 15 turns would be enough after all. Let's listen other opinions.
