Warrior General Games

Game simmed after all other games. I think the reason was that it did eventually auto fill the other positions. For punting during the game, the HAL used 11 different punters due to being Level 1s. Sure wished Bort would think about Locked Leagues so that we always had good competition and rivalries going again like back in the early days of this game.

He doesn't think about a lot of shit. In general I think there are way too many teams for the # of players in the game. Every year about 25% of the teams in GLB have CPU rosters. Now if their still is an owner I', not sure what you do about that. But in the 4 Africa AAs he couldn't fit all the CPUs in 1 league. So, we have about 30-35% CPU owned teams in Africa AA. He used to really limit the # of teams he released each year. You really need to staff a programmer (or 2) just to handle details. At some point I think Bort decided to reap whatever profits he could. Really there are already sim games linked off of Fox Sports. YOu can't watch the games and you can't build players but they have rights NFL player names. SO you can draft from a number of current and historical teams. It's still in the stages where you set it up, run the sim & look at the stats and score. But it's the first time I've seen something directly in the vein of this game. And if anyone ever decides to do a game like this, they won't spend 2 years testing it live. They'll get it together, test for a short time live, and that's it.

I hear what you're saying but our game with them yesterday simmed early. ??? don't know what to say about that. I had thought that the more complex AIs take more time to sim. Just me thinking out loud. last season, over in AA#4, we were nearly always the last sim in...so I went through and put our AIs on a diet and rebuilt the DefAI sim. Now we're typically one of the first teams done. I may be gazing into dark spaces but that's what I'm seeing to this point, looking into the same trend.

GG Vereenging. Still can't say that word. Used to travel to Capetown and J'burg about 10 years ago. GG.

GG to you too PSJL. We're trying to turn the corner but it keeps moving.

This might help with the name. 'Fur-een-agk-un'

It's the 'agk' that gives me troubles. You from Zed-A?

No, I'm stateside. My buddy, the original owner, worked in the field around those parts of S. Africa a few years ago. He had to back out of playing the game so me and another buddy run the Monkeys.

Yeah, it doesn't sound like its spelled in English. I had a hard time with it as well.

That's cool. The company I worked for worked with BP, Caltex and Engen doing retail network studies. I really enjoyed the time there. I got better at Zulu clicking than I did with Afrikaans. Dutch, or any form of it, is just beyond my ability to say words.

GG Grocery.

GG Executioners. That was insane!

Really a good game.
Can't believe Executioners was defeated by Long Dongs.........

well if everything stays the same Long Dongs will be able to back up their earlier win. 9 fumbles and you win, that's sick.

Congrats to Thompson's and Hanoi for Regular Season Champs in season 13!

Lol, thanks!

Thanks. Hanoi def had the harder road to their conference. Playoffs should be pretty wide open. I think there are about 6-7 teams that could win it all.
