Re: WTC GROUP STAGE GAMES START 24th SEPTEMBER
Shouldn't challenges be posted after the update? Certain units have had their costing altered and the ZOC rules have been modified. If someone sets up a match prior to the update and the opponent accepts won't that mean the costings are incorrect?
Re: WTC GROUP STAGE GAMES START 24th SEPTEMBER
A good question.
However this could only be an effect for Period 4 games.
The build should be asking FoG owners to update as the multiplayer is opened .. it did so for me.
Therefore, hopefully challenges have avoided this possibility,
If period 4 opponents are in doubt the challenge can be reposted by agreement.

Does that mean the ZOC rules preventing angling your line does not apply to FOG2 as there has not been an update for it? It is only for Medieval? I hope the new ZOC system will apply to both versions of the game as base play should be uniform.

Re: WTC GROUP STAGE GAMES START 24th SEPTEMBER
Sorry Steve I do not know the answer to that one.
It is a question for Richard.
I understand the next patch for FoG2 will be likely to be January .. to avoid being done during DL or this competition.
I agree with you and would anticipate that it aligns both builds. That, though, is only my interpretation .. as said; I do not know for sure.
