The Ladder Admin board would like to try an collect statistics of how many WL's vs Civ4 games are played. There is no easy way to do this, so I would like all ladder players to not put any comments on your reports if they are standard Civ4 games, and all Warlords games to put a comment no matter what, such as Cton Warlords etc.. That way we all can just count the number of reports with comments each day.
Thanks for your help.
CS

No one does this, all my reports from the past 4 days have been WL, but not one has WL in the comment!
I dont think people will start either!

Well spread the word in your games, not everyone reads the forums obviously so please spread this by word of mouth.
Thanks CS

Sure, but it will not catch on!
The reason i say this is if you guys are planning to make changes to the ladder i.e. make 1 ladder for vanilla CIV and one for WL's, then dont do it based on report comments.
The best and most reliable way of comparing the 2 games is to ask the "super active" players to make guestimate.

But don't worry we won't make decissions just based just on this data, but any more sources of data is a good thing. I have Warlords as do most of the admins do or soon will. I certainly have been keeping an eye on both lobbies for the general activity levels. But just for your info we will not be making a new ladder, Civ4players will remain the only ladder for Civ4 and it's XP's. The reason we want to collect data is to decide how to run the next CCC. CS

If it helps, I play only warlords games. Each and every one of the reports I've received or given in the past 4 days has been warlords only.
As will each game from this point forward.

Um well I didn't get warlords till yesterday and I found it hard to find a game of regular civ before that. Although I was out of town Friday and part of Saturday so i didn't play those days, but between Tuesday and Thursday there was jack. I'd say a 2 to 1 ratio of Warlords to Regular sounds about right to me. Most ladder players are diehard players anyways, so they've gotten the expansion already.

So it comes down to whether or not you think the extra leaders(and there traits), unique buildings, and Great Generals are worth the money...... CS

I sure hope WL is doing better than the "daily results" game comments indicates.
I can see why it's important to put the WL into a game comment loss report.

Well my observations of the WL's lobby is that many vets have bought it right away and are playing it, there's not a huge list of players in the lobby but it is growing, I think it'll take another week or two for the product to hit the shelfs the world over.

I think CS is right about waiting for the product to hit the shelves. I know in my area most stores didn't order enough of the product. I have friends that work at best buy and told they only order 10 units of the expansion . So I'm guessing as time goes on more people will be playing WL. I know I will in a couple more days. I ordered my on-line ;D

clearly the easist way to do this wuld be to add a box to tick of when you fill in the report this way you wuld be able to get more precise data and you wuld be able to filter out excaktly how many warlords games are being played and not just how many people are playing warlords x number of times a day
