New CO option: Copy

Postby rast » Mon May 28, 2012 10:55 am

You should be able to choose "copy" as your CO. This would give you the same CO your opponent chose, once the game starts. If both players chose "copy", they'd both get the same CO, randomly selected from those permitted.

In a tag game (do people still play those? the bugs hurt it a lot) you'd copy both COs.

In games with more than two players, you'd copy a randomly chosen opponent.

Say, for what reason? I'd be annoyed to be permanently mirror matched by people who do not want to take the risk of taking the short straw by picking their CO for themselves and ending up disadvantaged. I think choosing your own CO in anticipation of your opponent's choice and ending up with not absolutely balanced ('cause not mirroring) match ups is what makes the whole CO thing so charming.
If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.

I support the option to copy a CO, that way the more skilled player always comes out on top.

The Co choice is the first strategical decision in a game.
As such i dislike the possibility of taking that away by mirroring an opponent.
Isn't it also part of what we consider a good player to make a good co choice?

The creator of the game could also limit the CO list to include only one CO.

However, I do like this mirror option.
