Every CC Map would have a Conqueror Medal that would be given for being the best at that map. We could have 2 Map Field Marshall Medals per map given as well. To prevent a proliferation of medals, you could award the medal based on the best statistics for that map once a year.
Specifics/Details:
- All Map rankings to be reset from zero - to encourage people to not rest on past records or you may have a situation where a player left the site with the best record.
- Best record would need to be on win ratio but with a minimum number of games (like 25 games)
- One option is to allow Field Marshall to challenge the Conqueror and the top 10 to challenge the Field Marshall in the final stage. Or you could even have a tournament at the end of the year where the top 12 players play around robin.
- User Interface is relatively easy - the current Maps Tab at the top would be the center of this activity. There is one more tab there called "Map Conquerors" - which is just like the map slideshow interface EXCEPT instead of the map being shown, you show the leader board for that map. You use a UI just like the Current Leaderboard but the game stats/Win ratio etc applies ONLY to that map
- To prevent too much medal farming - perhaps you can limit the total medals on this method to 30 for any single player.
- The calculations could be done manually by having each player "apply" for conqueror. Applying for conqueror would use Game Finder to count how many wins the player had at the time of application. You would only get the map conqueror if you actually applied. The awards could be given out manually on an annual basis.
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
[list]
- Encourage more good game play
- Give Players reasons to stay on the site. " Damn, I am the conqueror for X map and if I leave then I give that title up"
- Encourage less played maps to get much more activity
- Encourage another way to compete than going on tournaments. Tourneys are great many times, but a running individual tourney would be good too.
- Easy to implement - the suggestion I have uses existing code. I'll bet it could be up without much effort at all.
- Medal guys will love this (I spoke to Josko.ri so I know
