Why does every game have one?

I dunno, I just started playing so I have no real idea how shit works here - but it seems like every freestyle game has one guy who takes his turn about 23 hours after everyone else has. Not two. Not zero. Just one guy. Pretty annoying, especially because I'm trying to play from Japan, so I'm way off time-wise from everyone else.

Yeah, I don't really get that either. If someone has a premium account, they should be able to check it atleast 3 times a day. Not once from a school computer during a certain hour.

Why should someone have more time because they have a premium?

Freestyle is a big lottery, If you log on at the right time game is yours. Log on to late and the game is over!

why all the complaints about freestyle. the game is designed as a simulated battle (limited as it may be). in a normal battle no opponent is going to tell you when he will attack. you have to learn things by paying attention to how opponents react to moves being made against them or others and respond accordingly. this may take some more time than others but it better simulates the responses you would have to make in a battle. if the huge tempo, strength, and direction changes in a freestyle game are not for you then play primarily sequential. the issue is not why is one person doing this but rather what is the best defense against it. try slow playing your armies moving more methodically than you might normal do if the opponent is on line regularly.

that having been said always remember:

it's just a game.

I agree everything there (including that it's just a game)

No ones complaining, Just if you have a freestyle game with people from say usa, oz , japan and GB. if you all strart at different times the battle isnt simultaneous. (shite thats a big word.. :lol:

) More a lottery

I generally get on at one time evryday and take my turns and then, I believe that many people do this, especially with the time difference. I like freestyle because it lets me play once daily no matter waht, whereas sequential it could be a few days in between turns

play sequential if you don't like freestyle.

So if I check it at 5pm, 5:10pm and 5:20 is that ok with you mille?

Maybe Lack should put a disclaimer up for when you purchase premium, You must check CC 3 times a day.

Lol, I check my games a couple times a day... if you play freestyle, it helps a lot to be able to take your turns more than once a day, and sometimes starting them within a few seconds of the round starting is critical...

Yeah, sometimes people are always around a computer so it isnt very hard to check their games often.
