Other Turn Options for Match Making

[Moonknight]

Why is simultaneous turns the only option for match making? Why can't turn-based be a choice?

I love the match making, but I hate simultaneous!

I don't use matchmaking any more, because I hate simultaneous turns.

Suggestion:
Allow a matchmaking request to have multiple options. Instead of a drop-down, have checkboxes. Some players might not care whether the game is simultaneous or turn-based, if it decreases the matchmaking waiting time. Note that there is a difference between having two different requests and one with multiple options, since in the first case, two games might start, which may be too much for some.

In addition, if you want to encourage more match-making, then why not allow free accounts to play a fourth match via matchmaking only? (Or reduce it to 2 games plus 1 per match-making.)

Will take a look at this as soon as possible. I know the matchmaking is left at 75% done or something like that. Good idea with checkboxes instead.

Excellent!

I think more players would use matchmaking if options besides simul turns were allowed. Many players don't like the simul games so giving them another option would be better.

Personally I like being able to play random opponents on random maps, but don't like having to play the simul games.

I think it would be a lot better if the match making page would load with the most general default settings, i.e.

Both checkboxes for normal and simultaneous checked
Min turn time: 1
Max turn time: 5

That way, only the settings that a players cares about are restricted.

Oh, and thanks for allowing match making with normal turns now!
