I think most high ranked players don’t play random games and not available for them, because very often their opponents have much lower score.
I suggest to add button in “headquarters”/”my account” which will set up minimal score of opponent for random game (“minimal opponent’s score” for short then).
“minimal opponent’s score” can’t be higher than current player’s score.

Eg if my score 2450, I can set up “minimal opponent’s score” as 2444 and nobody below 2444 can invite me to random game.
If I start random game and there are nobody who available for random game with decent score, then this random game will become my not started random game. I have to wait while somebody with 2400+ pts will become available for random game or start random game (If only my score higher than “minimal opponent’s score”, which he has set up for himself).

So here will be two consequences:
1) if you start random game and there was somebody’s not started random game where you can join(your score more than his “minimal opponent’s score” and his score more than your “minimal opponent’s score”), then you will be joined to it and will play as red.
2) If you don’t want to wait for opponent with decent rank for a long time, then you should set up less “minimal opponent’s score”.

I would prefer to wait but have a good opponent then, if I had a choice.

What do you think, guys?

I like that idea

It would also be nice if we could "veto" 3-5 maps. This way I wouldn't be randomized into maps like Jungle :c

I think that the mods should implement this new rule within uniwar:
all the players with more than 2000 points (ore more than 2500) are forced to have at least number randoms turned up, within a range of range points.

Look at this example:
My Points: 2400;
Number of Randoms: 3;
Range of Points: 100;

If the three values were those, i would be forced to have 3 random games every week with players who have from 2300 to 2500 points.

I think that this system should be taken into consideration by Xavi.

Test my maps:
1-on-1
ColdestPlace - Tiny Desert - SkyAndSand

3-on-3
DeadFlower

4-on-4

i like the consept.

But i agree more on JC's suggestion. You should not be able to set limit as high as your own score. 100 points below sounds good. But it should also be possible to play random vs much higher rated players - if they have not set a limit themselves.

I dont think Xavi reads these forums very often... but he comments frequently on the facebook page ...

So we'd better post on facebook too. I may do it tomorrow. I think that repairing random game creation and improving score attributions are the first problems Xavi have to solve for creating a good HD version. He may have already done...

In general I like the idea, only problem is that noone will get games anymore, cause everyone wants to play opponents with a higher rating....

If they applied what Rainbow said you would be right, but if they applied what i said you wouldn't. Because player CAN'T choose the level of the opponents on random.
