I think it is unreasonnable to go AFK during the max 120 seconds of pre-game, and so your request is unreasonnable.

quote:
On top of that, the guy who connected 5 seconds ago already started building mex's where you planed on, and you feel like your whole start is messed up.

You don't understand the eco aspect of the game. RTFM.

Sheep, you are a credit to the community.

My suggestion is that there should be an audio cue with the countdown. It doesn't matter that I don't understand the eco. It doesn't mean that I am afk when the game starts.

The fact that there is even a countdown shows that someone at some point thought it would be a good idea to let people know the game was about to start. I just think it should beep at the same time.

My suggestion is that there should not be an audio cue, because I'm looking at my screen and I don't need a boring sound, because I have a wide enough field of view to focus on the chat window and see the countdown appear. Sheeps are amazing, I know. And if you aren't looking at your screen but are not AFK, you don't need more than half a second to look at your screen.

My suggestion to RTFM is to make you less anxious about not getting that mex beside your startpos because a teammate that wasn't playing with his * was faster than you to build it.

However, you should be anxious about plopping the same fac as your neighbour because you didn't announce your fac. What is the last game you played where you announced your fac or actually discussed strategy with the team? Because "being fairly sure of the plan" alone, and having discussed a plan with your team are 2 different things.

If you are disappointed that your idea didn't get the positive feedback you hoped for, it may have to do with the idea itself or your ability to explain it. Seeing the effort you put to explain your idea, and the lack of interest we can see through posts in this thread I'd say your idea isn't compelling.

If you had proposed something more useful, like a selection box displayed during pre-game where you can pick a factory and that add a factory label near your startpos, I'm sure it would have got better feedback, because that would help team cooperation rather than help a distracted individual to shave a few seconds off...

Here I m the savior of the worlds, the HERO. I had to cross 4500 oceans and 4501 deserts, I traveled 4501 days and 4501 nights. I had to battle 2000 dragons, 3000 trolls, 3000 bears and 1001 rabbits to take over the ancient and secret chest in which was hidden this holly widget. Thanks to me we can end this holly war thread and live on!

Just unzip it in widgets as usual with included startup sound. And enable custom widgets in zk if not already enabled!

Amazing :)
It doesn't do what rich9000 need/want, but it speaks a very important message so he should just install it!

Really? I finally got around to looking at the widget. Real clever widget.

So I was looking at the widgets while the game was getting ready to start and I missed the start...

"3" "2" "1" voice can be cool tho!

The issue now is ... how to read engine's 321 countdown in LUA and attach sound to it.
