Game Notes (Instead of Player Notes)

  • Games Notes - A per game Captains Diary

    Does anyone think something like this would be an improvement over Player Notes? Or a meaningful standalone addition?

    Right now I'm playing in 7 different games and my biggest challenge is keeping track of all my alliances and deals.

  • first of all, you're a crazykilla for even attempting 7 games! i've only ever played 2 at a time and didn't really enjoy the experience. i don't recommend 7.

    but given that you ARE in 7 games, get a pen and paper and take some notes :)

    Yeah, 7 May be a bit much. I think 5 is good number of games to be played at once, as long as they are not all started at the same time.

    My phone was about to die last night, so I didn't get to elaborate to much. But I think Game Notes would be extremely beneficial to the game. Even if they were as simple as adding a "private" thread under the 'communications' tab.

    That way, you can make important notes about a game as the occur. As a preview, I've just gone through a game that is currently in Day 3 @19:00. If I had Game Notes, they would look something like this:

    Day 1: Ally with Teal
    Day 1: Accidentally declare Total War with Purple in Public Chat
    Day 1: Take over one of Purples Factories
    -
    Day 2: Aggressively Attack Red
    Day 2: Split bases with Red and become Allies against Purple
    Day 2: Brown makes a Mine
    Day 2: Take over another of Purples Factories
    Day 2: Purple Resigns
    -
    Day 3: Start pushing in on Brown
    Day 3: Brown pushes in on me from the other side
    Day 3: Red betrays me and Teal
    Day 3: Red and brown are most likely Allies


    That's just one example. As I play more, I'll come up with more ways how this could be extremely beneficial.

    Also, I'll start a new game later today and keep track of everything as if I were using 'Game Notes', then paste my notes here when the game has ended.

  • My earlier install version wasn't saving my notes, so I gave up on it.

    I'll try again today.

  • Small side question. I can't see where to keep notes on my Android version.

    Is it included already? Am I looking in the wrong places?

    Thanks.

  • It's in the player profile. Tap the (i) button on the top right of an info panel when you're in a game and you'll get there.

    Also, I just confirmed that notes aren't saved on Android yet. Added it to the list to fix.
