Hints

EFFACÉ

There is a lot of information and no way of effectively tell it to the players so I came up with the idea of adding tips and hints to the loading screen (as is common practice in other games). I want to ask for help with coming up with ideas for those hints and also phrasing them as best as we can, they need to be short but informative. Here is couple of them so you get the idea:

- Hold shift while clicking on territory to add the maximum number of troops
- When you lose a battle in Hardcore (HC) mode, the number of troops in your attacking territory will always be reduced to 1.
- When using boosts, you spend the free (left) ones first.
- You spend attack boosts even if you win your first roll.
- You can't move your defense boosts once placed.
- If you are using the Reindeer or Snowmen races, you must have pre-paid boosts for the additional boosts to be available.
- You can mute anyone by pressing the tiny chat bubble icon next to his name.
- Your army strength is calculated according to the largest number of connected territories. Try to avoid having a lot of separate regions.
- You can use keyboard shortcuts to use boosts - 'A' for attack, 'D' for defense.
- Visit the forum at http://www.vortexwars.com/forum to share your ideas, report bugs and make new friends.
- You can change your race, background image and check your stats at the profile screen

etc... feel free to suggest more and fix spelling/rephrase existing ones. I will keep updating list with suggestions that I think that will be useful

You should name the Details button for this one, because it is the only way to get there. There is no Profile button to change this stuff.

I think I will rename detail button to profile button, makes more sense that way

Yeah, that is an other way to solve this problem. What does not fit is made to fit.

I second bringing up the forum. Could use some fresh faces around here. (No offense...... )

- When you lose a battle in Hardcore (HC) mode, the number of troops in your attacking territory will always be reduced to 1.

To be honest... If you loose in ANY mode it will be reduced down to 1. That's not really what defines HC, right? I would rather put it like that:

- Unlike Attrition (Att) and 1v1q in Hardcore (HC) game mode your lost attacks do not have chance of lowering opponents defenses.

[Lopdo]

That is very good point

- avoid games with "1v1q" setting, it's totally random and you will get mad

[Lopdo]

I will remove 1v1q in VW2.0, no one understands it, no one plays it and it sucks

WHAT??? NOOOOOOOOOO 1V1Q IS SO AWESOME WHY???????????
