Hi beta testers and others

Do you think it will be useful to display the skill description in a popup when move your mouse over the skill ?
for beginners would be a good resource

That would be a nice-to-have, but not a requirement.

This - practically speaking I think skill descriptions would be of limited use. I can see this tool being very useful for setting up tournament rosters, which would mean they're printed out and carried along (and you can't mouse hover over paper).

Do you mind if I forward the link to Gaixo?

Can we just post feedback here?

This might have already come up, but many tournaments allow people to "buy" skills, using either their general treasury or a separate budget.

Examples:
-1.2 million to buy your entire team, including skills at the usual rate.
-1 million to buy your team (players/RRs/staff), plus 150k for skills.

If those options could be added, it would be much more useful for tournaments.

Hi Gaixo

I will add this option in a few days.

But I have a few questions about this requirement:
  1. Can you buy several skills for the same player ?
    Can you increase characteristics ?
    The costs are always the same (simple:+20000; double +1MA +1AV :+30000; +1AG: +40000; +2ST: 50000) ?

Often, but not always.
Can you increase characteristics ?
Some tournaments only allow increases to MA or AV. Fewer allow increases to all of them. There are also some that don't allow any at all.
The costs are always the same (simple:+20000; double +1MA +1AV :+30000; +1AG: +40000; +2ST: 50000)
Almost always. Those that differ from this are usually fairly involved.


Sorry that I can't give you stronger answers, but there is a lot of variation in tournament rules. If you wanted to have one simple set of rules, I would just allow multiple skills and stat increases at their usual values. Then users could police themselves by simply not selecting those that aren't available at their event.

Hi Gaixo
That sounds OK for me. I will do the job in this way.

Quick one. How would that functionality differ from the League section already there?

In the league mode, players must earn xp to "buy" improvements.
All the bricks are there but I need to recombine them and add some checks.

Yeah, I tried to use the league tab, but that requires that you add SPPs to each player you want to skill up. It works, but isn't very convenient.

Cool, makes sense. Will be a good addition (alongside stat boosts, ideally)
