Wow, I'd never heard of or used WineTools. Before, RoboWar would crash in the installer. After using WineTools, RoboWar died because of a missing library....

I think it would be interesting to throw a completely new set of weapons out there and eliminate the old ones. No backwards compatibility. Make people start...

There is Robowar II at there that does some of these things. As far as I can tell it has not received that great of a welcome. The other thing it does is...

Amazing! Thanks Ian! Does everything work including drafting board? (Drafting Board has been reported to cause some problems before.) If it does, I'll announce...

... You hit the nail on the head Matt. I could: A) Implement them all. This has already been done, and it was called RW2. B) Implement none, that will create a...
... Now, you've created a mystery! One thing that I suggested before was to add a team round to the standard tournament. So all entries would compete solo,...

Yeah, it might be interesting to have the "Master" robot be a bit tougher/the slaves a bit weaker. This would sort of tie into my other concern with this sort...
Oops, Kevin neglected to mention one detail of my original idea. This isn't set in stone, it's still sort of in the conceptual stages other than the basic...

I admit that I thought about this strategy as soon as I heard the idea, but as soon as I thought about it I thought about how to combat it. I think it is hard...
