*Updated to 8.67b

[VuDu]

why the -lai command is only for the league?

[Paladon]

-lai is not only for the league. What are you talking about?

[VuDu]

when i write -lai in 5.67 it says that is a league only command

[Paladon]

That is weird.

There are just three saved messages for this command:

1) "Enabled the AI for leavers."
2) "Disabled the AI for leavers."
3) "This command can only be used by the game leader."

I have no idea why there should be something named like a league.

Edit:
I also do not find the message : "This command is only available in the league" (or something similar) inside the script.

Edit: Try it again, maybe you simply misread it or make a screenshot of that message and your command.

[VuDu]

aa sorry it says this can only be used by the game leader and i'm the game host :arrow: leader

[Paladon]

puuh
I already thought i'd miss something massive^^

i'm confused on a lot of what u say. it's clear that your head was made horrible wrong somehow paladon. is this meant to be a useful post or is this like a homework assignment for a crappy writing teacher where you just put whatever you want because you don't think anyone's going to really read it closely? hahaha!

i clicked on the link to see the special info about the game modes and found a locked forum that made little sense to me or if it did i was still unclear on a few things.

for instance, what's the exact formula for the bounty in each mode again? and please be more specific in the calculation of the formulas. also, what's the exact changes on the specs the new modes? i want to konw what they're gold starts are now and how is it a good player won't be able to farm in some modes exactly? i'm curious what the new formulas for the creeping are and if the expericence gain formulas have also baeen adjusted and what they are please. i don't want an interpretation of what's been changed in a changelog, i want the actual changes please.

I really hate this "soft HB" change. Please keep normal mode to exactly as it is. Normal mode. We're not exactly noobs down under.

[qweqqweq]

i like it, it seems to follow logic to bring the normal mode closer to the most popular mode among noobs. that way with only a slight bother to veteran players they can concede a small advantage to the newer players with less experience. in short: it seems to give newer players a slight edge.
