MP reinforcements pools.

[Michael Slaunwhite]

I was doing some thinking about MP while I was playing a online game earlier today, and while we were playing I got to thinking about reinforcements pools.

I can only explain it by giving you a scenario.

I setup a game for 4 players, we four players start playing the game, and are all on the battlefield.

Others come to the game lobby, and join in the room I created even though the game has already begun, and they get to choose which side to play for (Union or Confederate) and they are immediately placed in the reinforcements pool for the side they have chosen.

Meanwhile in the game the highest ranking members for each side sees a number (right hand corner) telling them the amount of reinforcements there are waiting to engage (something nice to let the commanding officer know what is what).

Mikesla (one of the players) loses his connection, and is dropped (not very good anyway..see ya!) :huh: . As soon as he drops the next person in the reinforcements pool for that side immediately joins the game.


Anyway, just thinking there guys!
