Most board game mechanics will not work as well as you intend them to. Good board game developers need to know when to drop mechanics and when to refine them. I’ve been playing with a new mechanic called “traffic.” Yes, I thought this would make a good mechanic a week ago. Click here. So it goes.

How many times do you need to show a hooky idea or game mechanic in a trailer for people to understand it? The reason it’s good to show something 2-3 times is firstly because if you only show it once, the person watching might miss it entirely and if you never show it again they could be missing out on a key game mechanic.

However, doing this with battalion mechanics (instead of individual units) presents the issue that battalions tend to clump and mix quite a lot, so it looks kind of messy. I've been writing some code so that units sort of keep formation when given orders, unless the units are too spread, as it happens in Starcraft 2 for example.

So I'm writing a delta compression mechanism for my game, and I had a few questions. Suppose we're compressing floating points and doing the usual thing. Rounding to nth decimal place, quantizing to that decimal place, bit packing, and sending to client. So our normal 32 bit float (example: 1.4839284) becomes 1.48 and then 148 when quantized.
