Accounts are Coming

It has always been my plan to implement an account system for Catastrophe X, and over the past few days I have gotten started on this large undertaking. The account system, once in place, should add much a much-needed element of longevity to the game. Battles will have more significance because you will be ranked against other players, and as a result there should be more incentive to develop strategically effective detachments.

I intend to deploy the kernel of the account system next week, and then add to it in phases.

Phase 1 (next week)
Basic account registration and sign-in capabilities. No actual account functionality other than reserving a username.

Phase 2
Ability to save custom detachments to your account and use them in battle.

Phase 3
Basic player profiles.

Phase 4
Record battle history and display battle stats in your headquarters and on player profiles.

Phase 5
Devise a good rating system to rank player performance.

There will be more to add once these features are in place, but I won't get ahead of myself. More soon!
