Hi! You can discuss your games in here with other players!!

Why does a game sometimes in the endgame call it a draw?

@EnderSlayer a few reasons a match would be a draw:

1) Stalemate
2) Final pieces result in insufficient material to mate (e.g., a king and a bishop vs. just a king)
3) Time out and the person with remaining time has insufficient mating material (e.g., you win on time but only have your king left)

And you'd think somebody with a 2000 rating would know that.

Hey!! Now you’re just being mean, @MrPushwood.

And thank you, @Schtaeve

Better mean than clueless.

Why does the Civ engines use separate shield counts for each improvement/unit? It seems so much simpler to have just one shield count for everything.

@MrPushwood That's a provisional rating, mind you. And it's bullet.
