Am I blind? I've played a few games in the pub league, and I think the league info in the upper right indicates that doping and training and such are in. I can't seem to find them. When are these kinds of things available, and how do I use them?
So i tried to play a game against Dhalsim and it was seriously the worst luck ever:
-burned both rerolls the opening turn thanks to double reds/both down
-gave up a touchdown on turn 3
-two guys knocked out
-blood bowl crashes
-computer crashes
Yeah your UI went all screwy but I had no idea about the other stuff =(. So technically you won that because I dropped. Either way I think there were some key errors that led to the majority of the guys knocked out. 1) Sheer luck I heard there's a church close to you GET THERE 2) Somewhat bad decision making on where to put guys when running toward the end zone. We briefly talked about it but let me reiterate: It doesn't matter if I roll up with random Bob #2 and you get three dice your favor, the chances of me getting pushes/defender stumbles and defender downs is actually pretty high compared to bothdown and attacker downs. NEVER have a guy willingly on the crowd line. This also goes for those Saurus that I was able to push and then knockdown at the line, don't stand them up because it basically forces me to leave 2-3 guys there in order to ensure he was takin' out of the game anyways so in essence it hurts me more than you, but I can't do anything about it because Saurus are such a HUGE threat to any "low" strength team.
Skinks are also an integral part of your team as well. They level the fastest and can move to areas to block off assists so your saurus can wreck house. Honestly I think Kroxigors are kinda worthless but that's just me. If it was a Treeman go for it because they only have to roll their version of "bonehead" when they move and nothing else. So think about either doing a 6 saurus 7 skinks list and then during the late season buy that krox to confuse and pummel a team like a no slayer dwarf team or a skaven team.
I'll be on saturday if you wanna get a game in sometime.
If you got 3 TD with a new Chaos team, your offense was not mediocre. Chaos is not a great offensive team, especially early on with no ball-handling skills. My offense pretty much consisted of Chaos Warriors on the line of scrimmage, 2 Beasts on each wing in blitz range, and a couple of Beasts back to grab the ball. Nothing special. Without any Sure Hands, you're pretty much praying that your goats can manage to actually pick the ball up. Smash whoever you can, make a cage, and push forward.
Well, the two first half TDs were scored when I was on defense, not receiving. I simply smashed my way through him and stole the ball. To be fair he made some really stupid move choices that resulted in several rapid turnovers for him. Maybe I should just play on Medium, playing on easy might be detrimental.

My single player chaos team i have a beastman who rolled doubles twice, and he has pass and accurate as his skills. It really opened up the way i can play chaos. Got a couple guys with extra arms too. I must have used up all my BB luck on this one team because my Minotaur also has block.
Dhalsim:
I really didn't want to put that saurus where he was, but i felt my only chance for SPP on the saurus was to put him there and move up that skink to make a half cage. Of course, the skink promptly rolled a 2 then a 1 to fuck that whole plan up. I could have handed the ball off to the skink on the turn before, he could have reached the endzone on 1 GFI, but i wanted SPP for my saurus.
Previously, i had a plan to chain block on of your guys on the left side out (then i could move that left guy out), but i needed a block to open up that block, which rolled double both downs. You right though, i shouldnt have stood up the guy on the left until those blocks were made.
Lesson to learn: don't hit escape too many times while trying to skip the cutscene. How did you know my UI went all screwy?
Honestly, playing the computer at all teaches you bad habits regarding multiplayer tactics. It's fun; you just need to be aware that it's not running a complicated AI and can't counter any changes you make to expected tactics.

Well first there was the clue you saying "Omha i cant see anything" and then subsequently facerolling and pressing enter like so "gftrhjyktjyugbviuhpib87"

New update downloaded when I logged on just now. Not sure yet if it added star players for the public league or not, but it did add a number of extra public league chat rooms broken down by language in addition to the normal main lobby (French, English, Italian, Spanish, and German).

Blood Red Beasts just had their first victory out of 4 matches.
I have to admit that depresses me a bit. Am I ever going to win a game again? I felt you gave me a pretty thorough beating, despite the fact that you only won by one goal. It wasn't "bad luck" that led to 5 of my guys being K.O.'ed by the 2nd half, but some poor decisions on my part and great play on yours.
Just finished my second game vs the AI, another disappointing game where somehow no one was injured or killed. :?
The consolation is that I won 2-0, and the good news is the only Beastman I've had level up so far rolled a +1 AG! I guess he is my new ball handler/thrower. What skills would be good for him? I was thinking Sure Hands next then maybe Kick off return, strong arm or pass.
[edit]
Oh, and can I be added to the coach list in the OP? Coach name is "Galaga". Also, wasn't there mention of an IRC channel? OP has no info on it, or is there a channel in-game that everyone chats on?

There we go, everyone added in. I think we have around 35 coaches or so all told.
You missed me on the bottom of page 52, coach name Vera Ironboots. Right now it seems the only people I play are confused Germans who have never played the game before and French people who disconnect constantly.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go
A Pub orc team just had a blitzer roll an 11 on lvling (to lvl 2). Should i go with the Agility, or should i just select some skill?
I would say yes to the Agility. It opens up some nice options later...you could give him Strip Ball so that the Agility will help you get to the ball-carrier, or (if you get a double along the way) either Dodge or Catch and make a pseudo-catcher.

I ended up taking the agility, and it is glorious. Its like having an elf on my team. Or an orc ninja.
After a brief hiatus moving to a new stadium, the SOuthington Sandmen came back strong with a 1-0 win over the Blood Red Beasts. The Sandmen took their name to heart, putting 7 Beastmen to sleep. The Beasts nearly pulled off the tie on the last turn, but their Chaos Warrior tripped up.
Nice game, Rabidrabbit. If I hadn't gotten an early numbers advantage you would have probably wont that one.
Is there a way to "re-roll" a new player? I've noticed that if I click back it will change the name of the new players, but I'm not sure if the stats do.

Yeah it was a fun match. I have never before seen so many Beastmen getting constantly knocked out.
But I do now know what my team lacks. Rerolls! 2 is not enough for a Chaos team.

Stats are standard depending on on the players position. And you can manually rename your players in the Player Details section where you do your level ups.

Yep, at least until your players get some more skills. Having some extra players with Block, Dodge, Catch and such will reduce your need for rerolls.
The cool thing with Chaos is that you can use Mutations to really tweak your players. Extra Arms, for example, is sort of a hybrid of Catch and Sure Hands.
Is there any way to change the names of players already on your team?
A few of my players have levelled up but in a game I have no idea which ones they are unless I look at their skills, because I can't remember the computer generated names at all.
Also, I haven't found the menu for customizing a player's look. Does it cost money, btw?

Team Egg (Not Pictured) - 1 Rabidrabbit's Blood Red Beasts - 0
This game was won through injury rolls alone. RR couldn't catch a break, and he had two players killed, one MNG and two badly injured. He had five players on the pitch on that last drive.
Thanks for playing, RR, and hopefully your injury rolls wont ever be that bad again.

That was the worst match this team has had, no doubt about it. But they have been playing really bad lately, so they deserved it. I hope they can stay on their feet next time.
I actually had three players die, but for once the apothecary actuall worked and saved one. I then fired one from the team, who recieved a niggling injury. That should teach the rest of them!
You can rename a player until they play a game, after that their name is fixed an unchangeable.
Fuck... so if I decide to specialize a player in a certain thing, I can't rename him to remind me of what he does best? God damnit... should be able to give them nicknames at least...

1-0 against Cult of the bloody tongue.
It was a fun match, but the dice where in my favour and alot of humans where injured (but not permanently i think).
In the end ArmLion had about 5-6 players on the field and my whole team where still playing.
I have to admit that depresses me a bit.
Good game.

And customizing look is on the player detail page. You have Skin and Shape buttons that cycle through a few different looks.
