About draws:
- Draw is death of all commanders or signed through diplomacy.
- If draw occurred in stage 1, game should be replayed until achieving the decisive result.
- If draw occurred in stage 2, both teams receive half a point.
In-game rules:
- Common control - multiple armies, union control
- Share conditions - partial share
- Unlimited timeouts
- Do not transfer your entire base or entire army before your commander dies. Transfering some units is allowed; exchanging bases is also allowed
- Do not Alt+F2 to change view after your death and before your base is given to an ally
- No in-game spectators other than players, organizers and streamers are allowed
- It is recommended to include "dats2" in lobby name to help keep track of games. For example, "dats2 ABC vs XYZ"
- It is recommended to not choose similar colors as your opponent (pink/red, light blue/dark blue); similar colors for allies are OK. Here is the tutorial
Short description of union control:
If one of commanders dies, the player can switch via Alt+F2 to his ally and continue to help his ally. Alt+F2 won't allow do anything besides it (won't allow giving yourself Paragon or Mavor). So if one of teamates dies, both player will control all the units they have. For example, one can play land and other play air to divide responsibilities.
It essentially eliminates APM penalty for a commander's death. In order to compensate it, full share is changed to partial share. Partial share works as full share except it doesn't share military units, only buildings and engineers.
