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
  • Is it recommended to not choose similar colors as your opponent (pink/red, light blue/dark blue); similar colors for allies are OK

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.

Is player's rating based on highest of all game modes or only global and ladder?

@ctrl-k of all, ladder global 3v3 2v2 4v4 whichever one you have is the biggest one we take into account

So it takes into account my 3v3 rating which is incredibly high because noone plays and i havent touched in ages?

@nuggets If rating is completely outdated (>6-12 months) maybe it will be an exception. As for you, you've played 11 games in April (out of 55 total), which isn't too old.

Tmm ratings should not be included since they are all inflated

@thewreck I don't think they are inflated. They're just not calibrated sometimes. And it applies to global as well. Nuggets fell from 2300 global to 2000 while keeping 2200-2300 in TMM since he doesn't play there much cannot find a game. Meanwhile Orb mainly plays TMM and have higher rating there (meaning he is underrated globally).

These cases are the exact opposites of each other. It's impossible to solve this issue in a perfect way (especially since TMM rating can reflect 2v2 skill more than global with those 5v5 7v7 lobbies). Because of this I've made rating cap 400 points higher for each team this time. That's enough room to adress overrate in one of the sections.

I am overrate
