I've made quite a few presentation changes, improved page load times, added a new Member Prestige feature (see below image) and improved the accuracy of the Army Polls by enabling members to leave an army unrated. WFB Member Prestige earned for adding quality battle notes / links, rating other battles and general participation WFB Polls page updated to allow members to, for example, leave an army book unrated because they haven't read it* Several pages now load a lot faster Image attribution so you know who painted which minis
* I have removed all the default data where a user did not rate any armies at all. As a result the Poll summary is now a lot more accurate and Warriors of Chaos are well and truly in the lead in the Strongest Army poll, Skaven, Dark Elves and Daemons make up the closest chasing pack.
If you want to keep up to date with major changes please follow the Battle Reporter blog – WFBattles label. Or if you want to hear about all the detailed changes please Like the WFB News Facebook page.

Quick update: the Battle Notes now recognise carriage returns (new lines) so all notes for Battles, Campaign Battles, Leagues and your personal profile Battle editor are formatted correctly. [tested on latest version of Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox and Opera; also iPad and Android browsers: Opera, Chrome, Dolphin. Note for default Android browser users: I had to clear the cache before it worked ok] |

Quite a lot of enhancements, tweaks and development plans so I've blogged them all here with some highlights:- WFBattles.com update – enhancements, Warhammer stats highlights and things in development |

I've added Merry Slaughter (most enjoyable army match ups) and Chosen of the Dice Gods (luckiest winning armies) to the WFB Battlefields page [data taken from the Luck & Fun sliders on the Add Battle page] I think the pages make quite interesting reading – it gives me a chance to show off some of the army pics too :-) Vampires, Tomb Kings and Wood Elves are all quite close to the top when it comes to needing a little lady luck. Interestingly, the two top armies in the rankings (Warriors of Chaos and Dark Elves) present the favourite battle match up and it seems Lizardmen enjoy their games least, the best of which are battles against Daemons. Orcs and Goblins & Tomb Kings also make an appearance in the top 3 fun games which is somewhat surprising given that they are way down the list on the Army rankings page – maybe they're just happy gamers or simply enjoy the randomness of their armies – I'm thinking animosity, stupidity, fanatics, crumbling to dust and Tomb Scorpions that got lost :-) More info about the Battlefields page on the Battle Reporter blog.

I've added a new section to the Hobby Choices poll results page. It shows which army collectors own, paint, want, love, loathe and fear each other army. I've blogged the details with some observations here:- WFBattles – Army Collections (blogged) And here's the WFBattles page under the "Polls" section:- Member's Army Collections

I have updated the Members Roster page to give people the option of excluding those members from the Win% ranking who have not posted Battle Report links or Battle Notes when they added their battles. You have the option of setting your own qualifying criteria for Battle Notes which is set at a default of 500 characters [approx. 6 sentences] (see image below and read on) :- (1) Click the check box to only rank members who have posted a link or notes (2) Choose the number of characters written in the Battle Notes that you consider sufficient*
then hit <Enter> or <Tab> away from the characters text box
* add 1500 to the characters text box if you want to exclude all battles except those with Batrep links.
Please subscribe to this thread or this one to keep abreast of developments. |

We now have over 370 tournament battles (and 1,000+ friendlies) so I thought I'd add a filter to give visitors the option of checking out which armies perform best in tourneys or friendlies only (tourney's tend to be played by somewhat more experienced gamers and can distort the stats a bit – check out Bretonnia's position!)

I've restarted development work on WFBattles.com. Here are couple of quick updates:- I have added a filter to the Member's Roster page to allow visitors to see member Win% ranks by Tournament / Friendly or All Battles. See green ellipse in below image:-
I've added a section to the Battlefields page named Professional Mercenaries & Fun Foes.
It shows the armies listed in order of Fun and Skill (combined) and the enemy they demonstrate the most skill* against and had the most fun battling (where the result was a win or a draw). * skill is defined as requiring the least Luck (ie. 100 – Luck as recorded on the add Battle page) I've blogged about it in more detail here:- Professional Mercenaries & Fun Foes

I've added a new section to the ArmiesVs page which shows which armies are most active against which enemies for tournaments / friendlies or all battles. You can also filter out battles which don't include batrep links or extensive battle report notes (1,000+ characters). I've blogged about it in more detail on the Battle Reporter Blog (Warhammer Army vs Army analysis). I've also tidied up the ArmiesVs page by hiding the notes (which can be expanded by clicking "Expand Key") and by overriding the default sort for the grid columns so that they sort from high to low eg. best performing armies to worst (which, presumably is what people are most interested in seeing at the top) Next up, I'm adding Scenario choices (eg. Battleline, Watchtower, Blood & Glory etc) and a "Crushing Victory/Defeat" option to the Add Battle page.

I've added a filter to the WFB Army Vs Army page which enables you to select the Battle sizes (pt values) to include in the Army vs Army, Army Matrix and Battle Count tables (see below screenshots). It makes for quite interesting reading, the armies which do well in high points value battles are not necessarily the same as those that do well in smaller battles. For example:- High Elves, Lizardmen and Vampire Counts appear to perform somewhat better in lower points value games. I've also added a few new army avatars to the Add Battle page, I'll be using the same avatars in a new section on the Battles page so you can see the most highly rated battle reports that you haven't read yet. Army League table by pts value of battle
Army Matrix summary by pts value of battle
Battle Count by pts value
.
New avatars. Note: If you'd like to see your mini pics on the website please post here or contact me through Facebook (Franz Sigmar). They need to be of a similar standard to the other pics and I will credit you on Sigmar's Fantasy Battles Links & Credits page
