Talk:Arimaa

Just curious as to how this is a complete book if it has a redlink in it. XOnlyHalfEvol 03:07, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

It is definitely not a complete book; even some of the pages that are present aren't complete. --Fritzlein (talk) 15:51, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Maybe you could include a section about how to set up the pieces at the start of the game? Xerxes b (talk)

IM going to add a section called Opening. I think enough time has progressed that we can create an opening book. 99.9.240.146 (discuss) 02:12, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Featured or not?
Is this book currently considered a Featured Book or not? It's listed at WB:FB but does not appear to be categorized as such. 87.106.79.175 (talk) 07:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Translation...
Hello. I'm translating the book in French, but I can't make the "arimaa diagram". Can you help me, please? Domsau2 (discuss • contribs) 20:26, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Arimaa Public License
Must the Chapter "Playing The Game" adhere to the "The Arimaa Public License"? I would answer this question with yes at the moment. If so, this probably wouldn't be compatible to the CC-BY-SA 3.0, would it? Just a thought for whom it might concern. Regards, Axel --HirnSpuk (discuss • contribs) 11:36, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Chapter order
Even did it comprehensively cover the topic, I would prefer to put Arimaa/Advanced Tactics after the strategic stuff. As it stands, however, that page isn't very useful anyway, since it lacks examples. Risteall (discuss • contribs) 13:25, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
 * There's never going to be a perfect order, but since the Wikibook starts with basic tactics, it seems illogical to hold off on advanced tactics until (almost) the end. Note that the Advanced Tactics chapter gives the principal explanation of repetition fights, which is a fairly important concept. Belteshazzar (discuss • contribs) 14:52, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It seems logical to me. Perhaps the repetition fight section could be trimmed and moved earlier; I didn't originally intend it as an introduction, but rather as a place to talk about ko fights and such, although I never did so. Risteall (discuss • contribs) 20:07, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * What prompted me to move Advanced Tactics back to its old spot was that its lede (even before my edits) sounded like it was coming right after an exploration of basic strategy. Belteshazzar (discuss • contribs) 20:37, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Introduction to Tactics should come before anything about strategy. Goals and captures are foundational. Introduction to Tactics and Introduction to Strategy could be moved to the top. Perhaps "Strategy I" could become "Concepts" (and include Advanced Tactics), and "Strategy II" could become "Game phases". Belteshazzar (discuss • contribs) 21:01, 10 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I don't think "game phases" is a good title, but I can't think of better. The division is probably pointless without the topbox, but I haven't given up on that. Risteall (discuss • contribs) 05:42, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
