I remember the conception of this map... Glad to see it's still alive!!

Keep going fellas you're almost there!

C.

This suggestion is still the best suggestion that hasn't been realised on this site.

C.

Wooooo... This finally happened!!!

C.

I would, however, like to reiterate my desire to restrict the territory bonus to the land area (i.e. excluding the tech regions).

-Sully

Remember that doing this will complicate the XML a great deal...

It's not hard XML to write - just an extra lot of it... and there's always the (annoying ...

Shame to see a good map idea be dragged down and wasted by idiots and indifference.

C.

I love this idea...

The Yeti has spoken.

I dislike weakly typed languages.

You probably use anti bacterial spray every day too?!!?


Are you implying that people who dislike weakly typed languages are heavy and/or frequent users of disinfectants? If so, why?

More that people you dislike weakly typed languages don't live life anywhere ...

Came across this website the other day...

I didn't realise there were so many other risk sites out there...

Take that back... javascript is beautiful to code... there's no compiling or type checking or anything... awesome.

Let's assume BOB will be updated to show your spoils somewhere else.

The problem I see with this - is that the Highlight Hover of the card territory (which is a very useful feature to see if you have or are near a territory) - won't work... although that can be changed into a "Click jumper ...

Arms Race one is probably cos it can be attacked by the missile (and/or Spy) - and you can't tell who can attack you.

I'm not a moderator...

Classis responses though... once again nowhere close ontopicness what so ever at all...

Despite all of my responses trying to get the replies to well constructed arguments - aka ON topic...

If you had a point I'm sure that you would have some evidence as to where the ...

I'm really surprised that an intelligent person like yourself simply refuses to see that there can be an advantage. And then you turn it around implying that the players not missing a turn are lacking strategy skills if they get beaten. Ridiculous!

If this is where we are in the thread I ...

What is so hard to freaking understand? Just cuz you have never benefited from it does not mean others haven't. We are not saying it is a valid strategy or that everyone benefits from it or knows how to but there are circumstances that a missed turn does benefit the deadbeat.

I and others have ...

Really surprised as to why this hasn't been fasttracked.

C.

Well if you had any strategic sense what you say might actually carry weight.

It's a fact that people abuse the missed turn deferment and removes some incentive to not miss turns.

FOED. 98% turn taker. I bet thats why your defending it so vehemently.

But I agree. This should be locked.

Yep ...

None of these "opinion" are proven fact - face it your argument is void and you have no proof.

Suggest lock and bin - this thread is going nowhere.

C.

Yeti, if there are advantages to missing a turn specific to a card type, I'm sorry, but you'd have to respect the fact that an advantage exists.

Your argument is now completely invalid - you want to change a system that works for 99% of the game types in the system - but not for 1%...

This means ...

Stalemated 1v1 No spoils where your opponent is on the defensive. Miss two turns to force your opponent to devide his defenses equaly among the different borders, then place three turns worth of troops on the weakest border to create a decisive stack difference. If you don't miss a turn, your ...

Really?

What are these then?

C.

No one has yet proved the point that in the majority of cases missed turns = clear advantage to the turn misser(yes I just created a word, sorry grammar Nazis).

Since I started this suggestion, I feel compelled to come back to my own vomit once more.

I never said that there was a clear advantage ...

On the flip side - it would be a matter of 30 minutes work (if that) to rework all the XML and the game engine if it was necessary!!

C.

Probably a good idea - maybe on;y make it apply to Public games...

Any Tournie or Private game should stay.

C.

Generally the reasons for this - is because your strategy was poor and that you haven't prepared for your attack correctly...

Therefore I don't support this idea.
