No. you can bomb it down to 1, you can keep bombing it once its at 1 and it will stay at 1, BUT you dont get a card unless you TAKE it. Thats all Im saying.
Kotaro wrote:So, if bombarding a neutral is a "unfair strategy", I believe that trading off 1's in an 8 way escalating is the same way. The 1 can't defend itself, and it's just going back and forth to build cards. I want a script to stop this too, it's unfair to those that don't know it.

The term "spoils" is the result of a renaming -- it used to be "cards" until a copyright scare swept through. Either way, I beg to differ; the word "spoils" does indeed apply to a non-occupied region -- in the context of THIS GAME. Game designers can use any words they want for their brand language and have them mean whatever they want.
That's like 'disputing' the language and iconography they use for rankings and medals.

Unfortunately those are oranges we are talking about apples. The person your going back and forth as well as yourself have to worry about the other deciding to stop it and plow thru that contested territory as well as conquer your territory. Poor old neutral has to take in the pooper and like it while you "safely" bombard them into pseudo-oblivion repeatedly.
* EDIT *
Also while your doing this, someone could come up to your contested territory and mess it up for you both. Your not behind a wall of n10s your in the open where you suspect to attacks from others.
Kotaro wrote:Same difference. You're talking about 1's being too little a risk to be worth a card; they're too little in one game, but not another? And you want to change the whole gameplay system of the bombard, based on your obvious lack of knowledge of one map? And what about other maps. There's Waterloo. New World. Duck and Cover (or something like that). Each one can do the same thing, yet you're basing your entire weak argument off of one map.
Let me guess. Someone recently schooled you in Feudal War, and you were just so angry, you came here to make this topic. And being behind neutrals has nothing to do with it, you're just an angry young person who lost a game.
What next? Going to get screwed by dice and come make a topic about making the dice less random?.

Can you walk me thru what would happen on a game with 6 people doing the same build-up strategy on Feudal War?
Is the last person who decides to break out win? How many turns happen before that happens? 5? 10? 15?
Educate me on the pros and cons of this strategy.
I understand you need to build up forces some times to attack, but its ConquerClub not ColdWarClub. There have been thousands of games were "good strategy" was just exploits used by everyone because if you did anything but exploit your chances of winning were nil to none.
If its still considered strategy, its stagnant, slow and unimpressive. It should be removed for more dynamic, fast paced strategies. Granted games are is just numbers and dice, so maybe its the only option.
Bombarding neutral's with 1 army should bring up and error, unless spoils actually means spoils which means you would need to occupy the territory to pickup the leftovers of your enemies you defeated.

Is there an example that you can use to explain it to me then? Or know someone I can talk to about it?

lancehoch wrote:The original intent was to develop a different gameplay feature. I am not sure of what the first map to utilize bombardment was, it was before I joined the site. I think that the feature works exactly how people wanted it to work. If you look at the Waterloo map, the Duck & Cover map, or the Arms Race! map, bombardment makes sense with the nature of the territories. Waterloo has artillery which cannot attack short-range targets, but you cannot advance into a a long range territory from an artillery outpost. Duck & Cover uses planes dropping bombs on far away territories; Arms Race! has nuclear weapons destroying a territory. It does not follow that you would be able to capture a territory using these type of territory dynamics, but you would be able to destroy enemy troops that are there. Another map that has somewhat similar dynamics is King of the Mountain, but this uses helicopters which can "land" at other helipads and at the tops of the mountains. These dynamics are different and I believe that bombardment is a perfect solution.

The same should be done with bombard. Yay I annihilated the army, do I go occupy and get spoils or do I sit back and bombard again later?

At last.... you admit to the loophole.
