I was told about the territory alcatraz on the one map, where it can be attacked but does not attack itself.
My question/suggestion, is it possible for this territory that can be attacked/not attack itself to provide vision to other territories?
So imagine maps with starting points. What I want to do, is have a territory somewhere on the map, and if you take it, it is like a spy station. You take territory x, territory X does not attack, but gives vision of Territory Y which could be 20 territories away, or 4 territories away, doesn't matter.
Can this be done? Obv fog games.
Now, if this can be done, can it be done where I take this spy station and any of the following happen:
We want to know if the starting point is occupied or empty... but not who owns it. So instead of ? we don't know anything, it turns to ! which just means, alert! some one is here. Or ? ! ... @ miss, the @ sign becomes way of saying, nope this starting point is empty. But all these symbols are white.
We want to know if its occupied and if it is, who owns it? So it goes from ? to a ! with a colour ! in blue... blue is there! But no identifying quantity of troops is the main point.
Then, to full vision. Take a territory, and it just plain tells you.. yep blue is here, 6 troops, but I can't attack it, I just know.
but from here! maybe we have a thing that tells you yep, starting point is 6 troops red, andddd it gives you ! ! ! ! markers in colour, of regions he has adjacent to 6 troop starting point, so you know what he took from his starting point adjacent.
This is my question. And if it can't be done. My suggestion.
Spice up our fog games.
edit: so if this is already in place, like a map on cc already has that, then that is an answer to my question.. and cool.
if i have to further argue for its merit: well picture team game, or standard 8 player game. in standard 8 player game, map makers can take classic styled maps like world 2.1, classic map, and add on a spread of territories which players can take to "spy" on whats happening on different parts of the board they've lost sight of... and just keep tabs of things.
btw, I also want it to be, that territory X gives vision to multiple territories, but I think I said that, x shows territory a b c d e f g h. If necessary or desired. Imagine a map like the senate map, with just four-8 additional territories, and all they do, is give vision to a handful of territories... its not worth a bonus, it just tells you.. this is how things are in places you can't see.
Now the objection might come... wait! its a fog game! you aren't suppose to know! ... and that is true. But this is sneaky. and tricky. And fun
just another level to add to the risk experience of cc.
It will becomes its own size marker. Hive is large. This one is Gigantic. Maybe. It might be smaller and still qualify as large. I have not made it.
