Conquer Club

Alright here's a type of game that I've recently played in real life, I think with a few tweaks that it would be a good style of game for CC. Let me know what you think. I'm still trying to think of a name for this style, so i'm open to sugestions about that too.

I was thinking that this style would be good for either more players or tournement

This version of the game should only be played if you consider standard world domination CC to be far too short a game! You can play double-Earth CC, triple-CC Risk or even-higher-ple Earth CC.

For n-ple Earth CC, The boards are positioned side by side, and Kamchatka on Earth 1 links to Alaska on Earth 2, etc., and Kamchatka on board n links back to Alaska on board 1. You use the playing pieces from all n sets, and start with n times as many armies as usual. (This can lead to some huge heaps of armies initially, but if you do pile them up, that means you're very weak elsewhere ... things soon even out a bit.) Each pack of cards is shuffled and dealt independently for each board, so you have (roughly) the same number on countries on each board to start with, but once the game has begun all n packs are shuffled together. When it comes to trading in cards, it's entirely up to the individual player which Earth each card corresponds to, so (for example) if you hold Iceland on two of the boards, and trade in the Iceland card, you can put your two bonus armies on whichever of those two Icelands you prefer. To win, a player must conquer all n Earths. Bonus reinforcements for holding a continent work as usual (ie. you need hold only one North America (not all n) to get those reinforcements), and you can claim continental reinforcement bonuses for the same continent from more than one board (eg. if you hold two South Americas and an Autralasia you can claim 6 bonus armies).

While that's a fun game to play in real life I think it would be very difficult on CC. The main problem is that the map would be enormously long horizontally. Which would make it appear very short vertically and everything would be hard to read.

ya I was thinking about that, if it was done here it would probonly only have 2 boards

The idea is bad, but there is another one, much more interesting, about have a world map with 120 countries or sort of...

I think this would be a lot of work to program - the cost exceeds the benefit. You could get a similar effect by making a big map, as Marv suggests.

Yeah, I think to make it work you would need to just draw a map with two classics next to each other instead of creating a mode for it. But I suppose that wouldn't work because you wouldn't be able to have countries with the same names in two locations on here unless the programming is changed (I'm assuming).

I think its good for home play since its hard to make an actual game board and combining two is the best way to play a game with a lot of countries. however on here it would be better to just make a map with 80-120 countries if you wanted a huge one, because then it could be original, have sensible dimensions, and it would work with the current programming.

and from my experience on other sites big maps are boring, and not very fun.

yeah, i mean there slow and crap really

I like Marvs suggestion.

yeah i spose ill give it a fair go but thats if it can be done?

I like big maps. Completely different game, especially in no card or fixed rate because they would take so long. You invest a lot of time into those games and actually care a good amount about the outcome. Also, it would lead to escalating games that actually last beyond 10 or so turns.

yeah it'll last like 90 rounds....lol

thanks for the feedback everyone (except for those who said it sucked) i'll just keep this type of game to the realworld.

But i have a couple more ideas, you will see those soon

hopefully really soon, cant wait to see

I'm in a game on a big map on another site that has been going for over 3 months.

Its says login........and i aint got a landgrab acount

I played a game against 5 computer players for over a week playing for multiple hours a day. It was 120 countries and escalating, but took ridiculously long (especially when you consider the computer automatically takes its turns when I am done)

and i was just getting proud of u not linking this site to landgrab.

That's nothing, game 26963 here has been going for 2 months now also (I went 16 turns without conquering a territory, it wasn't fun). And there are longer ones here too, not sure which but I've heard of them.

Also W@W has had games going for over a year.

If u want a long game play circus maximus, sequential, no cards, it doesnt end.
