I'm obviously in favor.

are you in favour of merging

The ability to move each stack to an adjacent region

• It like a combination of adjacent reinforcements and trench warfare

Specifics/Details:

• The reinforcement phase starts off with the list of your available stack sizes on each region, exactly like the list you see now before you make your first reinforcement.
• We could also limit the list to only those stacks that had not just captured a region, they already moved one region that round!
• Each reinforcement can only be made to an adjacent region, like trench warfare attacks.
• We are doing this already for the attack phase of a trench game. We track the initial list of troop locations, and allow each troup to make single attacks to adjacent regions.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• Would be more like traditional warfare, prior to unlimited air drops, where each army group moved independently each round.

Adjacent is already hardly used, this would split that fan base making games with either setting very difficult to fill.

[PapaGeek]

The reason adjacent is rarely used is because it is so difficult to manage multiple fronts, you can only reinforce one at a time! By the time you get one front reinforced, the reinforcements for the other front is far behind the action.

The purpose of this change would be to allow you to maintain multiple fronts without the wide open movement of unlimited or the long distance single moves of chained.

It would mimic WWI trench warfare. Each unit can make small moves each round.

unlimited adjecent.... mmm.
sounds better then adjecent, so if they were to upgrade adjecent to this, i would be happy enough with it. as it stands i dont use adjecent unless i want to mess with someone.lol
as far as suggestions go, this is not a bad one, but its not good enough i think
reasons it wont get through the list:
too many options already.
it would be (even more) difficult for new players to understand how this works
it brings new problems like differentiating between moved troops and already standing troops (real killer this)
so overall it wont do.

but my point remains. this would split the Adjacent fan base.

suggestions have been made to 'improve' Adjacent to increase its popularity and this would be a viable improvement but not as an additional setting.

MERGED: Trench Reinforcements!

OK... now it is making more sense.
still not sure I would use it for much more than messing with an opponents head though...

I would disagree with this to a degree. I can see come adjacent fans switching from adjacent to this, but I can also see this new way winning new fans from chained and unlimited. I know that I would like this over chained.

I've always liked this setting idea just because it's more 'realistic.' You can fort all troops from one territ to one nearby. When you're thinking about actual warfare, moving all armies to any other territ (unlimited) and moving just one group of armies (chained, adjacent) seem like they should be the additional gameplay options after this setting.

Concise description:

• When I play conquerclub, I often visualize myself as a general advancing troops to defeat my opponents (well, usually they end up defeating me). However, due to the current reinforcements used (usually unlimited reinforcments), the realistic rules of war are violated as one can instantly teleport troops from one side of the world/map/continent to another. While this may occur in Star Trek, this is unrealistic. At the other extreme, the player is limited to move armies on one territory to an adjacent territory (Adjacent reinforcments), but neglect moving all other territories on the map. To overcome this, chained reinforcement was created to allow a middle-of-the-road approach.

Specifics/Details:

• I propose the implementation of Unlimited Adjacent Reinforcements. So yes, army movement is limited, but you can move all armies every turn one space, as they could do in real battle. Is this feasible from a programming perspective? I have no idea. But as General of my troops on any given map, it is the most realistic option and one I would like to play.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• I believe this would add more realistic play. Thank you for the opportunity to present my idea

I very much agree with you.

This proposal, however, already exists.

[In B4 merge, as the saying goes.]

[Kaskavel]

And it is an obvious one. Strange that bizarre suggestions like fog, trench etc have been implimended, but this obvious one has not yet

Great success. Merged.
