The secret army

what is the secret army? the secret army is one troop you can put in watever you want only need to be in your territories.
what is so special in that ? the special is when you put then in your stack , you stack will change to neutral color but still yours and your opponent dont know if that troops are neutral troops or your troops , thats the funny , you can stay in you opponent castle (feudal example) barb 6 and he dont see you .

this special army can be deployed every turn , or only one time in the beghining and moved with the rest of the stack ,
if your opponent kill the stack with the army , your special army die and never more come back in that game ,
in maps with a lot of neutrals is gonna be fun play with this opption , imagine a surprise attack :D , or a spy .


please help me with your ideas and with your english :roll: ;)

PS: you can only use this troop with fog of war

I like it! What about a bomb you can bury in one of your territories at the beginning of the game and then you can detonate it any time you want?

being a fan of advance wars i enjoyed the traps in their fog of war mode.

how much impact with a single army have on the game? To me, this seems like more of a guise to avoid elimination. but imagine assassin games where you had to kill all the neutrals just to find your target's last army. maddening!!! :D

interesting concept. i think i like the bomb idea a bit better.

I think the idea is to have all your armies on one territory be neutral weather that be 1 or 100 but im not sure

No offense, but wouldn't it be obvious that your troops aren't neutrals if you had more than three hiding on a territory? The only time I can think this would be helpful is when someone is kicked out of a game leaving uneven amount of neutrals throughout the map.

Hmm, good point.

I do really like this idea though. Thought I would give it a nudge up and see if anyone else likes the sound of it.

i thought it would just appear as a regular "3" if that 3 is attacked and conquered, then you lose those men. I like the bomb idea also

Interesting. So are you saying that a stack of 130 could appear as a neutral 3? What happens in the event that someone attacks that neutral 3? Are they attacking 130 unawares or just 3?

After the first attack it should be revealed.
How about instead of pretending to be neutral 3, they pretend to be neutral 50% of what is really on the square(or some other percentage).

just the 3.

It would be such a huge fail to lose 130 armies if someone takes over a 3 neutral, that it would be super fun to play

This would not work, as then you would know which neutral is the stack. Example, a Standard game on Classic, No Fog of war, there is a stack of 45 neutrals. No-one has been kicked. It would be far too obvious.

That is a superb idea. As if CC didn't give me enough reason to punch my monitor already. :lol:

This gets the thumbs up from me.
