Cities

[Black Jack]

Proposal: Add a variant, to be known as Cities, to the CC start your own game page.

When a player clicks on the Cities box, one (1) territory on each continent, will be designated as a City. This will be done randomly… with each new game. By doing so, it will prevent games from becoming stale and predictable.

The player who controls a city… will receive bonus armies. Players do not have to control the continent… to receive a city bonus.

The option to select the amount of the city bonus… should be made available to the player that is creating the game. I recommend that the city bonus be limited to one (1), two (2) or three (3) bonus armies.

The value selected will apply to all cities. Any bonus armies received for control of a city… will automatically be deployed in that city.

I would recommend this feature for use in No Cards games. IMO, if this feature is selected… the game should automatically be designated as a No Cards game.

Of course, this all depends upon how difficult it would be to program.

i tried something similar to that with my "forts" in the war of 1812 map...that map had no interest here so i canned it. I like the idea though.

cool idea, some cities will have lik 100 armies eventually in one of my games brazil had 357 armies and i won against it, by deadbeat... yay!

sounds intresting

would there also be a limit on who ends up with the cities in the initial placement.

For example, every player will start out with the same number of the, or no player will start with one. But i suppose if the troops were only placed on the city it would be toooo big of a deal.

Sounds cool. But I think you should be able to use it with escalating and flat rate cards as well. I only really play escalating cuz i dont like flat or no cards. But i would like to play with this variant.
