Single deployment of initial troops

Concise description:
  • A deployment turn consists of a deployment of only one troop

Specifics/Details:
  • The first few turns of the game are dedicated to deployment. On your turn you can deploy only one troop, and then wait for the others to deploy their troop, and so on...

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • This opens up a whole new phase to the game. A kind of "pre-game" which involves a lot of strategy.

    I searched and couldn't find this suggestion, though it's hard for me to believe it was never suggested

just a few remarks.
We currently have the manual deployment where you can freely deploy your troops without your opponent seeing your placement.
If just as an example, you can deploy on hive's 1 vs 1, you get more the 500 troops. The deployment face alone van then take 3 years.. are you serious?

While it could be fun in a real-time setting, it would be absolutely rediculious in a casual game.

i have played my golden share of speed games. trust me, i am never ever going to join an 8 player random speedgame again. it takes half an hour per round, and thats if you are lucky!!!.
figuring in manual deployment on any type of scale would be... idiotic.
also i cannot see this work with freestyle
