Spoils Suggestion

I have a suggestion for a spoils option: A TRUE flat rate spoils, where every time you cash in you get the same number of troops, no matter the color. For instance: 3 of one color or 3 different would equal 6 spoils. Too many times a game can completely be turned around on a flat-rate map because someone gets lucky with 10 card spoils. I realize that luck is a large part of conquer club, but strategy can completely get erased in a heads-up game or team game where someone gets a ten card early on.

I realize there is a no spoils option, but I like playing games where attacking and not massing is still rewarded, but not just rewarded by random.

A good suggestion. I play almost exclusively no-spoils currently, but would prefer that setting to no-spoils.

I think that this suggestion is already on Lack's "To-do" list, if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks for your suggestion. A few variations on this have been suggested before. I'm pretty sure that the Real Flat Rate Option is exactly what you're suggesting.

Having said that the New Flat Rate suggestion is very similar.

Also of interest may be the change FLAT RATE bonuses and Cards -- somewhere between Flat Rate and No Cards suggestions.

Please continue relevant discussion in whichever of those 4 coincides with your preference. :)
