Eliminate Unlimited Forts!

I feel like unlimited fortifications really changes the game dramatically, and for the worse. I'm talking here mostly about 1 vs 1 games, or team games with only 2 teams. In these games, there is an advantage to going first, and this advantage is exaggerated, dramatically, by unlimited fortifications, to the point that the game often seems all but decided before the second player/team has even taken a turn.

Eliminate unlimited fortifications I say!

Discuss.

As far as 1 vs 1 games go, I agree that it gives a pretty unfair advantage to the player who goes first. I don't agree that it does in teams games with only 2 teams however. I've won plenty of team games where my team went second and we were playing with unlimited fortifications.

It all depends entirely upon who you are playing and how well they know this game.

i'm rolling with "he's who name shall not be spoken", and taking C. you don't have to play unlimited if you don't want to play unlimited. i mean, if you eliminate that, why not freestyle since some people feel others gain unfair advantages. thank you for your concern about my CC well being. however, i do not feel that unlimited fortification is a threat to my person.-0

Nobody's whining, I'm just throwing it out there for discussion, curious to see how others feel about it...in which case I'd have thought that General Discussion was the proper forum. I never for a minute thought that the option would be eliminated, so it doesn't really qualify as a suggestion per se.

I understand that it's an option, although you kinda' have to play it if you wanna' join tournaments.

It's as dumb thread as "dice sucks" :roll:
Everybody knows that in 1v1 it adds more luck than it usually involves.

If you don't like it, don't play with it. It's an option.
Option is the power or right of choosing.

Choose not to play with it. And leave others the right to choose it for playing ;)

So you want to take away freedom of choice...I few ppl have tried this in the past...Ford motor company being one of the first to make this mistake.In the early 1900's Henry Ford said you can have a Model T,any color as long as its black....Then Sloane of the Gm motor company said you can have his cars in any colour.The rest is history..Ford never got control of the vehicle market again.GM still control it to this day...All because he gave ppl the freedom of choice.
Yep your idea is PANTS!...Plus its in the wrong subject.

I must be doing something wrong. I seem to win more when the opponent takes the first turn in this style of game.

Not going to happen. It's your choice whether to play it or not.

Can we have get freestyle chess as an option and with double and triple settings?

We could checkmate them before they take a turn!
