Haphazard Spoils

Concise description:
Cashing a set a spoils gets you 4/6/8/10 troops

Specifics/Details:
The troops received are not linked to the colour of the cards. It is a randomly selected amount of 4, 6, 8 or 10 troops.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
It will add another element to gameplay.

This would likely appeal to those who play Flat Rate games but are wanting to mix things up a bit as you will not be assured of the troops you receive like you are with Flat Rate spoils.

You know how much it'd suck to have to wait til 5 card to get 4 troops when someone else gets 10 in 3 cards?

Never would I play this.

that already happens in Flat Rate games if the 5th spoil gave you a red set and your opponent got a rainbow set after 3.

I like the concept as it adds another level of uncertainty to games.

i feel that this is basically flat rate. seeing as the colours are random, we don't know if we'll get a red, blue, green, or multicoloured set.

This is an anti-strategic idea. In other words, this suggestion does not add a strategic element in any way. Even nuclear spoils, crappy as that idea is, has a strategic idea. This is just randomized luck added on top of what we already have in the way of randomized luck.
