[GP] Wild Cards in Deck

[wolfpack0530]

Bump it up.

Gotta have the wild cards. I think that the WC most important feature is that if you have 5 cards, you can almost certainly cash two turns in a row. This goes really far strategy wise, because you may take your turn very differently if you know you will be able to cash this turn and next turn, versus the uncertainty you will get that card you need for next turn.

If people dont like them, just make it an option like fog of war

i suspect that having a cannon, infantry and cavalry image would be a copyright issue, but i think the wild card would good although i find that when iam desperate for a set its generally too late.

FYI: I posted this suggestion in Issue 10 of the CC Newsletter

Or map makers could design decks so for example in a flat rate a certain territ would never be drawn, such as US army and Bathist in Battle For Iraq!

This could quite easily (and probably should be) an extension to the XML.

But - that's the luck of the draw on that map - you never know - those 3 on those loyalties could come in useful one day!?!?

Hear hear. But don't make it too had to learn.

When handing them in though, you'd have to choose which colour you want to hand it in as. I like the idea of no troop bonus because wildcards are too awesome already.

Is this idea dead?

If you're referring to the "pending" tag, that refers to a way that the Suggestions Forum was organized a while ago. Now that we have the Archived Rejected Suggestions Forum, any idea that is here can't really be said to be "pending" cuz it's been rejected. I'm going to go change the title of the first post to get that out of there.
