We can't exactly go around stickying every topic that comes by. Then people will probably just fill all the suggestion mods inbox's with PM's to sticky their suggestion, and this place will just turn into mass chaos.

Plus, you don't even have majority supporting the suggestion.

[Qwert]

lets go people, give these card option support

[MarshalNey]

so, as I understand it, you only receive troops if you own the spoil(s) being cashed. Non-owned region spoils receive nothing; and for owned regions, you receive no deploys but whatever number of troops you have on the region will be doubled.

Interesting.

Yes, it would mean a strategy of moving stacks around because of imminent cashes, but there's nothing wrong with that. In Nuclear spoils, we already have a setting where people are rearranging any stacks because of imminent cashes.

Definitely sounds like a unique option.

Stahrgazer has it exactly right, Double Trouble is essentially the "anti-Nuclear" type of spoil. I *love* Nukes because they focus on territory rather than random color-collecting. Territory-based spoils are something that plans can be made around. More strategic, less luck-based than Escalating or Flat Rate.

I fully support this idea.

[Qwert]

thanks for support, yes its like nuclear,but instead to lost,you will get double armies on that territory what you card posses- In nuclear you try to remove your troops out,here will strategy be to regroup all yours troops on that territory,and if you dont have these territory, you will try to save cards and try to secure these territory who will give you more troops. New and unique card settings, like you say,its will be based on strategy. In flat rate, who first cash,they get advantage, and here these can not be advantage,because its all depend on territory what you hold. These will be even more interesting if you play with fog,because you can not see what your opponent get after using of cards.

[Victor Sullivan]

For some reason, I thought this spoils option was something completely different. I fully support this now. Like MarshalNey said, focusing on the territory is a lot cooler than random colors and cashes.

Wait, nevermind, I just got confused... My bad, sorry.

[JoshyBoy]

Seems like an unfeasible idea. Take this as an example. I'm playing [player]eddie2[/player], [player]tdans[/player], and [player]JukeBox[/player] in a standard game with these new type of spoils on Feudal War. It's round 10, I am on Rebel with 5 cards, of which I own none of the territories. So I cash and get nothing. Now [player]eddie2[/player], cashes in a set and owns two of them, one including his castle which has a stack of 35 on it. Now he has 70 troops on his castle and I have nothing. He laughs and moves his troops forward for his next turn. Then tdans cashes in 3 of his 5 cards which luckily or him doubles his stack from 110 to 220, and his castle from 30 to 60. He then goes on to take out [player]JukeBox[/player], who has 5 cards, of which she owns 3 of them. Luckily or tdans, one of them is Imperial Dynasty 4, where he left his stack of 175 on his way over to kill her. He cashes in and doubles those troops again to finish the game.

[Qwert]

well,you can not look these in that way- because if you look on nuclear spoil,then you can use these excuses to not accept nuclear spoils, but they are implemented.
With nukes,can be same situation-you have set,but not kill your opponents,and eddie2 hit with hes set-yours two territory,and then tdans kill anoter one,and jike box,with hes set target your last territory and you are out. And these scenario realy can hapened, and nobody think that these is bad. These set can have much positive sides then negative,like nuklear spoils.

[Mr_Adams]

what happens when you have 2 of the same card (like on certain very small maps, such as lux and doodle earth)? do you get x•4? (x•2•2)

Those numbers sound like feudal on escalating...

It has happened to me. Playing Doodle Earth with 8 players, and we all had 4 cards. I cashed killing off 2 players, now I have 9 cards. I cashed another set and pegged off another player, now I have 10 cards. That's over 50% of the board I have, and there are still 4 other players with 4 cards, which totals 16. So 16+my 10 = 26. There are only 18 territories on Doodle EArth. I ended up cashing Andy's Mountain's twice in the same go. It's proven in a log.

[Qwert]

well its these hepend tvice, then these can hepend in nuclear also, and i dont see why will these be a problem?
And these only can hepend in very small maps, and you have over 170 maps, and 95% of maps are eligible for these card set for play normaly.

[Mr_Adams]

but my question is how would this 5% of maps be effected? I have personally seen people cash 2 of the same card on doodle in the same cash, just because they happened to kill off the person with their card. what do you do with this?

[Qwert]

well, they will effect like now,in all games with escalating,flat rate,or nuklear in these small maps.
For example,i whas in many doodle,or luxembourg games, where i dont even manage to cash spoils in escalating games,where everything are finish very fast, and what i can do? Can i say,that these maps not suitabile for escalating? No, because some people like to risk with these card options, and everybody need to get there right to decide what they want to play, and you or me,can not decide what they need to play- final decision its on individual player,and he decide what its suitabile for hem.

[Mr_Adams]

I'm not saying don't implement it. it's a fine idea! But what happens in this situation? Does the bonus effect the territory twice, or just once? if you turn two cards for a territory, as we have established is, in fact, possible, is it •2 or •4. That's all I want to know!
