Trench Warfare

[Keredrex]

love this idea. gonna try it soon. ......
any possibility of unlimited Adjacent Fortifications... the ability to fortify troops from any one territ to an adjacent territ... but instead of just once... you can do it for any territory that has troops. each territ would only be able to move to one adjacent territ and both territs involved would be locked off, that way you can't leap frog troops as if it were chained. just a thought

sorry i still do not see the thing with stalemates i can see it could be possible but to get yourself into that kind of situation means you have not played the best strategy for the setting.

[codierose]

or all your opponents are playing the best strategy happened to me many of times in a 3 player game or when theres 3 players left reason why i like round limits

+1. We have been playing those games for years with the honour rules, and any deadlock we found was in fact a temporal one. If you see a "stalemate" its more likely because both players have trully similar skill levels.

And which map has only 1 border that divides two equally reinforced areas?

[Kaskavel]

you dont need one. Can happen with 2 or 3. I dont say trench is bad, I like it. I just say it adds a new senario.

[Extreme Ways]

I like CM when beginning last with AA or AoR3 with AA when spawning on Xi and Figye

Still a good feature.

[Roussallier]

Sweet, I'm going to have to try this! Awesome addition.

[Victor Sullivan]

Sweet, I'm going to have to try this! Awesome addition.

"Awesome" doesn't do it justice. We need a new word... Kerflafflinall. Yes, this is a kerflafflinall addition.

I think Trench Warfare actually mimics the kind of gameplay I usually employ in my games anyways...haha.

awesome, so many new tactic options, but almost all games starts and ends in dice lucky of course before dice, you can loss your game due to not equal drop, but it is "nice" to imagine that new options can make this game more tactical lets continue draeaming more

Definitely is nice to see a new feature introduce some new tactics and strategy into the mix.

It's jut like Risk here in Brazil where they took the game and worsened the rules and created the more inbalanced game ever. Defence plays whith 3 dices and all. It's called "WAR".


It's risk so it may be good after all.

[Great-Ollie]

Got my silver medal already am i first?

[chapcrap]

Got my silver medal already am i first?

Yes.

[Swifte]

Got my silver medal already am i first?

Based on there currently being 44 Trench Warfare medals awarded to 43 people, I would guess that yes, you are first to silver. Congrats! Go for the Gold Ollie!

[eddie2]

balls you just beat me.

[AndyDufresne]

Oooh, nice work! Is Ollie on the fast track now to getting gold, or will someone else swoop in?


--Andy

[trinicardinal]

eddie's trying to give him a run for his money... especially since Ollie beat him to silver

[codierose]

is the medal going to be added to map rank

[Swifte]

is the medal going to be added to map rank

From the MapRank thread...

is there gonna be a competition running to support the new trench feature?

I haven't heard about one, and considering that it will be quite easy to add, and the response to the previous competition was not huge, I would be surprised if a new competition were to be held for this.

Emphasis added... sounds like it should be an easy change to maprank... so hopefully, yes.

After playing a number of these games I have to say I think it makes for entirely crappy and one-sided games.

It may not be a stellar 1vs1 setting (which all of your 16 games seem to be), but with even 3 players (and more probably) it is quite fun I think. Try it again, this time with a few more players.

Agreed. The drop and first turn are even further emphasized in [strike]Adjacent Attacks[/strike] Trench Warfare for 1v1 games. It's more balanced in teams games, and particularly the "starting point" maps become very interesting with multiple players.

Try an 8-player on Feudal Epic.

[OliverFA]

Yes. 8p Feudal Epic or 8p New World are full of strategy and enjoyment.
