Partisan spoils

by **D3A7H** on Thu Aug 03, 2017 3:27 pm

A spoils option like zombie that would switch territories to your possession if a spoil for that territory is redeemed.

Any troops on the territory held by an opponent would switch sides when the spoil for that territory is played.
If the territory is already held you would still get the 2 unit bonus. (I know some one will suggest making those territories turn neutral but that would just be a variation of zombie.)

This would add an another layer of strategy especially in trench and/or parachute reinforce games.

I thought the idea was somewhat different. +2 if you own it and -2 if the other team owns it. That seems cool and won't totally change a game.

What i the territory had less than three on it? Switching existing troops is the way to go here.

Spoils with fragments of player names on them. Once you can spell and play someone's name, they're eliminated.

Is this where suggestions go to die?

If this is the suggestions forum than yes it is. Don't rush it. It is a slow death.

I like this idea.

How about spoils that slowly change your identity. You can swap troops, territories, other spoils, avatars, usernames, nationalities and IRL family members.

JK, it's a great idea, and could replace zombie spoils.

It's poop. Having a stack of troops zombified is a hit, but having it transferred into the control of another player would be instant death more often than not.

That's probably why Death has popped up to take part in this thread.

i started this thread mrswdk. sorry you don't like the idea.

by **mrswdk** on Sun Aug 06, 2017 8:31 am

Exactly. This suggestion is like a Wall Street banker saying 'I think the government should cut regulation on Wall Street'. You have a vested interest in industrial-scale slaughter. Neutrality = 0

It's just a game mrs. not Tiananmen Square.

When troops switch sides they defect. Call it defection. More accurate term.

Parisians hinder enemy troops by nipping at troop numbers here and there. See Red Dawn movie.

You see the kind of mind we're dealing with there.

by **D3A7H** on Mon Aug 07, 2017 3:24 pm

mrs. yes i do.

hitred. the name could be alot of things, rebel insurgent revolutionary, freedom fighter etc.

IMO adding more and more options and weird gameplay maps is exactly why this website is going downhill. People don't want to trawl through dozens of games in game finder trying to find a good game among all the 'poly zombie fog waterloo' game, they just want to play risk.

Well I'll be damned. Hell must have frozen over. I agree with something mrswdk said. Somebody call me a doctor.

by **D3A7H** on Tue Aug 08, 2017 7:45 pm

You're a doctor.
Actually i sort of agree with that as well.

I like the idea, could be fun

by **DJENRE** on Thu Oct 19, 2017 7:44 am

Hello it could be fun,
You could think that if you hold the territory, it turns to the opponent instead another thing.
If opponent hold your spoil, it turns to you.

I suggested similar idea. But it is slightly different than the original idea.
Instead flipping the color of whole stack a random percentage of initial stack will stay on map with flipped color.

this was deaths original thread
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=224212&p=4960956&hilit=+spoils#p4960956

make idea specific; divide by 3 round down , so 1 and 2=neutral
3-5 = 1 flip , 6-8 = 2 flip etc

nice

I like the sound of this. It's clear and simple.

The implementation would not be that straightforward or quick though as I expect everyone will want to see medals, tournaments etc. to go with it.
