Help to attack a big stack in a region without conquer it

Specifics/Details:
I often play games where players get big stacks of troops (crusades, napoleonic, rome). I like, maybe I'm not alone, to attack this big stacks but not conquer it, in order not to be attacked by an adjacent stack. But it is very long to attack 300 vs 250 without conquer. I suggest to have a new option :
- Assault
- Auto assault
- Moderate Assault (or other better term).
This moderate assault would be an auto-assault which stops automatically when the defender region has only three troops.


How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
Click 150 times on "Assault" is not good, especially when the computer or servor is overcharged.


Thanks for reading and sorry for the english of a funny french

See you in another game.

I saw your different propositions and I like them too.
Just be careful not to complicate the game with conditionnal attack.

chapcrap, you said it was proposed before. What was the problem ?

As we know, dice are bitches/godly at times.

Say you have 10 and opponent has 10. Then I put I want to lose 0 and him to lose 10. If coded improperly, I'd absolutely annihilate.
One solution is to roll first then check, but again there are still problems.

Just a thought.

The other way said that if you have a stack of, say 200, then you could say that you want to auto attack to a certain troop count, like down to 100 troops.

Is that some sort of plug-in that you've made? I've never seen anything like it, but I wouldn't imagine that it would be difficult or impossible to program something like that.

• The current limits are to attack until either the defender is down to 0 or the attacker has only 2 or 3 remaining.

• Add a setting or separate option to allow the attacker to change the end points of an auto-assault
• Another method of doing this would be to set up two limited engagement setting in preferences so we could set them to something like stop when defender has 10 or we have 50, or whatever we choose.
• Then have another button for limited engagement.
• The other option is to preset these numbers to something we all agree to. Just the ability to reduce huge stacks down to reasonable smaller numbers, then do single assaults to get to where we want would be a huge help.

• There are many cases where I want to knock down the size of a stack that is facing me, but I don’t want to reduce it to zero and advance 1 to give my opponent the opportunity of an easy card.
• When this happens I have to single attack until the result I want is visible. When the attack is for escalating games and the stacks are 1,200 vs 950, this takes a huge number of single assaults.

• The ability to assault until either attacker or defender falls below a specified value

• Right now we have two options: assault and auto assault
• Add a third option for a “limited assault” and a field where you can specify how far you want to reduce the troop counts.

• In an escalating game you sometimes find yourself in a situation of over a thousand troops facing over a thousand troops.
• You don’t want to destroy the stack facing you and leave an easy small stack that the other player can re-take to get a card.
• You want to reduce his stack to just a few so he can’t continue his assault on you.
• Doing so now require hitting the assault button hundreds of times until the opposing stack is down to the level you want.
• It would be nice to “auto-assault” until either you or your attacker is down to, let’s just say 10 troops, or whatever level you choose. The attack would automatically stop when either of you reach the 9 or 10 level.
• If a user defined limit is difficult, maybe we could have a button or two with limits set by the ops, maybe 25 and or 10.
• From that point it would only take a few clicks of the assault button to zero in on the level you want.

That's not nearly the same as what he's suggesting though...
You could attack 20 times and go below your "safe" number or conversely you could attack 20 times for several times and not get your opponent lowered anywhere near the desired number.

While I think this suggestion has its merits, I don't think I personally would use it much.
