New Play Order: Like Freestyle but with no simultaneous play

Postby tiglionabbit on Sat Dec 13, 2008 3:19 am

I'd like to suggest a new Play Order option that combines aspects of Freestyle and Sequential.

The Problem:
I love using Freestyle in casual games because I can take my turn at any time during the round. It speeds up the game a ton. However, I hate it when other people take their turn at the same time as me. The map does not refresh in casual, so I often get a big surprise when I'm planning out my attack only to have it come back as "Invalid Assault" when the territory I am attacking from is suddenly conquered by another player. Also quite often they'll sneak guys through a weakness in my defenses before I can move my reinforcements into place. It really makes me wish only one person had their turn at a time, so I could spend some time planning and not worry about sudden changes in the map.

The Solution:
Introduce a new play order that's first come first served. It would behave exactly like freestyle except that when one player hits Begin Turn, no other player can begin their turn until this player is finished. This is different from Sequential because players can take turns in any order in a round.

Ooo... thats actually not a bad suggestion... what about the clock? For example in speed games would the 5 mins start again once the '1st person' begins and ends? Or would it continue through everyones turns? (Harsh for 8 player games :P)

I like this idea. Need to get creative with the clock though. That could be a problem.

This was suggested a few months ago. I like it but IIRC there was a lot of opposition due to the possibilities of being locked out from doing your turn.

Oh yea, IIRC it's a pending project. More support here might make it a higher priority though.

Bad idea.The fastest player to hit begin(or B if your using CM) will go first and so on.Trust me if your having speed problems in freestyle you will not beat these guys to begin your turn and will most likely lose even more.

This seems like a good idea for casual games, but would be ridiculous in speed games.

This is a great idea but I do agree that in a speed game it would be ridiculous.
