by **cena-rules** on Tue Aug 21, 2007 2:28 pm

yeah id like this

there is a no cards so why not no forts?

by **lalaland** on Tue Aug 21, 2007 3:08 pm

I think it's a cool idea... although I personally would never play it.

I like my fortifications

This idea was brought up a few weeks/months ago I remember. It was met with some people liking it, and others hating it. But no ruling was ever made on rejection or not.

Yeah it was my idea. And I'm not even sure I like it, but I had it, so I posted it.

As well as escalating, chained and adjacent, I think a "no fortification" option would be interesting - it would increase strategy of deployment and increase the amount of forethought you put into your planning...

Not a bad shout this...

Search before you post, as there are at least two (perhaps more!) topics about this.

<Subject>:
Concise Idea: when you end your attacks your turn is done. No fortifying.

<Body>:

Suggestion Idea: No fortifications permitted (consider it trench warfare where your armies stay where they are unless they are attacking).

Specifics: As indicated, once you are done attacking you are not allowed to fortify at all.

Why it is needed: Another type of gameplay (would give 4 different kinds of fortification games). This would force players to really consider where they are placing their reinforcements as they could not rectify mistakes by forting. Gameplay/strategy would be difficult as your main army could be trapped if you don't place your armies properly at the outset.

Just a thought...
(I did a search and didn't see this mentioned before)

mmm a lil intresting.. if it happened. it would def need to be a playable option. but yer. it is something different that could make stratergies different

by **Wisse** on Tue Dec 18, 2007 10:33 am

This was my thinking. I was finishing an unlimited fort turn the other day and moving armies around and it hit me how interesting it would make a game if you couldn;t do any shifting at all at the end of your turn. Make the proper placing of your armies so much more important, really have to take your time and think of all the potential outcomes.

I would never play it.

I quite like this... Very interesting

by **wcaclimbing** on Tue Dec 25, 2007 10:05 pm

I would play it.

It would completely rearrange my current strategy to win, but whatever, it sounds fun enough to lose a few points over :wink:

by **cazmart** on Tue Dec 25, 2007 10:48 pm

I am an all or nothing type of person...meaning normally I like playing unlimited fortifications...but....

I love the posibility of this option. Talk about strategy...huge.

Only Negative i see is the times your opponent gets that great drop and controls a bonus...You are probably going to lose in that scenario without the ability to create a large attack group.

Even with that beins said I would like to see it.

No fortification option?There are a group of us playing a game without forting after your turn. Anyone else ever try playing a game this way? Anyone interested in making this an option?

Suggestion Idea: No Fortification Option

Specifics: A fourth fortification option would be added to the Start A Game choices, but it would be for No Forts

Why it is needed: There's already an option for no cards, so why not?? It would add a heck of a lot more strategy.

*for the record-this is Timminz idea*

by **Herakilla** on Thu Jan 31, 2008 11:24 pm

i think this is a great idea, easily enough programmed

by **herndawg** on Thu Jan 31, 2008 11:39 pm

I like this also, would make for good strategery or however you psell taht.
Also, an option for a 1 or 2 minute speed game would rule. mentioned in another post.

I vote yes

by **TaCktiX** on Fri Feb 01, 2008 12:11 am

It'd be cool to have no-Fort matches. So definitely a thumbs-up from me (not that it matters other than +1).

by **sully800** on Fri Feb 01, 2008 12:23 am

I don't know why I never thought of it before, but I like the idea! You could really get screwed by trapping your troops behind your own lines

A+ suggestion, because I'm sure it would be very easy to implement and it would have a big effect on gameplay in some instances.

by **Night Strike** on Fri Feb 01, 2008 12:39 am

Come on keiths31, you put forth a good idea but you forgot to use the form. :shock:

Geez, you're letting your fellow G1 members down. Good thing I've got your back.
