[GP/UI] Paratroop Reinforcements

[drunkmonkey]

I think this would be detrimental to strategy, especially in team games. Now, there are times you have to decide between making an attack (usually for a card), or defending a teammate. With this, you could do both easily. It takes away a lot of the tactical decisions that make the game interesting.

I also don't like the idea of being able to send your auto-deploy troops anywhere on the map. That's not what they were designed for. Again, team games would almost be ruined by this. Picture a feudal team game where the lead player is getting 8+ reinforcements from each teammate per turn.

Wonderful idea. I think games played on this setting would be interesting in their own unique way.

I see your point, but this is easily fixed if you choose another setting. At the same time, this would present new and exciting gameplay to every map, including (and maybe especially) the auto-deploy ones you are referring to.

Metsfan seems to agree

You can't just list all the pros, and dismiss the cons with "it's only an option". You need to address the concerns if you're serious about this suggestion. Then wait three or four years for a chance at implementation.

Just go play MC if you wanna fort anywhere. Been there, done that.

Indeed, anywhere-unlimited is a very fun option. Basically what happens is that it feels like the game skips to round after a turn or two. People consolidate their troops in a bonus they are strong in. Its particulary interesting on escalating, because rarely are you able to be spread out all over the map. It's a good way to get to the meat of the game quickly, by passing the setup phase for the most part.

It should be implemented here.

[Victor Sullivan]

It should be implemented here.

I agree. At least two people have brought it up and we have three pages of comments, that has to count for something, right?

[greenoaks]

how much support does Paratroop spoils require to be stickied ?

[TheForgivenOne]

Stickied as well

[stahrgazer]

Concise description:
You can reinforce one territory with the troops from another, regardless of if they are connected or not.

Specifics/Details:
This would be an alternative to the current Reinforcement options of Unlimited, Adjacent & Chained.

It would be similar to Adjacent and Chained in that you can only make the one reinforcement but you can Paratroop them to anywhere on the map.


How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
This will add a new element to the strategy of troop placement & movement. It would be particularly useful on maps that have an auto-deploy.

I wouldn't want to play this setting. The next suggestion will be unlimited anywheres.

Stickied with 35% disapproval? Really?

[TheForgivenOne]

Stickied with 35% disapproval? Really?

Well, some suggestions have been sticked with only 53% approval, even though I didn't agree with it.

I'm just stickying it to see if anything else happens with the thread.

[rathmaskalion]

I like the idea... As with any other suggestion about game modes, it just provides another option (which could be quite entertaining) Stuff like this doesn't ruin strategy, it changes it...and only as an option.

[Donlarry]

kinda like a space drop put it any where on the map if your connected or not

[Mr_Adams]

screw everybody over if they don't go first. first person to go round one forts everything into one good spot, then goes first round 2 and take a huge chunk of the map.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I see it also. One player gets a manual deployment and everyone else gets an automatic deployment.

well its just like doodle earth or city mogul you go first you win.

[Timminz]

The last site trying to emulate a certain Risky game, that I tried, had this as an option. Overall I didn't find the site worthwhile, although a number of former "big names" from CC are there (or were when I saw it).

And you believe that's a strong argument in favor of it?

[stahrgazer]

I don't doodle, but I've won going second on city mogul.

Reinforce without the regions in-between? No consistency to that in a rt war, unless one considers grabbing everyone by heli and paratrooping them into another place; but a heli would have limited space for the troops. So, perhaps, if there were a penalty, like, lose two to move one if they're not in chain, would work.

the marines have this thing where its an airplane that fly's really high like the top layer of the atmosphere like close to space and so it goes really fast and u can be anywhere u want thats where i thought of it...helicopter what is this the 80's

High-altitude aircraft offer the opportunity to experience other aspects of space than the weightless experiences provided by parabolic aircraft. Passengers in a flight to 60,000 feet and above would see the curvature of the earth below and the dark sky of space above. They would see expansive views of whatever region they were flying over, above most of the clouds.

I really like this idea as an option. I'm guessing the suggestion is to have the following reinforcement game settings:

-chained
-adjacent
-unlimited connected
-unlimited disconnected

[Metsfanmax]

Hasn't paratroop reinforcements been suggested multiple times already?

[Queen_Herpes]

I thought I found allt he paratroop suggs and tried to get them merged, but maybe I did that in my sleep.
