I wouldn't like it red either, not easy on the eye. People should just be careful when joining games.

How about an option to disable the trench effect once its clear that a player has lost? Require both sides to vote/agree for it to be disabled... I dont know how to prevent abuse of this for medal grabbing tho (ex- immediately vote to disable)

Unfortunately not, but you can be among the first to get silver or gold...and have some bragging rights still! :D

Looks like 27 players, as of this post time, have earned a spot in the Conquer Cup III lottery!

Best of luck, hopefully more will continue to earn the medal by May 1st!

If the lottery winner is already pre-registered, we can probably bump your registration to Conquer Cup IV I assume. We'll cross that bridge if we need to on May 1st!

just to double check as lost the post will the players who have played this setting for the past 2 years be getting unique defeats against all we have before the issue of this option like with other medals.

I think some mod (maybe Gilligan) said no because it's so hard to check and find those people.

Q: how could anyone play this setting for two years when it came up a week ago only anyway?

Unfortunately the medal isn't going to be issued retroactively, because it would be difficult to trackdown the games, but even more difficult would be to determine if 'rules' of engagement were really followed!

Some players have been playing this with a sort of 'Players Rules of Engagement'...there were a number of callouts and a couple of tournaments exclusively with players playing on the honor system!

I wonder if anyone has noticed that we just invented, for the first time in CC I think, a setting that allows 1 vs 1 stalemates to occur. Has anyone noticed as well, or is it just me?

Stalemates can be prevented with round limit. Might be a good idea to use round limit when you play trench. Even on 1v1.

New Recruits are blocked from Trench games.

Round Limits in general are handy, even if you only use the 50 or 100 to just save you from getting stuck in endless games. ;)

You have a stack of 80, opponent has a stack of 78 and there is a single area in between. One of the players gets 32 troops per turn, the other one gets, lets say, 34 troops per turn. All the map has been conquered and there is this single "boarder". Or, you can imagine, 2-3 of those "boarders" around the board. Both players should conquer the boardering region(s) without advancing their stacks. At the end of time, one of the players will have 3400 troops, the other one 3200, but still, the stronger player cannot advance, because he will lose to the opponent's attacking advantage.

I noticed this tactical problem.. even in dubs not only 1v1.. but I can imagine it's even worse in 1v1 as you dun have a partner to which you can pass troops when he gets in the right position to get the attacker's advantage!

I noticed this pretty quickly, the stalemates broke up in no time because of other factors but the problem is there.

love this idea. gonna try it soon. ......
any possibility of unlimited Adjacent Fortifications... the ability to fortify troops from any one territ to an adjacent territ... but instead of just once... you can do it for any territory that has troops. each territ would only be able to move to one adjacent territ and both territs involved would be locked off, that way you can't leap frog troops as if it were chained. just a thought

sorry i still do not see the thing with stalemates i can see it could be possible but to get yourself into that kind of situation means you have not played the best strategy for the setting.

+1. We have been playing those games for years with the honour rules, and any deadlock we found was in fact a temporal one. If you see a "stalemate" its more likely because both players have trully similar skill levels.

And which map has only 1 border that divides two equally reinforced areas?

you dont need one. Can happen with 2 or 3. I dont say trench is bad, I like it. I just say it adds a new senario.
