[GO] No Dice Games

[hiddendragon]

dice already ready are an option...can throw one drop at a time or can auto-dice and do all at once...

[Paddy The Cat]

people who voted good idea = 90 percent noobs

people who voted bad idea = accomplished stategists



DO NOT DO THIS

please think it through so many players come to this thread after bad rolls pouting and want to get rid of it because they believe removing dice will magically make them good or something idk

the original founders of risk knew what they were doing, they found a perfect middle ground between luck and skill

its not gambling and its not chess

its perfect ^_^

DO NOT DO THIS

I don't think anyone believes this will actually happen here. It's not Risk without dice. At least the other options are somewhat like the game (play at the same time; kill a specific person; play as a team). This is more like checkers to chess: it's on the same board, but it doesn't belong in the same class.

I really disagree with people who always think the original makers make everything best....

Whether its the board game RISK or the Constitution of the USA....

[Paddy The Cat]

i dont think original makers always make it best.. but i think a vast majority of the time the original makers make it better than some random dude on a risk website..

its a different game without dice, its not risk anymore

Wow. Somebody compared a hobby to a national Constitution. That takes balls

[Sohail88]

that is not lifelike by any stretch of the imagination. The United States Marine Corps is the smallest military branch in America, but they win wars based on fire and manuever, strategy, and the toughest training. those are the facts, look them up. Semper Fi.

[quiidado]

this sounds retarded... basically the game is decided by the random placement of territories in the beginning of the game...

[Sohail88]

i dont c the big deal fruitcake is just asking to make no dice AN OPTION

[ZeroDJoe]

1 - options are GOOD
2 - the people who votes yes may be mostly noobs, but they are still part of the cc community and deserve to have ther votes taken as seriously as the experienced players
3 - no dice games would provide a great alternative to cc gameplay and to decide between similar skilled opponents
4 - decide who infact was the best strategy skills luck is just luck, plus u cant even kiss the dice here
5 - its not a matter of if, it a matter of when. it is gonna be done. it was to be done. even if i have to learn how to program and do it myself in a few years

[crazycoders]

I added a post a while ago about this option to make the game a little more random but still less random than with dice battles. Please read (viewtopic.php?f=4&t=59150) and take it into account for this option as i think that no dice games wouldnt a bad option in itself but so static and mathematical too many people would play it.

I don't think that no dice games would be for noobs. Just a different kind of audience that would still play the game but feel more confortable about the game rules because they have more control of their environment.

[BaldAdonis]

5 - its not a matter of if, it a matter of when.

When you make your own website and set up the game there. Or you could play with a modified version of the home game - just throw away your dice.

as long as its optional its great
that way the people who like it can play it and the people who dislike it can play with dice
i cant understand how anyone can say no to this because nobodys going to mae them play it

No-dice makes this an entirely new game. Part of war (and consequently CC), is being able to deal with bad luck and take advantage of good luck. I say that if this ever does get implemented, it would require a completely different scoreboard. I just don't think the two systems are close enough to call them the same game.

[Sohail88]

i agree with jeff there si nothing wrong with playing no dice games ifu looked at the poll majority rules besides people who like dice games will stay in their own group and people who dont wont simple ans that

[MrBenn]

Every game is now a no-dice game...

this doesnt make sense

Not really true in my mind.

Apart from the fact that "Risk" is a trademark of Hasbro, and we don't play "Risk" we play Conquer (or Conquer Club). Also, if this were simply "Risk" than we would not have things like custom maps and other options that are added with Conquer.

The real thing here is options. If you don't like no-dice games, don't play. If the gameplay of no-dice games sucks, and people don't like it, than the # of ND games will decrease and die off. It's game option Darwinism.

I think people would tire of the no-dice games, but I don't see the need to eliminate it as an option.

Wouldn't work for 1 v 1 no cards games on maps with choke points, like the classic map. If player 1 ever starts with 2 countries in Australia, plus Siam (or Siam is neutral), then he could take it on the first turn and never lose it. The game would be over simply from the drop.

I know that games can be over from the drop in dice games too, but at least there's the chance of either the first player having bad luck trying to take Australia, or player two could get a bit of good luck and break it. Dice are necessary to give hope in games where the drop favors one person.
