No dice games [REJECTED]

[sm8900]

I like this idea. since one of the amazing things about about Conquer Club is the sheer number of comprehensive ideas and options which we can try here, we might as well give people a chance to use this one...if they choose to use this when creating the game.

Just to clear it up the reason I said that is on most seq maps or free for me it's basically who gives up and suicides who, sure I win about 30% of them but thats because I factor that in and attempt my best not to piss suiciders off. (sadly my rank has been inspiring more and more of it....)

As for 1v1 drops do play a part, but all in all I think a 2-3 man head start that drops would give you would be inconsequential which is why alot of players can win there 1v1 maps ?80%? of the time. Because they've mastered all the skill they can possible squeeze out of the map.

I've pretty much mastered (at least as much as anyone else has mastered) freestyle and that took me about 2 years, I still learn new things everyday, infact I just had a few realizations about taking territories and leaving 1 man as defense that I'm going to try to implement in my gameplay today.

Theres always room for expansion, while pratice may very well be affected by the law of diminishing marginal returns, these 1v1 players have played the same damn map over and over and I'm damn sure (since I've checked the facts and the logs of alot of 1v1 players) that most of them tend to win most of the time unless they suffer near fatal bad luck with drops.

Fact of the matter is CC is based on the board game RISK. No board game (or card game for that matter) involves 100% strategy - there is always some luck involved. This is not a variation of a play style; it's a completely different game.

Agreed. If you want no dice involved, go play chess. Sure, we all shout and curse when we lose that crucial 8v2 battle but it's all part of the game. There's a random element you cannot predict, and this is what makes the games exciting. Without dice it would be like acting out a screenplay, where every move is known in advance, extremely boring...

Which is why you would not play this OPTION.

But then my dice hack would be completely pointless...

Even having it as an OPTION would be counterproductive IMO.

[drunkmonkey]

Every time the flaws of a suggestion are pointed out, the counter-argument is "that's why it would be an OPTION". No. We can't fill the site with terrible "options" that people can just choose not to play. We already have freestyle; isn't that enough?

i think that if you think this out it would always end up with a map with a ton of "1's" and a few "2's" you would never ever get up to 90 troops like in your example.

On the start a game and game finder boxes there will be:
Dice: Regular - No dice
Gameplay
[*]The attacker has 4 people defender has 2 4-2=2 he gets two armies too advance

Specifics/Details:

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• More people will play games
  Complaints about dice\die will not happen

Since there is clearly no benefit at all to the site, I move that this suggestion be trashed.

[TheForgivenOne]

This has been suggested before. This would create a ton of stalemate games. Technically, No game on Circus Maximus that is 1v1 would ever end, unless someone deadbeated.

then the only way you would gain an advantage is the drop. There's no way to gain an advantage if both people play correctly beyond what you get on the drop

[Queen_Herpes]

Perhaps he is also suggesting that there should be no drop, then there will be no complaints about the drop.

But then they'd complain about human error.

How about: no dice, no drop game played by super-computers?
