[GP/UI] Paratroop Reinforcements

[kcoenich]

I see it more like passive option for all of the existing ones... you know, like chained (of course only one reinforcement), for unlimited would be like only two flying reinforcements allowed per turn or something... and so on.

If only two flying reinforcements were allowed per turn, then why would you call it "unlimited"?

[kcoenich]

cause you could keep doing traditional reinforcements.... would be like "special" kind of reinforcements

concept

[hwhrhett]

seems like these 'flying' reinforcements with freestyle, clicky maps, etc.... would create a new niche for people with fast fingers to abuse. imagine freestyle team games when youve got unlimited 'flying' reinforcements, you would be able to kill the whole other team before they even got to play 1 single turn!!

[ubersky]

We can't disregard options just because of potential abuse. We must do our best to think of ways to avoid it though.

There are good nuggets of gameplay options in this thread so far:

1) "True" unlimited reinforcements ("flying")
2) Optional Restrict non-connected reinforcements to # of reinforcements per turn

I'd like to add:
3) Optional Restrict amount of non-connected reinforcements (i.e. troop count) if # of reinfs is restricted.
4) Optional Restrict amount of non-connected reinforcements per target territ

I think it's a great gameplay option, similar to Adjacent Attacks. it's not for everyone, but if enough people will play games in that style, it's worthwhile.

I wonder if we could sandbox test it.

epic bump?
i just wanna see how this goes, i dont see any complaints past

[kcoenich]

yeah... the option of beeing paired with the other types of options would be great...

[HardAttack]

I was about to suggest of invisible reinforcement. Would be some kinda new exciting exprience. No one and even yourself will not see and understand where you had reinforced your troops. Flying, walking or running nor matter what it is, all are in invisible mode. How is it ?

Omg, you guys make me laugh a lot with your amazing suggestions.

Look at the red highlighted and bolded statement you have there mate. I am asking how much you are sure about it ?
Answer the below ;
Why some certain players had been accused of farming new recruits before ? And systematically joining in new recruit's games considered to be a way of farming and also considered to be abuse. Now you have to be very careful when joining in new recruit made games. The fun of joining in new recruit made games no more valid. (To me, it is no fun but some ppl would love it, i m not sure) So maybe you would show some best ways to avoid such an abuse which then i will be glad

hwhrhett is very true in his point.

[BaldAdonis]

imagine the new level of strategy involved with this.

Hahahaha! Yeah, cause there's already a lot of strategy in unlimited games.

Options are no good if they're just going to create trashy games. If you want to get rid of strategic play because it hurts to think, I can tell you how to make Doodle Earth games. If those are still to complicated then you should probably leave. I'm sure there's an online tic-tac-toe site somewhere.

the amount of strat in these games would be negative 10%

so would my sugg of

determine wins by coin flipping

not fly** with any of you

** no pun intended

That's a better one IMO. Has the same ratio of strategy to luck but takes out the annoyance (and time) of playing the game.

[Rowney]

great idea, i fancy myself as a flight commander, would play all the time....... bad idea
