Sounds like a good option to me, though I’m thinking it would have to be only one implementation of the idea chosen instead of multiples as to make it easier to implement and more accessible to users.

Having ones capital being assigned (by the mapmaker) with its loss meaning an elimination would ...

I think this would be a very good addition.

Another option would be a “ceasefire” option kicking in at some point (via a unanimous vote and after a lot of rounds so that there is an incentive to play well, and also to not collude against eliminated players) where the players agree to divvy up the ratings amongst them based on something like ...

Other streamline improvements could include not listing games you are already signed up for and games that are not currently joinable due to them being filled with invites.

The option to limit games to players with certain attendance ratings would also be good IMO, as would the option to limit ...

I've seen other sites that allow people not to play at weekends...but then they get into a tangle when different religions define what the sabbath is (eg Judaism starts at sunset on Friday, which in winter can be very early in the afternoon). One does get the missing troops deployed at the end of ...

Reason: Toxic people and comments hurt good discussion (and even wider readership) and dissuade others from joining in discussions as to such negative interactions. Many online forums have effectively been destroyed or badly diminished by (generally) toxic people running amok and effectively ...

Should be pretty self-explanatory, when one player causes/over-contributes to a team loss by missing three turns and getting auto-kicked from the game they should lose more points than their teammates do when the game ends, and when their team wins despite them missing three turns most or all of ...

OK thanks, I will try to use the quote function if I want to notify someone of my replies to them here in the future.

To clarify my reasoning on the “foe”-ing, it was due to this thread https://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=243103. Reasonable disagreement I have no problem with, being blatantly rude while misrepresenting what I wrote (even with a reasonable initial description and a later clean ...

@Apatheist (does doing the @ thing on this site give the @-ed person a notification?):

My proposal was not for threads as such (as viewed from the main forum page) but for individual posts in a thread, for example owenshooter (though he gives no reasoning why, which seems a bit strange if one is ...

Some forums have this feature built in whereby people can “thumbs-up” a post (see an example thread from a good open-source website below), or even add in another icon (like “thinking”). I like this idea as it is a way for people to express support for a post without taking the time to write it out ...

There are times that I might want to make note of something in-game in team games (for example things I might want to keep an eye on for my next move) but not broadcast it to my team, if there was an additional tab in the game where I could take notes, or a port of the message “to self” function ...

new maps that are being made attempt to not have any small bonus drops when possible but any old maps it was part of the map :)


Glad to hear that, seems like the site and/or mapmakers share my general opinion on this.

Would it be possible for old maps to be updated to get the suggestion to ...

In two recent “parachute” reinforce games I have tried to reinforce from one area but ended up reinforcing from another which I had not clicked on at all, with the default area to reinforce from apparently being the place with the most troops.

While this seems logical from one perspective I would ...

I agree with refunding points lost to the downtime and giving some compensation (certainly to paying customers), while it would cause a bit of overall rating inflation it should be minor and almost certainly less annoying to those losing a bit of relative ratings than to those losing a chunk of ...

I too like the idea of casual games, especially to try new maps that one might not like or may be at a serious disadvantage to people with prior map experience by way of missing some important aspect. And I assume that some people would simply like to play some games without risking their ratings ...

So I just started a game (I’m assuming a link to the game is OK, if not let me know and I’ll remove it - https://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=24233851 Iberia - Doubles, No Spoils, Adjacent, Trench), and one team at the start has full control over a coveted +2 corner region alongside all three ...

They already have the parachute reinforcements, give that a try. I mean it kinda is exactly what you are asking for anyways.


I’m aware of the parachute option, what I’m suggesting here is more logical and even more strategic IMO (eg. creating supply lines and/or keeping them open over time), as ...

The imbalance in the initial placement phase stems from the second player having a significant advantage in information (Snapshots) and time, leading to unfair and quick victories. The most effective and simplest solution is to disable Snapshots during the initial placement phase, or even better ...

1) Allow one to scroll through snapshots using their < and > keys instead of having to click through them with their mouse.
2) When one changes in-game tabs (Overview Game Map Stats Snapshots Chat Log Settings Help) without reverting to the live board show the snapshot-timestamp of the board being ...

I’m thinking the site would be a bit better if each player were to have a time bank they could use for various games.

The reason is pretty self-explanatory, nobody wants to lose a game because they missed a turn, and this is probably even more true overall of team games than of 1v1s. While people ...

Not sure what change(s) should be made exactly, but when one player can wait until the end of the 24 initial staring position timer (after his opponent moves, possibly via starting the game late at night where he is), see where he has set his troops (a possible issue in and of itself) via the ...

In team games I would like the option to fortify though teammates, for example if I am P1, and across the map via an unbroken chain is P4 with P2 and P3 in between us, I would like the option (as dictated by the game-starter, to either allow or disallow the possibility when setting up the game) to ...

So I’m thinking that it would be good if in-game directed messages - perhaps made with an @, eg @zen_330: (message here) - were more clearly brought to a user’s attention to help more important messages be seen and read.

I realize that two other ways (the wall and DMs) already exist towards this ...

I would like to see a “see games from your map pool” and other criteria button (eg. 24 hrs per move, team games, fog of war, etc.), that one could pre-set as one saw fit.

I read via another suggestion thread that there is a way to do something similar (not sure if it included the map pool idea) via ...
