Favorite gameplay gimmicks!

[Herakilla]

vote and put up your reason why!

obviously the last two are jokes lol. where you you be without <territory></territory> and <continent></continent>? (without a map thats where)

[Herakilla]

4 votes beyond mine and no posts and which two people voted for the joke?!

[Herakilla]

EDIT: one more vote while i was typing in last msg and it went toward other half of joke!

[dominationnation]

its not the gimick

its how its used.

[spiesr]

There is a map without continents, so I declare that they are unnecessary, therefor my vote is completely justified!

[Herakilla]

if you were to make a map, ANY MAP, the type of map doesnt matter, what gimmick would you most want to put on it?

im regretting putting the joke up there dangit

[pepperonibread]

One-way borders... tho it barely qualifies as a gimmick.

I don't view continent gimmicks as a joke. If you look at Age of Merchants and Age of Might, continent gimmicks are a key factor.

which one?

[dominationnation]

[mibi]

replacing neutrals.

[Aerial Attack]

Not on the list - my favorite is Teleports or Ranged Attacks.

I find the use of resources and factories in the Age of Merchants the most complelling variant here.

I also find clever use of the one-way passage very interesting, though it is misused more often them not. (Misused in a game-balance terms, not in play.)

Bombardment seems interesting, but I've yet to really see it used. The Western Front map has it, but I had fog-of-war on, so I really didn't get much of a feel for it, but it seemed like a punishment to be stationed in England.

I'd really like to see more gimmicks introduced however. The more the merrier...

Partial or <required> continents are my favourite...
