Manual Army Deployment

I like it-needs to be a game option

only set back is you cant see where ppl place theirs
but it would allow you to choose instead of getting what you get

For my idea you would see placement. Player 1 would place all of their armies and so on.

I do believe something like this was rejected before...

i would assume thats a no for this suggestion also

The only way I would like this suggestion would be if you couldn't see where the other people placed their armies until the game actually starts.

ive played it this way, and it isnt as cool as you think...it just gives you your territories quicker....the only way to do it would be sequential...ie deploy 3 at a time one after another...it could take 8 days to just deploy the guys

isnt worth the trouble right now

You don't need to go three at a time if you cant see where other people place their troops. I like the idea. THis is how I play when i play on an actual board. And it makes the fights over Australia on the Classic map a lot more interesting

You play by deploying your troops and somehow not seeing other peoples deployments?

Deploying while reacting to the deployments of the other players is completely different from blindly deploying all your troops without knowing where the other troops are located.

I guess the blind deployment could be an option, but I'd definitely run into way too many n00bs that end up deploying next to me resulting in my eminent doom.

im not knocking the idea per se, but blindly placing them would invariably put all of two players in australia, while the third had all his armies in south america, and takes over the map in two moves

its more that im guessing it will take a lot of work, and i think some of the other ideas should be done first

and in the hands of a multi, the game will be over in one turn
