Questions about team play

Hi all,

I have a couple of questions about playing as a team..

If 2 players from the same team capture several territories that provide a bonus when held, will the bonus still be given? If so, to who?

What's the deal with reinforcements? In several 4x4 matches I participated the 'tactic' is to reinforce one of the players with everything to unbalance as much as possible the play. If both teams do this, the game becomes a 1x1 with several 'witnesses' to see the game unfold. Reinforcements should not be allowed on team members that are not contiguous to our own territories... At least, like it is, it takes pretty much all the strategy and team play from those matches... Am I completely wrong here?

Anyway, thanks guys, been having great fun in here!

One person must hold a bonus for it to be received not the team

This only happens in unlimited or manual, try chained/adjacent or automatic troop deployment if you dont want this to happen.

First the first point, as said above, 1 person must hold the entire bonus for him to get it, no sharing between the team.

On the second point (and this more aimed at ljex), I think he means at the start of every turn, you get troops to deploy (3 as basic which increases with territory and bonuses) and in the team games he's played, they've employed a strategy of putting all troops onto 1 team members territory or territories and thus making it more of a 1v1 than a 4v4. He's saying that for this to be allowed, he wants your team mates region must connect to your regions...thus making it 'fairer' or at least less of a "everyone stack 1 players and wipe the map" sort of game. At least that's the impression I got, thus changing from unlimited/manual would have no effect...

caraxia, that tactic you wrote about is legal.
if you dislike it, try escalating instead of no spoils. then there is actually a reason to attack
