Trench Warfare

[Victor Sullivan]

It's not even that you can advance and tap from that new region, but not take?

You cannot attack further, period. So 'tapping' is not allowed.

Tapping was never allowed in AA. Tapping is still an attack.

[AndyDufresne]

Think of it like your troops are exhausted after conquering a region and advancing, and cannot move or attack any further.

nicely put sir!

[lackattack]

yeah i put 2+2 afterwards.. got it.. so i have to own from the initial attack.. okie dokie.. thanks

Exactly. Otherwise your troops could get stuck in a culs de sac!

With this update, can we have a map selection setting that is called "Random minus Hive".

There are probably some other giant maps people wouldn't want to do trench with either, though Hive may be the worst. What about setting up groups of maps by size within the random map function, so you could select "random small" or "random medium" etc.?

I was just thinking... Is there going to be an update to the tournament database to allow for there to be a "Trench" type?

Hive isn't actually as bad as people think, because there are more regions to actually attack with.

Agreed - it's maps like feudal epic with corridors that are going to be hell.

Edit: The dungeon one is another.

3rd to get bronze

I have to say... this is a pain in the ass... but its definitely something new!

*Gasp!* He's unconscious! I need a doctor over here, stat! Oliver, CAN YOU HEAR ME? This is bad, guys, he's not waking up.

-Sully

I think he's right!. Someone quick... call an ambulance. I dont think hes breathing now

I just pinched myself one thousand times to ensure that I am awake. I still don't believe it!

I have to say, with all honesty, that at this point I was completely convinced that this option would never become a reality. 100% convinced. And I am so happy to be wrong!

This new option will reinvigorate CC for sure. A completely new gameplay mode. I envision good times ahead

[OliverFA]

This is gonna be awesome!!

And legendary!

[OliverFA]

YES! Thanks Lack - been hoping for this for 3 years!

This is huge for the tournaments and now we can play with fog on!

Hey, I've played HIVE like this before and think it actually plays well.

It does. In fact I think it's a great map for this setting.

Bu the way, do you fancy one Hive Trench game?

[OliverFA]

I like it kinda. It looks fun but there is one HUGE problem -----This makes a good drop unbeatable. Drop a bonus or most of one and you have won the game outright.

On the contrary. You have plenty of time to prepare and develop a strategy to counter a bad drop.

I disagree, before you could surprise someone with a long range attack. If someone drops a bonus, your first chance to break it may not come for 3 rounds are so and by then he has had more dropped than normal. Its kinda fun, though infuriating.

An opponent may have an early troop advantage if something like this happens, but if he doesn't have much of a front outside of his narrow area, you might be better off in terms of expansion than he is.

Let's say that, as an example, red gets Australia in the Classic map. Green can still develop a plan to conquer another continent. Red still has an advantadge, but not a game won for sure.

Also remember that troops can't travel the full map in one turn. This is specially important if you use chained or adjacent reinforcements.

[Pirlo]

I believe this will be confusing as hell for newbies.. You better protect them from this feature.

[pmchugh]

I officially hate this setting... i'm 1-10 on it.

Funny. I'm dominant so far, haven't lost a game on it.

[General Bax]

good change, but after playing a few dozens of trench games, ending the game is a bit frustrating for both sides.

how about adding a forfeit option for the losing player who wants to end his suffering sooner?

I will take you up on it, just send me an invite just to see

[OliverFA]

done

[SimplyObsessed]

This is going to add an additional challenge to large escalating games, no more board sweeping.
