And also, freestyle round? eep! I know this wont work for many of the people I regularly play with, because they have only once a day access. I would love to see this with the standard round in place. I think it would go well.

Try 1v1, Oasis, Manual, Freestyle, Foggy. Crazy—drop on one tert and run for the Grand Oases; who'll be there first?

-Maximus- wrote:Whats wrong with sequential placement and no fog. Yes takes more rounds to even start the game, but would be the real "initial troop placement"
Could even make each map have a specific round limit to get all the troops deployed by forcing X amount of troops be placed per round.
Of course keep the freestyle fog option for those brave souls that like it.

Check out Game 5600334 where I haven't even had a turn yet (other than being first to deploy, which took me 12 cautious minutes as I converted all my 1s into 2s to prevent them being cannon fodder and stacked up on cannons in each of the 4 corners ready to pummel the oppo on my turn). Imagine my delight when I return to the game only to find out the oppo has made his deploys (obviously dropping 4 great stacks) AND then gets to take first turn (since when could the player who ended Round 1 - as it says in the log - start Round 2?).
I'm not a bad player on Waterloo, so something's seriously wrong if a game can be over on such a big map after just one turn.
And yes...it'll be a farmer's paradise. Already my opponent is creaming the oppo in 20 other similar games and will top the leaderboard in no time. Add to that the obvious facility to cheat (entering games with an ally and keeping your deploys away from each other) and the whole idea becomes corrupt.
Nice idea to try and recreate something close to the game we all fell in love with, but this won't work (not for fair players it won't) and is very wrong in its mechanics. More thought should have gone into it before launching it.
