Concise description:
- Implement various gameplay options so that it would be possible to play Castle Risk.
Specifics/Details:
- Deploy troops at the end of your turn instead of the beginning.
- Draw cards that effect attacks. Gaining these cards is compulsory and not contingent on successful attacks. They are not the same as spoils.
- General Card: Adds one to your highest attack die.
- Marshall: Adds one to your highest defense die.
- Admiral: Allows a distance attack, must be used with an Auto Attack only.
- Spy: Allows you to eliminate an opponent's card.
- Diplomat: Creates a mandatory truce between two players for one turn.
- Reinforcement: These cards are traded in for troops in an escalating spoils fashion. Only one card is needed for a trade in. At some point (12-15), the troops gained by trading one of these cards go back to 3 again.
- The addition of a map that allows for escalating bonuses gained from holding specific territories (Castles). This portion is probably best implemented with new map creation and is really already happening in multiple maps.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
- Allow more gameplay variations, including one (deployment at the end of the turn) that will greatly change a lot of games and strategies.
