that is never a reason to make option, there is such a thing as too many options but this idea is good enough that it merits being added

IMPLEMENT IMMEDIATLY! then ill go play 10 games with it

They don't exist sorry bud.

Fix'd.

That doesn't say anything about being rejected.

So, what does it take to get a suggestion officially recognized?

I've been trying to find an answer to that for over a year and have yet to get a real answer.

Jamie wrote:Bad idea. You start out with 3 men on each country. Almost all those would stay trapped, cause you could never fort them. The only way they'd ever be useful is if your opponents conquered the countries around them. If you have a no forts game, you'd have to make it unlimited forting for round 1, than no forts after that. That might work

Are you sure?

The only armies which would be trapped would be those in territories which only bordered with your own. An initial deployment including such territories is, I would suggest, rare. [Maps like Feudal War with auto-deploys might prove awkward though :) They'd need a switch in the XML debarring the selection of "no forts" I would think ...]

Even so, it would only require another player to attack one of the surrounding territories to give that territory a target.

I think the OP's suggestion is sound.

[I find in games of unlimited, adjacent or chained forts that often I don't actually use the forts. It would be an interesting challenge, in my view, to have to play that way all the time.]

There is no formal method or (automatic) formal recognition.

However it is in the interests of the mods/site owners to review posts made here to see if the suggestions (or bug reports) can be used to improve the site. This they certainly do. [Hence the name of the sub-forum ;).]

I think that threads which make a suggestion articulately and discuss it constructively, with the minimum of throwaway posts, is more likely to get attention and so get 'officially recognised' - in the sense that mods/site owners contribute to the thread or mark it as "[to do]", "[rejected]" etc.

It's in our own hands ...

Thanks Gozar. That was exactly the answer I was looking for. Now, if we could just get them to weigh-in on this suggestion.

that's exactly why this suggestion should be implemented. So that people playing no forts games, don't accidentally fortify.

I suggested this once, and I recall it was pointed out to me that this would be broken.

As far as my research tells me, it wasn't even officially recognized.

I took part in this game and it was quite fun actually. Made you really think when taking your turns. Probably the most strategic way to play a game.
