A new way of winning [rejected]

jakejake · Post by **jakejake** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 11:01 am

perhaps a new way of winning could be: owning 66% of the map

some problems could be:

that some maps wouldnt be fair/good with this idea...
starting positions could give a very unfair advantage...
theres probably many more but if people give feedback that would be good

this is probably a crap idea and someone may have suggested it before, but i forgot to look throught - sorry!!

Spot on as ever DiM...

Of course you could've also pointed out - that you could make a map to do this already...

Gotta agree with that.

In a game with flat rate cards, and a decent drop, first person with a mixed set could go crazy and take the territories needed.

doodle earth:
you would only have to kill 12 countries

AoR Might, Magic, and Feudal Wars:
those maps are huge.... that is a ton of neutrals to kill.

thats why i said it would only work on some maps....i knew it was a shit idea but i just wanted some other points of view!!

You could advocate more objective maps that had that as the objective, but making that a generic victory option is just stupid, as you have agreed.

would have to restricted to maps geared toward it. for example like you said many things would make it unfair but what about escalating games? ive seen people come back from having nothing to winning

i think we can rule this 1 out!! ah well - worth a try...lol

I'd support this if the win condition was 2/3 of all the owned territories. Then neutrals owning stuff wouldn't matter.

I would say it has to be at least 75% of terrs

Maybe just a 1/4 ?
So, in a 4 player game, if you went first you'd win ?

I'm going to reject this one.

It can be done on a map by map basis with objectives but would just be a lottery on other maps (Like doodle earth) where the first person to go could pretty easily win.

Thanks for the suggestion - but rejected
