the next forum risk

[Willy]

Get rid of the ability of players to capitulate when things aren't going well for them. Good strategy and winning over another player should be rewarded with the territories and battle points expected, rather than having entire empires disappear as soon as they're stuck between a rock and a hard place. If someone wants to stop posting, so be it, but don't allow them to escape without letting the aggressor reap the rewards of their actions, if they so desire.

What about leaving the capital only?

A fair compromise, though I don't see why we couldn't leave everything.

Oooh, I see. SO you would be able to both attack through sea and land in the same turn or you would only be able to just do a single thing?

Both!
Oooh, nice

Pirates seems eh, explain.

Well, imagine you run out of land territories...
*imagination runs wild*

bamping.

If the next FR doesn't implement sea territories, I think people should get a bonus to the chance of getting the sea expansion the more they try. Maybe 3 successful expansions = -1 point necessary for moving?

k so things we all agree on are sea territories

Define 'noone'.
Oh yes, that means just you. Therefore, you're noone.

y u no like sea territories like everyone else you fag hipster

[Fleischgeruch]

Once upon a time everyone thought the Earth was flat. We saw how that turned out.
In any case eh you don't conquer sea space the same way you conquer land space. Normally you wouldn't even sail across the ocean unless we're talking about steamships here, and most naval space is oceans.
On land you can easily control some land province from a castle/city but on sea, how would you continuously monitor thousands of sq km of nothing but water? There is very little means of sustenance on the sea (other than fish) as well so if we have sea territories they should be quite slow to acquire.
But nah I don't see it as a useful addition to risk.

I was thinking maybe each successive sea expansion attempt without success gets +1 roll, so eg. after 2 attempts in a row you'd get +2 for next attempt. When that succeeds, the +x bonus is reset. And yes vice versa for many successful expansions in a row.

they are not supposed to count towards your score

OK mixed up noone and everyone. My point remains the same.
And kmaj, how would we calculate this distance?

Using sea territories and math of course!


C = Amount of territories captured.
m = Maximum amount of captured territories per round.
r = Random roll number between 0 and 1.
s = Amount of sea territories controlled.
t = Amount of coastal territories controlled.

And also, it should be compulsory to take possesion of all sea territories adjacent to a coastal territory you've captured, unless someone already owned it before you captured the coastal one.
