I'll play.

Can I claim the Knights, or are people going to be given just a random piece?

are the territories not all connected to each other?

here's my chess template from the map:-
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=725930
tell me what you think of it
here's the idea:-
we play 1v1 chess with a third party moderating
each number represents a piece
1=pawn
2=knight
3=bishop
5=rook
9=queen
10=king
these numbers have nothing to do with the importance of a certain piece on the board but are only used to distinguish

no income-
this is so that we can take turns one after another just like in chess instead of both players deploying

BOMB card-
as i mentioned earlier,to make the numbers act only as a symbol and nothing else,if we want say a pawn to kill a queen,since 1 cannot kill 9,we can use the bomb card 4 times on that queen for a pawn to capture it

blockade card-
to remove the square from which a piece moves out

abandon card-
just as a precaution if there is any mistake

re-enforcement card ONLY to be used in case a pawn gets converted into a queen,rook,knight,...to identify the difference

Edit:-the map is in testing mode,so you can't play the game yet
but look at the settings

Hey Benjamin, I realize this is off topic, but have you ever played around with Dr. Stupid's chess series of warlight maps? Nathan has a a really good series too. If you're interested in this, those might interest you as well.

Yea, any chance you can convince Dr. Stupid to send me the SVG file of the Queen map as a starting point *cough*

Let me see what I can do!

I would love to do something like this. Please invite me to the game when it is ready.

Ryiro, that sounds all well and good except for 1 part.. With no income there comes a point where you can no longer capture new territories (that can easily be solved by r-card, but you dond't use the card for that). So how do you imagine a game would progress? I don't think it'll work in it's current template.


instead how about this; 100 attack ratio, we all know that's how chess works. Additionally make it No-split (partly prevents trolling, not that I think anyone will troll). no fog obv.

For example, you have a lot (1000? maybe more?) +10 rein cards and you'd use one every time you make a move (and then the turn after bomb card to reduce your stack), this might cause some problems with representing pieces. One way could be to create many teams, ie Team A is black pawns, Team B is white pawns, Team C is black Knights etc. anyway you need to do something different than from what's now (unless I misunderstood something)

0% defensive killrate
100% offensive kill rate
you just kill a piece and those armies are done for just the same way as the piece is gone forever
you can kill forever even with 1 pawn
Edit:-and if you wonder it'll take too long,maybe you should read what i wrote about bomb card
also,just in case you wonder,1 army can kill + capture 1 defending army in any no-luck setting where offensive killrate>=50% and defensive killrate is <50%
