I'm willing to try this

I'll try it.

That's cool idea for a tournament, I could definitely give it a try.

I'm up for it

Are you sure it's a good idea to have multiple territories together as a "flag"?

Let's say someone is both expanding (and close to beating an opponent), but also has trouble keeping his own flag secure. If he owns all-but-one of his opponent's "flag" at the end of the turn in which he loses the last of his own flag, he'd have to surrender; that seems a little weird, since he's closer to having a flag than his opponent (his opponent being able to retake his whole flag uncontested doesn't seem right either).

And, what happens when you lose half of your flag to one enemy and the other half to another? You surrender, they continue to battle it out...?

Finally, a minor nitpick: in most CtF games I've played the flag is in a relatively defensible position. In the map you've chosen (especially with the wrap-around entry not being blocked of, the flag is almost out in the open...

A suggestion which would fix both problems: move the flag to that small bonus just outside the castle, on the opposite side of the secondary gate.

(Sorry, can't accept your invitation; the Internet connection at home is borked, making it rather difficult to play WL.)

Sounds like a good idea, always great to hear people innovating and trying to push the game forward so I'll definitely try it.

Sorry about the delay on my turns and replying on here. its been a pretty mad christmas!!

@RvW im not quite sure what you mean. the flag is only two territories (throne room 04 & throne room 05) if any of these are taken then you have to surrender (its not if both are taken). im not sure if i made that clear enough and hope that others playing understand that.

in regards to the warp section, if you count the number of squares it takes to reach the flag this way it is exactly the same as traveling down the main road and taking the -1 short cut. for this reason i dont see that as a problem

i do see your point about hiding the flag away in a really hard to reach place and i can see how people might perfer this but from my view i kind of like the fact that it isnt so tucked away and is accecable from a few different angles.

but you know these are just my opinion at the moment. this is why i want to test this quite a few times, take a few suggestions and improve the game play

Right i have just sent out a game for
Grezecho, Hellgunner and CEBearsfan

Noobschool and Prgamer im just waiting on one more

anyone who is already playing fancy another game?

me!!!

I'd really like to see a link when the games over, sounds interesting.

Got into a game of the castle with 6 players and did not get a throne room starting spot. I assume this is a different version than you are discussing?

in this game, you dont start with the throne room, you start in 1 of the 4 castles and you have to protect the throne room of that castle.

as you said there were 6 players, you probably just joined an open game.
anyone can create a game with different settings and maps. so although there are common versions of games, such as strategic 1v1 on medium earth, there is a wide variety of games you can play.

I'm in

I'll try

@GeneralMac:

|> the flag is only two territories (throne room 04 & throne room 05)

My bad, I understood your original

|> THEIR "THRONE ROOM 4 OR 5" squares (territory)

as "their whole throne room bonus (I'm too lazy to check if that has 4 or 5 territories".

Have fun with your play testing! :)

@RvW

No Worries.

If your internet gets any better and you fancy testing out a game or 2 feel free to let me know :)

And me!
