start to know the quirks of use what interface for what

Why on earth would I ?

I had just always assumed it was a deliberate warzone limitation !

Anyway I shall bug report and then use browser for forum posts in future until fixed

My original thread has been well and truly hijacked and gone off topic
Any chance of a moderator sorting this thread out or should I copy and paste and start again in browser
What do the forum police advise

I don't think they can split threads, so you should probably make a new one

EDIT: or we just restart the thread in this thread

RESTART OF THIS THREAD:

This could be used on any map
I am going to try it with my son
We both love the Roman Imperium map for two players with certain rules which I think are commonly played with on here
We like random starts because it shakes the game around a bit but then also some games are over really even before a round is played or within a few rounds so I have an idea that I am going to try with him but maybe it is fundamentally flawed and more experienced players might realise right away hence the forum post
I will give a concrete example but it could be any set up really with two players
The computer chooses ten starter squares and we then go through rounds of choosing

This would happen in the chat box and then involve a custom scenario creation
For the first choice we both declare together if we both choose differently then we both get our choice of territory
If we both choose the same then we flip a coin for who gets it and the player that lost gets to choose a different territory
That player also now has what is called the "advantage"
We then two round two but now knowing what the other person has chosen so far

If in that round both players choose the same again then the person with the advantage gets the choice and the other player chooses unapposed and now takes procession of the advantage
And so it continues until all territories have been chosen
I would then need to end that game and create a custom scenario with our respective starting territories
It is not something I have done before but ideally the person who holds the advantage would then get first move on the first go
That is the main idea but it could be tweaked a bit by saying this person has advantage before making the first choice but I am not sure that changes anything
Or advantage goes ABBAABB
Or advantage goes random then other player then random again

I hope what I have put makes sense
The idea is to even out territory distribution but choices are based on knowledge of what territories have been allocated so far
(I realise there is skill but different skill and IMHO more luck in the current way of choosing manually starting territories)
Comments welcomed
Thanks
