These are some major improvement ideas that were discussed over the years.. Shame it's not yet implemented..

Picking stage: pick one territory at a time (I pick, you pick, I pick, you pick, etc.).

This would be really cool as a setting, has anyone put this in the uservoice?

i don't think would be a good idea, bc you would know where the opponent is picking. So you can easily counter him...

gnuffone - not really it was discussed before.

it would either be:

- player A picks,
- system shows B what A picked
- player B picks
- system shows A what B picked
...

or

- player A picks
- player B picks
- if it is free, he gets it,
- if it was picked by A, B picks another spot until he picks a free spot.

Would the second option differ from what we have now?

- player A picks,
- system shows B what A picked
- player B picks
- system shows A what B picked
...

exactly what i say. If system show me for each pick what opponnet done, it will be easier the picking stage and is pretty stupid. I think would be a mess for the picking stage.

@piggy
you pick one territory at time, and after each of your pick, you will know where opponent is (if you lose one spot you picked, you know where the opponent is, and you can coutner him with the next pick...

^ what gnu said. You don't have to predict from the very beginning. You can alter your picking strategy as you go..

one thing he did not mantion - this would enable you to make sure you don't end up with one region only, when you don't want it .. e.g. in a 2v2 game i played with GS yesterday, he got 1st, 2nd, and 11th pick, which was bordering the two other and made him hopeless with an enemy next to his spot..

The thing you don't end up with only one region is called picking skill.
For this i really dislike the idea to change the actual picking stage. Would became too easier make picks...

sometimes it's nothing more than picking luck.

the game is this

Now , tell me this is luck instead a pick mistake...
If you pick 1/2 in west areas, why the hell he put his 11th there? make 0 sense...
he should have picked lusitania or sauthern gaul.

Blame pick luck can have sense if you lost your 1st pick. And this is a FTB and/or crucial place.
But there i see only GS don't cover well the map, and his 12 in GB is bad too. Like i said before, 11 and 12 should be lusitania (that coutner his 10, that make sense) and sauther gaul (a long term counter).

P.S.: to be honest, i think you should say you be pretty lucky, bc i mirrored the FTB in South italy, and you take it. 66% vs 33% ;)

This new style of picking would take longer and end up with almost the same result. I think there are very few players who would use it, and they are the ones who are already very adept with the current system.

gtfo gnuff. It was only an example. we picked shitty that game, but it happens sometimes to be luck-based. I'm not blaming luck there you bragging ahol :/ i could even paste you what i wrote him before he picked, which he misunderstood. And no, you are not the greatest player ever.

Great post Piggy! Make a uservoice and I'll vote.

This little Piggy went to market to try to improve the online game he loved. You'll never believe what happened next.
