A few seasons ago in the seasonal ladder a featured called randomized bonus values was introduced
and I think it was/is a great feature and I would very much like to see it as an option when creating a game
furthermore I think the whole aspect of values of bonuses can be developed to regenerate known and loved templates and make it less repetitive.

here are a few examples:
#1 GROW BONUSES in this mode you take a bonus and every turn you keep the bonus it value raises adding another side of tactics to a game
#2 RANDOMLY CHANGING BONUSES in this mode the value of a bonus will change every turn making the game more risky can also include negative bonuses
#3 CARD GENERATING BONUSES in this mode a bonus will give a card every few turns thus making it more desirable even if his value is low

this is what i have so far but i believe this whole area is very undeveloped

I apologize if this is hard to follow
I am a little buzzed and was unsure if I will remember this tomorrow so thought better to write it before i forget it

first idea is brilliant second one is also very interesting. Third is kind of bizarre but still good

Haha great ideas, love the last part.

Stay buzzed mate! Great ideas all of them

Also, how about a Scapeshift card that lets you change the value of a bonus by up to a predetermined amount (e.g. you can increase or decrease the value of a bonus by up to 5 armies/turn, for instance)?

I agree, great ideas.

I like the first and third, especially. Second is insane, but I'd try it. On the third idea about the card generating bonuses: Another setting to expand on that is to randomize card pieces given among cards already in that game, and also allow game creator to pick a specific territory/bonus and have it give only one specific card piece. You could even assign one territory or bonus on the map to give pieces of a card that would otherwise be impossible to get. That would be a fun game to play.

I like your idea, too Blightsteel.
