Hey all, relative newbie here, having a blast playing with friends. At the moment, we're all spamming what we call the godzilla strat in midgame, which is to dump 50 troops on a random border and go wild. Fun for now, but i can see it getting old is there a setting or something that limits where you can spawn armies, maybe to specific tiles (a la diplomacy) or just binds them to the specific region that gives them?

The local deployment setting kind of does this. Forces armies to be deployed in a spesific bonus. Overlapping bonuses aren't allowed. See https://www.warzone.com/wiki/Local_deployments

Thanks! Mixed feelings, since i love the massive asoiaf maps with large scale bonus claims, but this is useful

you can do pretty much everything, link an example ofgame so we understand exactly what you like I guess

Not related to what you asked (since it was already answered, i.e. turning on local deployment for game) but about the strategy... it can be good sometimes (if you are ahead on armies/income) but if enemy income is close than you may end up losing more armies with brute force attacks (assuming normal killrates i.e. 0.6 offensive 0.7 defensive), or if you share multiple borders and you all in at one border enemy may push other borders etc.
But when you attack with 50 and enemy can only put let's say 25, and cannot punish you elsewhere, it is not as bad as you'd think.
