change rule # 2 ( +20 gold per kill ) its more fare for the hi'er ranked player

and

change rule # 4 ( 3 x 5 games to 5 x5 games ) it will take longer to get the gold but u will give more player the chance and also get more ships to the new world

That would be my preference as well, leaning ...

I'll sign up as a reserve for Europe/Asia.

My country is Netherlands.

i'm in!

Oh, oh! Please count me in.

Not sure which country to choose though... I'm 1/2 British, 1/2 American and I live in the Netherlands.

/me is dizzy!

Sign me up, please!

My thoughts exactly.

You would think you would at least take the time to come up with SLIGHTLY different names, no? And playing a doubles game with yourself? That's pushing it!

Luck plays an important role in this game, and no amount of strategy can compensate for terrible dice in a single game. However, in the long run, the dice ARE truly random, and will balance out.

Bad luck happens. In this 2103068 , my opponent captured an artillery, and with 5 armies did this:

2008 ...

This is the word from the mapmaker..... listen up carefully all....
Artillery are special. You can conquer (move onto) an artillery territory from the adjoining non-artillery territory, but you can't move off the artillery territory.


It is also important to realize that you can't reinforce ...

Agreed. If you play a lot of freestyle games at once, you'll find yourself waking up in the middle of the night, covered in sweat, wondering if someone cracked your bonus on map X.

Trust me.

Interesting. The only map I have a problem with is the Scotland one, and I play quite a few different maps. I'll see about upgrading.

Thanks!

I'm having issues on the Scotland map. I can't do more than one thing at a time. For example, I can start my turn, then i need to go back to "my games" then back to that game to place armies (for each deployment). For each individual click of "attack" i need to go to "my games" and back to that game ...

Good point about the large maps. Doodle Earth seems like a crapshoot, no matter how many players there are.

Also, I guess I agree in principle with the posts about having several players, because if your opponent gets a couple good rolls on his first turn, you can easily lose a couple territories ...

So, I'm not starting a thread complaining about dice, since that's been done millions of times. What I want to know is this:

What is the CC setup that MINIMIZES luck and MAXIMIZES required strategy?

I prefer games with no cards, as that is obviously a big luck factor. What else can I do to ...

I use auto, when it doesnt matter, in speed games, and when I absolutely need an upset to win. The more important the battle, the less ill take the chance.

Totally. I basically only use Auto when my game is done, and I can try a desperation 10 v 30, and I don't have the heart to suicide my guys ...

It can be brutal. I think there should be some sort of 'overwhelming strength' bonus or something. I mean, how many times outside of Hollywood does one guy take down 20?

Maybe if you have > 5 times the armies of the defending territory, you get to roll 4 dice, or get +1 to your highest roll, or ...
