Berserker Option
Posted: Sat Dec 23, 2017 7:40 amI would like to propose a game option that has probably been proposed before in one form or another.
This is what one MIGHT call the "Berserker Option."
With this option, you can attack from a territory where you have ONLY ONE ARMY.
If you win the roll, your opponent loses an army. If it's his last one your army moves in leaving behind ONE NEUTRAL ARMY.
If you lose the roll, the territory you are attacking from goes to ONE NEUTRAL ARMY.
This changes the dynamics of play in many ways.
First, and most importantly, it provides the option of ending a hopeless game IMMEDIATELY, instead of slogging through several more moves/days to end it.
It's a way to immediately resign a game, as in chess, instead of playing clean-up for days.
The sheer volume of moves would on the site would drop dramatically. Game turnover would accelerate drastically.
Second, if you are going all out to win and fail, leaving you few armies, this can prevent the NEXT player from easily obtaining your cards and winning a game he would not otherwise have won.
There may be downsides to this. Therefore, I think it should be presented as an option, like the zombie nuke, and let people experiment with it.
My prediction is that it would become the norm, for many, if not most players.
I would love some feedback on this idea.
