This is not for sure, all hypothetical.
I had plans a while ago - loooong while ago, okay
- to set up a gigantic risk board based off the adventure mode map. Instead of rolling dice, battles would be resolved in game.
Clans would gain reinforcements (ships) by land control, and by controlling a faction (aka continent). These ships could be deployed in any city. Then clans would attack from one city to another connected by trade lines. Instead of rolling dice to decide how battles are won, players would take to the field in game with the number of airships they had in the game board.
EG: Gents hold Anvala with 4 airships, and Corvus has 8 stationed in adjacent Sarin. So Corvus attacks Gents, using their max of 7 ships (One has to stay in Sarin), vs Gent's 4. They arrange a time and have a duel. The match ends with Gents taking a 5-2 victory. So they need to start another match, then and there preferably, this time with Gents having 2 more ships defending, and 2 ships on the attack with Corvus. So they both fight and --
You know, I can't use these guys as an example, otherwise it's going to look like I'm taking sides. So forgive me, Gents, because I need the offence to win so I can explain some stuff.
So Corvus wins the next match 2-1. There isn't a "Huzzah" screen or anything, but both teams should surrender, say their ggs, and report this update to the thread. So Corvus caps Anvala and moves their one surviving ship into it. They've won, but it was a costly victory. Play continues. Each week teams get reinforcements, at the end of the week cards can be handed out, etc.
So I ask all of you, who would be interested in doing something like this? What are problems you see? How should I change the rules to fix them? Obviously I don't want this to take over cogs or CeSports of Muse's new game, or the other many tourneys we do. But it would be a cool way to get different teams to scrimmage. So what do you think?
Edit: I'm sleepy this probably makes no sense. If you don't understand just ask and when I wake up I'll say something more intelligent.
