New 1v1 or 2v2 game setting idea

[Chilly]

The discussion on account sitting got me thinking about what might be an interesting game variant.

What if you were playing in a 1v1, but each side was actually commanding two armies (or three, or ...)

Let all of the rules for 'team' play still apply. Just thinking it through as a thought exercise, I think it might take away a lot of the first turn advantage in 1v1 games since there are more teams involved.

No idea what the coding implications would be and I know there are way more important things to happen for MC 1.0. But I thought this could be interesting.

I actually love this idea. So, it's a 2v2 game, with one person controlling 2 "players" on each team, is what you're saying?

zsp1 took Yemen from Chilly2.
zsp1 Turn Ended
Chilly1 Waiting for player..

Yeah, I really don't know how difficult this would be to code, nor how high up the list of importance this idea would make it, but I'm likin the idea.

I like your idea Chilly.
although it would be very interesting having to attack yourself to get a command bonus!

Yep, or three (or six) ... So long as you kept it within the other site parameters.

1v1v1v1 (with each general controlling 2 'armies')

It's an interesting variant for sure.

We've talked about having this as an option, both Cassidy and I are big fans of the concept. Sadly I don't think it's on the near horizon, but it's certainly something that I'd love to see on the site.

I always wanted to try it myself....you know being the arrogant opinionated control freak that I can be.

I am kind of afraid of having myself as a teammate though. I dont want to have to listen to me ramble on, and further dont want to listen to me bitch when I mess up.
