Alright, new mandate: I want to here proposals for a new offensive option, that requires you haven't posted in 12 hours.

I think this will be interesting for players of different activity, or who need to step away for awhile(12 hours is also easy to see without doing mental math). I'll give 3 days.

Players! Please take a look at this.




This is a Beacon. An engineer can place a CLOSED BEACON if an army owns at least 2 airlocks. Limit 1 active per player. Beacons can be destroyed by any attack.
If you have not posted in at least 12 hours, on your next turn you may replace it with an OPEN BEACON. You now get a 3rd action each turn. Also, if no one takes a turn for 24 hours and your turn was last, you win!

This will replace patch 1.0.2.1, as a alternate stalemate counter.

This is something I'm going to introducing soon. That is unless my mandate is satisfied by a winning proposal. You have 2 days.

The reasoning is that without such a rule, people could refuse to play any more turns to prevent someone from winning.

Since Roseheart asked me to choose between a new map or keeping the current one, I'd like to hear your opinions?

Right.

Congratulations to Quarque on their recent win, the new Forum Platoon MVP. Also congrats to everyone for a very intense game!

Also, check out this fantastic art!

Thanks for the game, everyone.

Are you guys up for another one soon at all? I'm considering to ask for a more relaxing turn schedule. Personally I find one turn every hour a bit hectic - not sure I can commit to that again.

I like the sound of a new map.

I'm up for a new round, and I also would be interested in a more relaxed turn schedule.

Well, usually things would end in a more relaxing turn-based 1-on-1. It's only intense when there's lots of players (aka meat shields). Albeit last game a1s was 1v2ing me and Z, and still winning handedly, so we surrendered. Battalion had more snowball mechanics which probably helps the game progress more predictably.

I'm up for a new round, and I also would be interested in a more relaxed turn schedule.
At this time im not planning to change the turn format, including lengthening timers. But I do think the beacon will have an effect on this.

(It's also noteworthy how dang long this match was! It was about double the desired. A lot changed from the start though...)

Just to clarify something, yes those were 2 of the options. If you claim a prize that doesn't relate to the map, I may (and probably will) tweak the current map.

Some tweaks I'm planning:

Firebats can also shoot up and down, but the flame stops at permanent walls.
Soldiiers can shoot up and down.
Engineers can attack with a wrench up and down.
Floors can be placed

Were they not supposed to? I think I did that a couple of times.

Can I pick the map option and design one with a hexagonal pattern?

True. Guess I'm being over thorough...

That sounds like a new game!

But feel free to send in a quick mockup.

ANYONE WANT TO SEE THE ANIMATION??
(check op)



I do have an idea for a naval sequel to battalion with layers. If SPACE II or SPACE III etc. doesn't start. Now that we have an OOC I can get a headcount before launching.
