this is a high priority update? I think abandon is fine

I wondered the same marceline.

Abandon is ok. Let's better vote on rt ladder templates or better seasonal templates

There's a tiny difference between changing 1 name in a piece of code, to changing a template.

And why can't Fizzer ask about something simple, it's his game, he can do what he likes, take a chill pill guys...

Of course! No offense. It's fizzers game and he can do what he wants.

Letting the community suggesting and afterwards vote on some templates makes him no work at all too. A big improvement for both ladders.

when you play an abandon card in a game,its called a blockade.so "blockade card" seems good.

Revolution - Uprising - Putsch - Coup

Ambush - i wonder why nobody mentioned this.

Militia - you're giving the territory to a neutral militia that may reïnforce it(depending on settings)

Well, to be fair it would be nice to have more input in the templates too :P I guess I'm just happy to see Fizzer doing anything ;)

You could name it the Desertion card. Your troops desert you and form a resistance with the locals.

i think if it is to be renamed as landmine card then it should better work like a land mine
i.e.it should only be multiplied into neutrals if the opponent attacks that territory
else,the name abandon should stay as is since the player who uses the card is losing his armies

if the territory is not attacked that turn,your armies stay as they are and the card is gone,you cannot use the card again
that's how a mine works for me :)

I like the name abandon, but here's a few other possibilities:


decamp
vacate
dematerialize

I also like the idea of changing abandon into blockade, and then blockade into something else.

Wouldn't that be extremely confusing, especially for players who come back after being gone for a while (a month or two)?

reading through all the suggestions, not sure what would work better. dont like land mine. scorched earth sounds a bit too magic the gathering :p

emergency blockade sounded the most decent on first glance. although it might be bit too lengthy.

priority blockade and delayed blockade sound a bit too formal and also big in length.

maybe quick blockade would be the best option? so you have the "quick blockade" that is done in a hurry (and is usually worth less) and then the regular "blockade" which is done in a full turn (and is usually worth more)

about changing abandon for blockade and blockade to fortify, i dont like the fortify word for the blockade because fortify sounds like you'll still retain ownership of the territory, while you dont.

How about "Scuttle" as in sinking a ship to prevent the enemy from taking it and also blocking a channel passage. Yes, I know it isn't a ship.

Or "Sabotage"?

bog down? quagmire? you could call it the afghanistan card?

It functions a lot like a ambush, but that implies you retain ownership of the territory. I guess the war equivalent is booby trapping an area and then retreating from it. I dont think that has ever been done on the scale that most territories represent.

I think Abandon is a perfectly good name for its function.

it's more like suicide bomber - you die, but you are hoping to take more enemies with you. But i think it might not be good name due to political correctness

incite militia/guerilla :p
