Seems like it would be a much better version than local deployments. I've always found local deployments a bit tedious, in games.

That's right. Local deployments games are really interesting, and lots of fun, until the map gets too big (or your territory gets too large). Then it becomes very tedious due to the sheer number of orders you must enter. In real-time games, it's almost impossible to play at all.

This version remains fun under those conditions. (And can be used on any map without modifications, unlike Local Deployments, which require you to adjust bonuses and remove strategic features like overlapping bonuses.) It's also, as I mentioned earlier, adjustable for map size (which local deployments are not).

If it's possible to sit a minimum deployment limit, and then increase it as a fraction of your income, that could also be interesting.

For example, the deployment limit is always 5, or 1/10 of your income, whichever is better.

This would allow it to scale nicely for any map size instead of having to do it manually.

It removes some of the advantages of the rule, but could be another good setting.

Bumping this thread one more time, for fresh eyes.

With the multi-attack ladder tournament ongoing, and people complaining about the effects of multi-attacks, making those games "indefensible", I think this thread is more relevant than ever.

Multi-attack with limited deployments is, hands down, my favourite way to play Warlight.

Interesting idea. Could be definetely implemented (I prefer that over the non-split setting). Once I've played a LD on Westeros map, oh god I remember the suffering every time I needed to take my turn (30 min+ every time), I've finally agreed to a ending vote even being really stronger then the remaining opponent (200+ difference) just cause it bored me to put 500 income on the map every time.

Very true!

I may start a "deployment limit" game soon. It would be honour system, so it would be invite-only. If you'd like to participate, please post here! (We have two people so far.)

Who else is interested?

I guess I would be.

Ok, good. We almost have quorum.

One more taker?

I'm prepared to start a game; we just need one more taker! It will be invite-only.

I will be starting a game soon. Post or PM me to join!

The game has been created. If you wish to be added before it starts, let me know.

There are now two games underway. If anyone else wants in, please post here.

Can you post the gamelinks?

I'd love to see this feature implemented. Currently you are better off being surrounded by your opponent than surrounding your opponent, which is pretty stupid. This would help to eliminate that.

The games are active, so posting the links won't do you much good now (the fog hides everything, after all). (I could post them once the game finishes, if you'd like!) To see one in action, take a look at the link I posted earlier in this thread.

Epicular, that's exactly the idea! (Please vote, if you like it.)

There a couple of games going, but we may start up another one with relatively basic settings soon. If you are interested, post here or PM me.

I would be interested in trying a game like this.
