Proposal: Land wars

Fails 1-4. Adminned 22:20 by Tantusar.

Add a new subrule to “Convoys”, entitled “Land seizure”:

If a convoy successfully enters a Zone, its driver Occupies that Zone. A convoy cannot enter the last Zone occupied by a given Tribe.

I expect the last sentence to be changed eventually, but in the meantime it’s better not to have tribes eliminated.

This will get messy, quickly: any Tribe can immediately spend 10 Fuel to speed along a path of unoccupied Zones, claiming all of them, then regain 5 Fuel and grab 5 more. And if entering a Zone means you immediately Occupy it, it becomes illegal to enter occupied Zones at all (because that would give them two Occupiers).

My intention was the occupation of the territory would be transferred from one to the other.

I figured we could fix the messiness once we have a few more rules in place and know what the mechanics are going to look like.

Also not to be annoying, but resolving these kinds of problems was why I made the proto in the first place.

Not a fan of protos. They encourage the idea that a proposal has to be perfect to be worth voting for.

For what it’s worth, I think this speeds the game up too much, and would prefer territory changes to be occasional rather than constant.  against
