Been over this point before, if you can't slave at any point in the turn, whoever moves second can react to the situation 1 turn sooner. You need to be able to slave at any point in the turn. IIRC, this got forced on Byz this game, and it didn;t work.
Quote:I have said it before, but these rules create so much more aggro and loopholes than either allowing double moves or simply dividing the timer in half after the declaration depending on who logs in first in the turn.
There is 1 mistake in them, that got brought to my attention a few days ago. However, the mention of loopholes is unfounded, but if you can find them,bring them to attention here and we can try to fix them.
Quote:Set the rule that if you are declaring war, you must log in after your opponent to claim second half of the turn, as that is easy to see on civstats if they have done so or not. I know that people like to log in early to just look around, but players don't declare war on a whim so will accept the 'inconvenience' fopr just one turn if they are desperate for the 2nd half! Then simply say, you do EVERYTHING in your allotted half of the timer and that is it.
The rule as stated never gives the attacker the choice to get the second half. No one gets to choose though, who gets what half depends on who moved last, and the defender is always given the chance to react unless the defender is already in a war. That is less exploitable than the RBPB3 rule, and much clearer.
Quote:This current rule just smacks of over complication and is full of grounds for exploitation.
Compared to the week long pause from RBPB3?
Quote:Reloading now compromises so much information for so little gain that it is pointless. If you are going to reload just so everyone does the same moves again, but all at the same time, then what is the point?
If the attacker fucked up because they didn't read the rule, then it is their fault that they have shown their hand.
