More combinations, more fun!

I have thought of an idea to make 2p caps games more interesting. Basically it would consist in choosing a few more pairs of territories for 2p caps for each map (maybe 4 or 5, depending on the possibilities), so every time you play you get different (yet fair) placements, that yield more interesting games.

I don't know though how hard can it be to implement...

I suppose you prepare pairs of positions and then select a random pair of cap positions, as opposed to just choose two positions from a pool of five territories, because otherwise games might be really weird if the capitals are fairly close to each other.

I like the idea, but I am not entirely sure how to implement it from the top of my head. It doesn't sound difficult, but I don't know how complicated the related code is.

This idea would be so good! It wouldn't be hard to think up alternative capital positions, just maybe inconvenient to implement. Also, players joining a game would have to know which capitals were being used - is there space to show this? If not, the white rings could be displayed around the two capitals before the game starts.

The idea was originally to choose randomly between the pairs. One effect of this is avoiding the games to be the same, and if you can choose the pair you like the best, you only will play one and it's like we have done nothing.

I see. Good opinion well justified. :)

I think that is a good idea Psymon and will at the very least restrict the 1v1 Same Time players set plays a little, perhaps even making it more fun for those too?!
It would certainly create more unknowns or more factors to remember for persistent 2p map players making each game a little less predictable.

Is anything going to happen about this suggestion, or is it just going to be forgotten? I ask because I think it's a really good idea and would love to see it implemented.

It's not likely to happen anytime soon because we have some big projects we are working on. Bump this thread after you see that team games are public, the join game tab is available for all games and the live game lobby is redesigned.
