Teleportation/Redeployment Poll

Thu Jan 15, 2009 9:47 pm

Per Aryaman's suggestion, we are votingb on whether we should create a rule banning teleportation due to some gamey tactics that can be used.

This would be applied towards Round 3, 4. I'd appreciate it if only surviving participants would vote. Right now, that's 10 votes. This is a public poll in terms of how you voted, and anyone is welcome to voice their opinion/slash argument.

Calling the option "teleportation" instead of redeployment could slant the results. ;)

That's true. I'm split myself in that you should be able to specify whcih city is to raise an HQ, for example, and "redeployment" remedies that. On the other hand, see #2 here: http://www.ageod-forum.com/showpost.php?p=124763&postcount=18 for an idea of what "teleportation" can do. :)

I Know that a general voyaging one half of North America at 1 only day is something as teleportation, but any train from New York/Richmond to St.Louis/New Orleans takes 1 month or 1 month and half doing the voyage. So, one general for turn for "teleportation" and 1 month or month and half doing a beautiful pleasure voyage for the rest of generals

I'm very sorry I voted "NO" in this poll I had no business voting.

I believe this is an EXCELLENT idea, zeroing move solve several gamey tactics... However NON teleporting even a single general per turn is downgrading the game experience IMHO, at least in the long Campaigns.

However, some others can not be avoided.

Six valid votes "yes" so no redeployment rule will be in effect for rounds 3 and 4.

Hello Gray

I have no direct business with this poll, but I could not help notice your post. Please do not forget that the majority of players play against AI, and this redeployment rule (which can be optional) exists mainly to help AI (and, in my view, to help the player solve more expeditiously the anachronism of all Generals appearing in the capital, if they so wish). I think IMHO that there is no need to change this in the code. PBEM players can have their own house rules if they wish, as they did in this thread.

I agree that "teleportation" is gamey but I'm fine with 1 redeployment per turn. With this game engine sometimes it's impossible to move leaders or HQ to desired location.
Before we ban "teleportation" some things in the engine should be changed like ability to chose where to build HQ or make all leaders available at the game start. I'm not sure how things will work with sending leader or spending money and time to build HQ just to be intercepted by partisan unit. In this game danger of being intercepted is much greater than it was in reality. Some units or even armies could sit for turn after turn doing nothing but waiting for leaders to arrive and here that means lost campaign season.
