From a realistic perspective, it makes little sense. You defeat a rival army, and all of their soldiers are converted to your side? Including some that perished in the battle?

Do they have no honour? No dignity? If my country was attacked and I were captured in a battle, I would choose death sooner than joining them against my people.

I see what you're trying to do

this could work on new, hyperfast tables (promoting aggressive play) but unless you're going to limit the factor to 10% the impact would be too big in normal games

A few dice extra when you kill about 20 dice doesn't sound too bad actually

Also, in the same logic, how about 2 extra dice refill for killing someone

thx for reply
@jurgen :

"too big impact" => that's why i mentioned "factor/multiplier"

+ you corectly read my idea:
this would promote more active players=> games
(not just passive stacking in the corner)
imho it's worth serious consideration

how about keep the dice added the same, but add some special tables where you can choose stacking. would be much more strategic.

end of turn added dice (+ captured) - case study

case 1
(your buddy/trucer/pga !!! opens the way for you by desperately hitting third player)
- you get only his small dice / as they are just path/trace of your friend move

case 2
(you attack player with stacks say 3-6)
- you get more dice / it looks like you fight real opponent so dice won are your deserved reward

case 3
(you fight in the end player with stacks 7-8)
- you get more dice (i suspect this would speed up ending fase games)


imho at all three cases my idea works good for game

ain't nothing wrong with risk... somehow I get the feeling most kdice players also enjoy risk
