yes. That will make the game generally faster! And less sitting in corners... And getting rid of defeated ppl with 1/2 terrs faster! Like it!

Why?

The attacker should not be penalized for a tie. Both sides should lose half their dice, rounded down. Either that or a tie = loss for both sides, which are reduced to one die, or some other effect that does NOT penalize the attacker. A tie should be exactly that, a tie.

As it is now, the attacker is penalized for a tie, and that's not what a tie is. It might also shorten 8v8 cold war battles.

Bad idea, attacker already has advantage if you look at expected number of dice lost since defender is risking all his dice (up to 8) but attacker is only risking all but one (up to 7).

I know what you meant. I asked why.

i like p0ckets economic view of the matter.

Have you ever played RISK? When you roll the dice in RISK and tie, your attackers die.

its just because some kiddies play the game far to aggressive than is strategically good for them. Then they complain that the rules should be changes so that a real aggressive gameplay should do well.
