a new better way to start (the forum didnt take it with a 't dont know why)

Dice wars was designed as single player game, you start as 1 player everything else was controlled by computers. So as multiplayer game an adaption might be necessary to recreate a good blance.

Now how about this idea: In the beginning every player gets 1 country per random with 5 dices. Everything else is gray with 2 dice per field (neutral countries). Player starting fields do never connect to each other. The neutral countries represent the "nonplayer" countries like in dice wars, where as single player every else was in computers hand.

Now I don't know if its better to leave the neutral countries at 2 dices, or to increase 1 dice / country / round. As players gets stronger too. Discuss!

If a player surrenders / perma-leaves his countries turn gray.

If thats too much you could do some intermediate balancing by e.g., giving players 2 random fields at the start, rest neutral.

sounds likes a nice idea to me but would be a totally different gameplay.

ok. now that i've slept over it i guess i fond the flaw to me. point about it is you grow far too slow out of a single field. also lcuk factor is being raised by having fewer fields and possibilities. Its still interesting to see this thing work. yet im against to implement this as a default strat.

MadWylli, i rather think you might rather grow too fast, as all your contries are connected by default... so I don't see a problem there.

i mean its fluctutation what makes this game fun. reducing fluktuation will reduce possible game settings thus make it less fun i say.

First you complain that luck factor is increased, now you complain that luck factor is decreased?
