New Game Option: Regicide

Give us the game option where all you have to do is kill the special unit (or general) for the person to be eliminated.

Nice idea. Kill the Führer! No matter where he is... we'll get him!

I support!

So only premium players will play this?

Why "only" premium? Because of General?
Not necessarly; could be a special unit that cannot be produced and launched into game through an event in turn 1.

Dolan approves

Sounds like an awesome idea, i would play it.

Kind of like Smear the queer! (An american game where 1 person is holding the ball and you have to tackle him while he runs away)

Support

Idon't support this, instead of playing a strategy game, the player will be like a bounty hunter not to mention the fact that if this unit dies you also die.For example, you have built an empire with hard work and then someone finds that unit, kills it and you die..it's not fair.

Well special units, event 1? this means the option can be used only in custom maps and scenarios :/

Great idea loving it

Losing your capital even though you own the largest empire in the game and have enough manpower to steamroll your opponent is just as ludicrous by your logic.
The only difference between this and capture capital is that this means you have an even greater chance of continuing a fight for sustained periods. Losing home country doesn't mean losing the game. Mind you both (or all) opponents would be gunning for each others generals. This takes tactics to a whole other level. Instead of just rampaging a single country until you bring down it's capital, you have to actually form a plan in order to effectively trap a general and defeat, all the while protecting your own.

Like many other options in this game. It opens new variations of the game (and closes no doors).
Support.

Support! Interesting idea and if implemented, can't wait to play it!

I highly support this! it'll also add new reputation to atWar!

Good idea, but won't someone just wall the unit in and wall it in somewhere else next turn? :p

because somebody can't already make 3 layers of walls in a capital city, and wall glitch at the same time.....

You could just move your general/unit or whatever around every turn avoiding attack, making walls anywhere on the map ...you wouldnt need to hold him in a city ...it would be silly game of catch me if you can.

it would be like total annihilation, you can have 500 units, but you have no cities, you lose.

Actually, it might be fun to play "catch the king"

Support!

Good idea

Some ways to counter this:
Spread single troops around the walled general to prevent a wall next turn;
Build big walls to reduce general's movement range;
Dominate your enemies nearby countries so he has no reinforce to re-wall somewhere else.

Sounds reasonable, a bit autistic tho :p SUpport!

Umm load up your general in a air trans, and send him around the world ...i dont wanna win i just wanna troll ...possible scenario :/

You can still wall him to avoid a big escape, or simply send a bomber or stealth, which have more range than Air Transports, and you will eventually win.

Another way to avoid this is by making Total Anihilation conditions a secondary way of winning, so if you just focus on escaping with your general instead of fighting, you will end up losing anyway.

This leads on to considering the option of multiple victory conditions, with and add victory condition check-box.

It would have compounded effects throughout the game, as well as fixing this flaw.

Yes, I've seen this suggested before back in Afterwind in 2012. Again, I support this idea.

I can already make a game like this, especially now that I have worked out how to make Godlike unit that can kill all other units except one specific unit. It's still very testy though.
