Would also love to be able to choose where the blizzards go for pwf games. Would be great for tournaments games

[trail cedar]

Yeah that’d be very useful

Maybe go with 4 settings for blizzard count?:

• < Off - Few - Normal - Extra >

I think also an addition of Unstable Blizzards would be cool.

unstable blizzards is a cool idea

[vestal fog]

I was thinking "avalanches"... similar to unstable portals - but moreso like the movement/mapping of zombies - blizzards would keep taking up more and more of the map every so many rounds until everything is swallowed up. Last man standing (whoever controls the final territory) wins.

[elfin thorn]

thats a really interesting idea! ive never thought of that. i think the biggest downside is that is based a lot on luck

[vestal fog]

To some degree there would/will always be the luck aspect, but to mitigate that, I was thinking that the algorithm could be set to make the blizzards expand only to territories adjacent to them, and, ideally, come from the outside of the map into the middle. This would force all the players to either wait to be taken by the unstable blizzards/avalanches or fight to secure the center of the board. I think it would create some exciting gameplay and prevent stalemates from ever happening.

the “avalanches” working their way into the centre of the board is clever. i think thats a cool idea for fast paced games! more modifiers being implemented is something im looking forward to and i think that’d be a good contender

[vestal fog]

I'm right there with you - always looking for ways to spice things up, and if there are ways to further prevent stalemates and multiple hours long games, I'm there for it

[elfin thorn]

yeah i agree! i dont have the free time for long games—thats why i avoid caps lol

[vestal fog]

Lol soooo true. And it sucks because that's one of the best/only solutions to making games favor skill over luck 😭

[elfin thorn]

literally 😭😭 need some 20 minute caps games
