It may not be a stellar 1vs1 setting (which all of your 16 games seem to be), but with even 3 players (and more probably) it is quite fun I think. Try it again, this time with a few more players.

This new feature is trully amazing. a really strategic game type. How come things like nuclear spoils can came up first than this? This one is an undoubtedly improving of the game. Well done =D> =D> =D>

This gameplay is crap for 1v1 if your opponent gets the start

So don't play 1v1 on it! Most of us already realized this, and stopped playing 2 player games.

Not true! I love my 1vs1s! I'll probably even try some trench games on 1vs1, just because I am curious.

Well I think there is more fun with more players :) but I don't think that all 1v1 games (even most) are decided by initial drop. Maybe in some maps, but that's all

I wouldn't say its the drop, the bigger problem is going second.

It doesn't say it in the first post and I'm not reading 12 pages of posts.

But

ConquerClub may want to think about block NR's from playing trench as I'm sure a lot of people will join then likely not come back to the site if they accidentally create/join some trench games which could take a longer than normal time to finish.

I thought I read that NRs are blocked from trench. I don't remember where I saw it though.

Per the Instructions pages "New Recruits must earn a promotion to join Assassin games, Terminator games, team games, large games (6 or more players), Trench Warfare games and games on complex maps (they will be hidden from Join A Game and Game Finder listings). These restrictions do not apply to private games."

The restrictions also don't apply to NRs who buy premium.

Yeah if they have premium no biggie since they can get multiple games. Was just a thought about new players that may stumble upon the site

When we launched the update, we blocked New Recruits, as specified in those Instructions quoted above! Thanks for thinking about this too though!

I do not know if this has been answered but how does trench work for a Map like Lunar Wars.

Are you now limited to complete the objective since you cannot eliminate players any longer since attacking the base and forting there would end the move so you could not attack shuttles and would resort back to neutral next round?
