Feature Request: More merciful spawn-hog Win

[ElPared]

This has probably come up before, but I felt like bringing it up again.

I'm playing a game where my opponent now has nothing but a Mobi and is unable to spawn units due to my runner hogging his spawn. Wouldn't it be a bit more merciful on the game's part to just hand me my win at this point?

the idea being: If a unit is hogging your spawn and you have no units left other than Medics and Mobis, the game should be forfeited just like if you'd had no units at all, because Medics and Mobis can do nothing to un-hog a spawn space.

There's always the "forfeit" option... But I personally don't find the idea of forfeiting too appealing either. I'd let you hunt down my mobi

But it's true, a unit that can't defend itself should probably be a case of defeat. A minor issue, but it shows how much ElPared empathizes with others

Probably too much work; just be merciful and kill the MOBI! lol

I remember there was a time when I was hogging the spawn point, and I wanted to occupy all the hexes next to the enemy mobi so that it can't move either..lol

Lol thats just mean. My worst is hogging the spawn with only a medic left on thier side and bringing over troops to get the base kill.

It felt like a more significant victory though cause i won in both possible ways. Lol

I can't always do that because usually the mobi is out of reach of my units so all I can do is kill what's around it and hog their spawn.

Just saying: I know I won, they know I won; why make them hit the "give up" button?

But they can hog opponent spawn space. Just theoretically...

True, but since they cannot eliminate all enemy units, and both conditions must be met to achieve victory, victory is impossible.

As for ElPared's suggestion, I'm all for it. I would guess this might be somewhat difficult to program, however.

Right! So what happens if both of you have hogged the opponent's spawn??

[Setorines]

I find it hard to come to a situation where you only have a medic or mobi left and took the enemies spawn when they also only had a medic or mobi left. I really doubt it has happened in any game ever. Lol
