auto-attack (was 'how about this?')

I personally think it'd be cool for there to be an option that automatically rolls the dice, untill ur out of troops, or untill u get the territory. like for example fighting a 35 on 20 bttle takes long, but this would make it almost instant. obviously this should be an option to use only when wanted. any thoughts/comments?

by **qeee1** on Wed Apr 05, 2006 1:33 pm

I don't think I'd ever use that simply because I wouldn't trust it, and there's rarely a case when I'm willing to risk all my troops anyway.

well think of it this way. you have25 troops, and the other guy has 5. your not gonna loose all ur troops, but it would save you time

I don't think it's that important...besides...I'm usually (like right this very moment) waiting and hoping someone will get online and take their turn so i can go in one of my games, so anything to speed up a turn would not be good. Lack probably has more important things to focus on, anyways...like the 10 million other suggestions...

Well, not usually... but you never can tell. The dice gods may have a mind to smite you. Just ask Romber about his 86 armies he lost against 1... lol

i've seen this on other Risk sites (dominate game i think). If lack ever gets the time to do it why not? If your not into it, dont use it, not a big deal, but on big high card continent grabs, it could be nice.

i can give one good reason to not put it on the page =-=-= how many times have you hit the wrong button - end attacks to early - deployed on wrong country - instead of fortify hit end fortification == i really don't need another button to make me feel stupider than i already do everytime i double check and still hit the wrong dagum button

by **areyouincahoots** on Wed Apr 05, 2006 6:09 pm

lol...good point

Yeah, sorry, it's an unnecessary button.

by **dissolution** on Wed Apr 05, 2006 11:08 pm

lol, yeah ok i agree with you there, we do make stupid mistakes. but that can be easily avoided by putting the buttom somewhere else. like putting it a lil away from the rest. and maybe having to click it twice or something. i think the advantage of it, outwiegh this negative, oh i might screw up view

by **qeee1** on Thu Apr 06, 2006 7:20 am

you must also take lack's coding time into account as a disadvantage... I think there are more important suggestions more deserving of his time.

by **wacicha** on Thu Apr 06, 2006 1:19 pm

it is not an oh i might screw up view it is-=- i f--n-- screwed up again view and will continue to screw up other wise i would not be at the low score i'm at with over 300 games

I'm sorry but even with 40 armies against 40 armies you can't tell me that you don't have five minutes to waste? You're playing online risk, it is infact a waste of time. Don't get me wrong, I love wasting my time here, but it isn't doing anything for me except providing enjoyment. Forget the damn botton and lets move on to better things.
