Personally I don't see what's wrong with having an alliance in a strategy game. An alliance doesn't preculde having one winner only. But, that's not really the discussion here...
|
I do not think alliances are wrong, but the idea here is to get people with a race design and mindset of self reliance, and trust nobody.

3) Battle orders on all armed ships must be Attack "Neutrals and enemies" or attack "everyone". (These are the same when everyone is set as enemy..)

This will prevent cloaked sweeping, where you send in a cloaked sweeper with orders to not sweep untill it gets very close, and then it pulls the whole field down with no warning. You might consider an exception to this rule: small fleets cloaked to over 80% are allowed to set orders to attack no one. (but should have primary target of armed ships, so if some one does attack them, they will fight back).
|
That is a good point that I had not considered. I'll think some more on that issue, but don't want to make the rules too complicated, or create a loophole for exploitation.
Perhaps something like "Ships may have alternate battle orders set to: None/Disengage, Minimize damage to self, and Attack Nobody
This will put them at a disadvantage while sneaking in to sweep down a field, but would not prevent this tactic.

I would still suggest that victory require > 2/3 (or perhaps even more) of active players. Also, you could make things interesting, by requiring all votes to be sent as ingame messages to everyone. Then you know who is voting against you and can wipe them out to remove their vote.

Generally by the point that others are calling for a vote to end the game the winner is fairly well known, Certainly if the 1st ranked player is still being contested by the second ranked player it would be wrong to end the game for those two. How complicated does it need to be? Mutual consent of the 1-4th ranked players?
I really doubt this will be an issue.
