Suggestion Target of Rebellions minor change

[Julius Loghain]

I would like to propose a minor change to the Rebellion rules, specifically the target of rebellions.

Currently the rule states the following:
TARGETS OF REBELLIONS

• A Major Faction’s third completed Dominion in a month is vulnerable for 10 days after the Dominion is submitted in the Map Update thread.

The minor change I’d propose is:
TARGETS OF REBELLIONS

• If a Major Faction completes three Dominions in a month, any of these dominions are vulnerable for 10 days after the Dominion is submitted in the Map Update thread.

My reasoning is that this allows a minor faction a richer choice of hexes to rebel rather than limited to the third submitted one.

 

[Robogeber]

Reasoning lines up in my view. It'd suck to be some minor trying to become a major wanting to go major and sort of forced to start rebelling what is effectively a backwater. This certainly has my earnest support sir.

Per our discussion over DM, why not go a step farther and open up any of a major's hexes to potential rebellion save the capital if they do three a month?

It's a solid proposal and I think it would be a positive step as is, but if a major wants to deny a minor particular targets all they have to do is one less dom for that month.

I think that's a very solid suggestion. Sort of like a vulnerability due to 'overextension' in a given month. Makes rebellions more appealing for minors, I think.

 

[Aloy Vizsla]

Does indeed make it appealing. Got my vote

That would invalidate the weaknesses of some mandates. There are some mandates that do make every dominion and every hex a target.

I am gonna assume Grasp the Void and Rapid Expansion? My view is they overlap way too much and one of the two is redundant, so I'd rather invalidate some overlapping mandates as cost to make rebellion targets more flexible for minors.

 

[Rynn Vizsla]

Due to the recently disabled limitations on Ally slots, most current mandates are in desperate need of a rework anyway. So it might be the time to overhaul them all and reduce the redundancies in that system. But, as this thread is about the change on the target(s) of rebellion... I'm game to see this change implemented, especially regarding opening up more than the three random hexes a faction chooses to dominion.

#Overextension #EmpireSprawl

 

[Thaelius]

Oh, yes

 

[Heath Valhoun]

I like this. Very solid, not a huge change that'd toss everything up, but a significant enough change to be worthwhile
