Why? It could be confusing at some times, but it would also help even out the game.

Why don't you listen to reason? As it was already mentioned, this would lead to someone having 2 turns before someone else... and that is disadvantage you can't possibly survive

It may lead to them having two turns in a row, but not two turns before someone else. It changes turn order each round, so everybody has a first turn before anyone has a second turn.

No.



Sometimes a short and definitive answer is better than repeating oneself over and over again... :roll:

I'm not sure what you're saying "No" to, but with this system someone wouldn't have 2 turns before someone else had had 1. As I said, they may have two turns in a row. However, this is only possible if they are last turn in first round.

Contradiction.

From a strict mathematics/game theory perspective, there is no fix whatsoever to first turn advantage. It is a feature of turn based game, that can only be cancelled if the players have pre-placed units on the board. It is a concept that is tied with turn based games. It is a part of it. You can switch turn order all you want, even during the game, all it'd do is switch the advantage around, like a hot potato being tossed from player to player.

A. Regardless of whether it'll actually help the game, nobody would get two turns before someone else had gotten 1.
B. Your "hot potato" thing is exactly what this idea is meant to be, given that there isn't really a better solution.

It could be possible to have a game where you may not attack for the first 2 rounds, this would be easily implemented (I think) and although it doesnt solve the problem, it does reduce it considerably.............

A simple fix to people having 2 turns in a row is just to program it so that that doesn't happen
