Yes I would personally prefer a three inning game mode without a map, that way I could spend my time playing the game instead of staring at a sim screen.
I posted this in a different thread, but it took an hour and a half of simming games after I took the last stronghold on the US map. Time I could have spent doing anything else in the game. Simming doesn't take any skill it's just a waste of my time.An hour and a half?? Thats not the game, thats you lol. You're exaggerating a bit I'm sure but seriously?, I can sim that entire map before playing a single stronghold in an hour and a half. Go load up 3 inn games vs computer and stop complaining.
Yes we are basically saying the same thing here, when I took the last stronghold I had 99 hexes, which is 30 strongholds plus 69 non stronghold hexes. At least a dozen of those were empty when I took them. So to sim the remaining 250? or so hexes took about an hour and a half.
If your goal is to take the entire map before attacking strongholds then you will be taking over more empty spaces the sim part would go a bit quicker. Either way we are basically in agreement with how long it takes to sim the map.
No not really lol. But ok.

they will never do this... they want you wasting time in this mode because they can use that number to inflate playing time.

Put in auto-sim...
...then have it undo half your map so you won't complain about the extra 10 minutes anymore. Fixed.

I can’t believe somebody is actually arguing in favor of having to sim out the map. I will say this: one time I did have a stronghold I had already captured get taken back from me so I had to play it again, so maybe that’s why they don’t allow you to auto-sim. In any event, it’s a major headache to run through the rest of the map. If they want to make it an additional challenge or goal I don’t hate the idea of “play Team X on a certain difficulty to take their remaining territories” or something like that but keep the option to just sim it out.
The map is what makes Conquest, Conquest and not the vs CPU mode. So people who don't want to sim anything but play the computer, should go play vs CPU mode.
Sure but are you seriously saying there is nothing that could be done to streamline the simulation to the end once all of the strongholds are captured? I agree it shouldn't just be a press of a button and poof it's done, but it is pretty lame sitting there for an extra 30 minutes pressing X over and over again.

I agree that the simming could be a lot quicker and change the algorithm (or whatever) used with the ridiculous result that are showing up a lot this year. I do not agree with just doing away with it because that is part of the mode.

I am not a fan of CPU modes or simming those games either. Unfortunately the way its structured this year, they are kind of a necessity. So for me I feel like the whole map is an inconvenience. This is the first year ever I've ever made it a point to complete them. However they only take like 3 hours tops to complete, other than the Nation map. So I went ahead and did all 3 new TA's when they came out. Took up the day, but I got 200,000 - 300,000 for completing them (including the TA rewards they unlocked). Yes they are painfully boring, but very rewarding. After seeing this first hand, I have no problem grinding through them anymore. Put the tv on one of the side monitors while playing and your done before you know it.

Fair enough... didn't realize it was you that made that comment. My mistake. Seems like we are on similar pages then.

I wish you'd be able to select multiple non stronghold spaces at once. Make it something like 2x...ie I select (5) 1's and its a 10. Doing it individually is very time consuming and mind numbing.
I agree I wish i could select a point or multiples not next to me and just let the sim go. would be much more time efficient fore sure.
-
I agree with op, should no longer be allowed to sim in conquest. must play all 387 games.
And if dont think thats how they would fix, start thinking that.
Ive beaten usa map 7 or 8 times, it is fine the way it is. -
Two main changes I would really like to see.
- Speed up or change simming is some way to make it faster. It is obnoxious the way it currently works.
- Get rid of the "move" stage and allow me to move any reinforcements at any time as long as they are connected. I think this would freshen up the mode a bit and change up the strategies somewhat.

I love losing 22-3 territory battles though
Most I have ever lost is 10-15 at a time don’t know how I’m hearing so many people saying they are losing these. I have done the us map 9 times and all the other maps

I have to say the time it takes to conquer the hexagons is a main reason I haven’t done most of the ta 1 and 2 maps

It's rare, but it's happened. Usually it's just I'll end up with 6-7 fans before finally winning

Rolling dice against the CPU until you can play on rookie and never receiving anything more for playing on a higher difficulty IS the Little Billy mode. I don’t know how that could possibly be misconstrued any other way.
Your under the impression the guys who have finished the USA map 9 times can make WS and 12-0 much easier than we con do conquest? They are gifted in the form of conquest simulations? Why else are they pursing 8k Oranges in conquest and taking any free pack SDS hands out when they could be stacking millions of coins of real rewards?
Orange slices tho DurrRrHahaHah

Defend SDS? Have you never played risk, or other board games? There's a tremendous amount of strategy that goes into conquest, removing that, removes half the fun of the game mode. How and where you reinforce ensures that the computer can't take back territories you already conquered, and the direction you go determines how easy or hard of a path you'll have to complete the board.
If strategy board games aren't your thing, I get it. But your comment shows how little you understand about the game mode, and its origins.

There is a difference between defending SDS and explaining the rationale behind the game mode.
