Talk:Strategio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I enjoyed this article and can't wait to go try it out but, although you said how to destroy arrows I'm not quite sure how interaction between squares and other squares or squares and circles or crosses works. Can they destroy each other? Do they need a clear line of sight? Your help is appreciated. Juliantsk 14:37, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I am interested in this game "strategio" and I have a question. What happens to the ownership of a square if two pieces of two different players are protecting it at the same time? That is, if player A places a square in A1 and player B places a square in A3, what happens to A2? Your help would be appreciated. Also, can someone elaborate on the "special moves" mentioned at the beginning of the article? Thanks. - Deadmanwalking 02:50, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Apologies for the delayed reply.

If a grid square is protected by two (or three) players then nobody may move there. It is off limits for the rest of the game, unless one of the pieces doing the protecting is destroyed.

Please see the recently added section on Special Moves at the end of the article.

I like the concept of this game and Id like to play it one day, but Im confused about some of the rules. Do pieces like square and crosses move, or are they all stationary? Are you allowed to draw a cross right in your enemy's central area and start taking out pieces or is there something stopping people from doing that? Is a cross allowed to destroy anything from a far distance away just as long as its within its line of sight? Lastly are my 4 most important questions: When a piece is destroyed, does the scribbled out wreckage inhibit the building of a piece? If so, is there any way to clear out the wreckage? When destroying an enemy piece, does your piece move to the location of the destroyed piece, similar to the movement of pieces in chess? Lastly, you said that arrows are different from other pieces in the way they can be destroyed. How exactly is it different from the normal way in which pieces are destroyed? Sorry about all the questions, Im just confused. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.11.202.107 (talk) 12:29, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree with 216.11.202.107, it is unclear how can squares, circles and crosses be destroyed. It is mentionned how arrows are, but nothing about the other pieces. If anyone knows... My guess would be that it does not have to be in line of sight, but for a square to destroy another piece, the piece has to be in one of the four directions (left, up, right, down) and unprotected. Same thing for the cross (but top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left). What I am wondering is if arrows can destroy pieces in the direction they are looking. And as 216.11.202.107 asked, what happens to destroyed pieces? I guess they are just left there as an unusable tile, since it is mentionned somewhere in the article that for a square (or cross) to destroy an arrow, the arrow has to be in line of sight (no friendly nor enemy pieces blocking and no destroyed pieces either). It wasn't in these words, but it meant something like that.
