Synchronized Mining
All mines must be built at specific times. If you can't build the mine at the required time, you must resign (or allow your queen to be captured). Mines will be built on the 24th hour of the day specified, and can not be built sooner or later. Suggested mine schedule is as follows:
Mine 1: End of Day 2 (50)
Mine 2: End of Day 4 (100)
Mine 3: End of Day 7 (200)
Mine 4: End of Day 10 (300)

I don't know if this is actually a good schedule, so that might need adjustment, but I think this would be an interesting way to play. It would prevent stagnation of games because if someone starts to lag behind, they will quickly be forced out.

10th day for the fourth mine? That seems a little steep. I don't think I've ever actually drilled 4 mines in a game... I think a 3-6-10 pattern would be better.

Blind - You can only launch subs at outposts outside of your sonar range. That includes your own outposts HOWEVER, a sub with the queen by itself with 0 drillers is exempt from this rule. And Just to clarify, you cannot land subs with navigators inside your sonar range either

Reasoning:
You DO NOT want to be able to see the entire board. You won't be able to launch anything....
This basically means that you should actually gift princesses to enemies so they can't attack you
So, the smaller your sonar range, the better

Soooo you can't move within your own territory, period?

I'm not a huge fan of this. You can't reinforce bases. No sending newly hired specs to defend. Moving your queen blindly?

@road Yes that is precisely the point. Except your queen.
@nojo You can move your queen, but only by itself. Why did I do this? Because if you can only attack outside your sonar range but the person you're attacking can defend it, that would be sort of unfair. Nobody would take any new territory.... But then if you can't move your queen, the you'd get eliminated. Also, that's sort of what makes the game interesting. You'll have outposts all over the place and everyone will be integrated with each other. The server will have a hard time deciding where to place your nametag!
