Having it this way may make others weakened by blank territories, but that would be the case if the user was still in the game, which is the point, as others are still weakened by ppl still in the game.

Exactly.

Maybe some kind of compromise could be made where some of the left tiles are randomly selected to count or all tiles with more than one unit or all with one unit would count as border.

If changing back is not an option there is the possibility of raising the penalty for early quitters and maybe mid-play quitters. The penalty could be decided according to number of players still in game, amount of tiles left dead, and Map size

Tiles penalty factor would be less in big maps and higher in small maps. Maybe average player tile or Gap between highest and lowest.


Nice idea btw. But that would take a ton of coding.
It is of course important that penalties does not imprison players in a Map for to long, but it should encourage them to try.

Make the old system and the current system a choice

For example right now our troop systems are

Manual
Random
Borders

How about we add Random Borders.

It would randomly deploy on your borders instead of randomly deploying them on all of your territories.
