   3.8 Null battles are battles where one or both of the territories involved in the battle have lost their territory in another battle

   9.4 Clubs can only abandon if they’re being attacked and if they abandon the club that was attacking gets the territory for free as well as the 2 League points involved

AGREED

its huge

Thanks!

??

The rules lol it takes a while to read

Of course it does

I agree to all except for 3.9. I think that if the winner is the club with the territory they should get two points but not gain any territory.

If a club abandons a territory to form a super territory, does the super territory count as part of the club they joined forces with, or does it count as part of both clubs?

Agreed

They cannot join forces with another club. It's just retreating to your own club.

You mean if it is null there's no way to get a territory for either side?

agreed if only one team can gain then that is not very fair for the other club

OK, that makes sense. I might change that later on. But since some clubs have already made it back onto the board this way it might not come fast.

The reason I think it should be the way it is is because the battles in progress are still going and if a team wins why not let them have a territory if there is one to have? I think that all battles should be created equal

I agree with this...

oh, okay

What happened to declining if the territory has a match?

3.11 The maximum number of battles a single territory may have at any given time is 10
3.12 Clubs may decline a challenge to the battle if they have 3 or more ongoing battles already (Null Battles do not count)

ok
