Shocking news! You don't even play the game anymore!

It's part of the game kaishin, and is never gonna change. If we don't dance we then rush on the enemies. No change to game mechanics/units/weapons is gonna hange that unless you halve the movement of units lol

In real wars all soldiers rush into the battles after all... wait they do not!

They also don't shuffle positions around the battlefield.



As I proposed in the chat, we should make maps shorter, so dancing encompasses another aspect of fighting: cornering (or pushing back).

Except in very few situations, it's not feasible to back the opponent into a corner. Shortening the maps changes this and allows players to push each other back and gain a significant advantage from it.

Admittingly, this new aspect is a lot easier to wrap one's head around in the middle of a battle, but that's where it shines. Eventually, new players will have to learn how to dance. It will be much easier for them with this aspect added to the game.

P.S. Take notice of the fact that blue is not up against the edge of the new stage. They are 5 columns from the side. The field should be shortened more so they start with more room than orange, with orange countering by getting to pick its formation first.
