Re: Atlantis: Guarding

If I understand this thread correctly, the concerns about
guarding involve portal cities from Atlantis City and allowing
newbies out of Atlantis an into new fronteers.

Perhaps a solution to this problem would be a modification of how
stealth works.  Make is easy for one unit to be stealthy and
difficult for many units to be stealthy.  This would allow newbies
to pass through controlled regions but not allow armies to
go cruzing through someones region.

Another idea would be to make the guard ability proportional to
the number (and perhaps skill level in "guard") of guards on
duty.  If there is only one guard it would detect and stop only
large forces.  If there were one-hundred guards then units of
size greater than say two would be stopped.  The smaller units
could pass through undetected.

Does this seem reasonable?
