1.1 on maps where there is no pre-deployed medic, a medic can be spawned once.
Rule 2. Pre-deployed units can attack but they are immobilized. They can only move if
2.1 it is a pre-deployed runner.
2.2 it is a medic.
2.3 it is the only unit which can reach a bonus wit space on first/second turn.
2.4 it is needed to uncover a hogged spawn hex.
Rule 3. Players win or lose by spawn-hog.
Rule 4. The medic cannot be killed, but it can be scrambled.

These are the rules as I understood it, but there are still some issues to be addressed, like 2.3. As raised on an earlier post by Juslas, can a pre-deployed unit attack units on its path to uncover a hogged spawn hex?

But the four rules achieve an interesting and complex gameplay. i think it should stay. However, since we are bound to make mistakes and unintentionally violate the rules (kill a god/medic or move a scrambled non-runner), maybe our TD could just impose penalties on the violator.

I like the "medic shield" to protect your scrambler. Very creative.

Oh sorry so this is the answer to 2.3

If spawn is covered and player has runners or scramblers they can reach spawn faster than heavy, since heavy moves only 2 hex a time. But since hex is hogged- summoned units can move?
I believe that this conclusion is correct:
2.4 all units can move and attack if spawn is hogged.
If we put it like this, it is understandably to me at least. Do you agree?
