+ <li><s>
+ Is it even worth publishing? can the problem be totally solved?
+ </s></li>
+ <li>
+ More maps? (a map is a {road length} × {initial stone count} pair)
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Leagues? I could conceive the referee being permissive
+ (allow 0 stones thrown) in the first one, and then strict.
+ Off the top of my head:
+ <ol>
+ <li>single small map, cheating is tolerated, boss plays 1</li>
+ <li>the four maps, no cheating, boss plays tit for tat</li>
+ <li>full map continuum</li>
+ </ol>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Fog of war? (see only troll position, not enemy
+ throw/stones left) Probably not in this game, be it simple,
+ variable (seeing enemy stones is a boolean decided randomly
+ as part of the map) or by distance.

+ I'm not maintaining the full changelog here anymore as the

+ This draft's last change is:
+ <strong>
+ game parameters can be overridden.
