Stones at corners.

Does that work?

Oh my... This is looking lovely. I like the look of your stones, koontz.

Thanks chapcrap.

OK, I am now pretty sure this is the final version game play wise. Can I ask the blue boys for game play to give me any changes they want to see in the way of neutrals and bonuses please.

Added Prometheus fire traps out side of each starting territ. These are killer neutrals to make the game a tad more fun. :lol:

Minor changes to the map.
Spelling mistakes fixed.
Just need the get go from the game play boys.

The traps are kind of pointless around the edges, they would need to be beside 1 territ, not 2 to be effective.

Here I will have to disagree with you. You are right that they may never get used, but the purpose of them is to give players a choice. Do I go over the more neutrals of the dead warriors or take a quicker path and lose a man only to get him back with the easier bonus of the Minotaur. With the reinforcements set at 1 for 4, you are only going to get three for the first couple of goes. So do you really want to try your luck going 3 against 2 neutrals for two turns?

by **DoomYoshi** on Thu Jun 14, 2012 9:50 pm

But if you take the trap, you are getting only 2 to go against anything. If you go for the Minotaur, and take the trap, you are only back at 3 reinfiorcements per turn. So why not just build the dead warrior up?

EDIT: playing nuclear, I would take a trap.

by **koontz1973** on Thu Jun 14, 2012 9:57 pm

Because if you take the trap, you have 3 territs and as soon as the Pegasaus is taken, you are back to your 3 reinforcements (if you have taken the swords and food).

I'm sorry, I don't understand. It says 1 reinforcement for 4 territs. Does that mean it starts at 3 and when you get 4 territs, you are at 5?

The sword is a bonus of 0 until you have 5. The food is a bonus of 0 until you have 3. There is no bonus listed for the Pegasus so I really am not following here.

Sorry, the normal reinforcements you get in games for holding territories.
So you start at 3, get the +2 auto deploy and attack. When you hold four territs, you get +1. This is the same as in all games but instead of the normal 1 for 3 territs, it is 1 for 4 territ. So every 4 you get, your normal reinforcements goes up by 1. But now as you mentioned it, I need to change it to 1 for every 5 territs to counter the slaves entrance.

by **DoomYoshi** on Thu Jun 14, 2012 10:19 pm

Ok, that's what I was trying to get at. So a log line would read

Doom yoshi Received 1 troop for holding 1 territory
Doomyoshi received 2 on slaves entrance

Or

Doomyoshi received 3 troops for holding 1 territory
Doomyoshi received 2 on slaves entrance

?

And yea, If it is at 4, without taking the trap you are up to +4. I would suggest going to 5 anyways though. That keeps the incentive to go for the bonus areas.

Glad we got that settled. :mrgreen:

by **koontz1973** on Thu Jun 14, 2012 10:55 pm

Changed the reinforcements to 1 for 5 territs.

The swords bonus is probably a bit hard to hold. Not sure if that matters, just a final comment. This will be a good one.

I thought we agreed to lower the neutral on Prometheus from 50 to 30? Especially with the change to 1 troop for ever 5 territs. But other than that, I honestly think we can get this one ready for the GP stamp. I will sticky it and if anyone has any issues, now is the time to make them known.
