Version 9....from suggestions above.

[Oneyed]

good idea.
could you move any Resource to Humbolt Bridge? there is big difference between decay (-1) and bombardment. the Resource in Green River adds to "Eastern" player advantage because he can more easy secure his bridge.

I'll see what i can do Oneyed.

I'm loving the tan inset explanations.

FT, is it the colours you're loving or the explanations? they are good for what i perceive as colour choice.

Both lol, but I was referring to the explanations. This has got to be one of the most "historical" feeling maps to date.

OK Version 10.
I had to move the resources away from Humboldt Bridge so that each side was even, but with this the "Morman" issue is each side of Prom Summit as a resource...Mormons for at Humboldt Wells and non-mormans for at Corinne.

the decay is out of gameplay here. while it is not possible to bombard yellow regions now, it is baseless if player will lost 1 unit each round - he will still hold the line...
btw, it is still possible to do decay only to the last players unit? it is not possible to do decay to neutral...

Oneyed

Decay to Neutral has not been implemented into xml yet.
we can make the decay larger if that is better.
or we can make 2 bombards and 2 decays.

[Oneyed]

Decay to Neutral has not been implemented into xml yet.

therefore I think decay is out off here.

this will do nothing. player will still hold the region (and line). it is baseless if player will have 100 or just 1 army here.

or we can make 2 bombards and 2 decays.

yes. but still - for what are decay here?

[koontz1973]

A good compromise here would be to make the decays large enough to stop players stacking on them. If you run out of troops on one of the decays, you could not put any auto deployed troops there for the next turn. From Omaha, if you hold Julesberg you can get a +4 auto deploy from Omaha and US Govt Grants. With unlimited deployments you can bung 4+ on Julesberg for the next round. Make the decay so high (-100) that no one can do this.

[isaiah40]

Oneyed

The decay is to simulate the loss of lives and supplies, and to rebuild what was destroyed.

thanks isaiah40...

yes Oneyed...think of this.
what koontz has said is correct...you could code it to stop players staking on them, but i think to simulate the conditions properly a balanced compromise would be needed and i would suggest -2 decay.

and...if there is only one bombardment place, then you will need to ensure you have enough troops on your start i.e. Omaha or Sacremento to do that bombardment when opponent has taken bridge first time
...but you are also going to have to deploy troops each side of the bombardment so that you can retake the bridges when you need to at the end fo the game.
In this way, it still becomes a "race" without worry too much about too many other bombardments.

[cairnswk]

Version 11.
a little touch up....
1. for FT, those resource notations should be clearer now in white.
2. a small bevel on the army place holders

[Oneyed]

looking good.
I understand your idea with decay. for me 2-2 (2 decay, 2 bombarded) would be better. the oponent will has much possibilities to attack you. but I am fine with current version if it is what you like

btw, did you thought about any "stations" instead circles?
