Unfortunately, Gilligan (our resident XML expert) has informed me that there is no such thing as conditional bonuses autodeploy (EDIT), so the doubled autodeploy is not going to happen.
Gilligan wrote:Well you can do conditional bonuses, just not auto deploys.
Notes:
Henry de Navarre should be Henri de Navarre.
The word is "Maisons," not "Masions" - it's right in the legend, but not on the map itself.
Bottom right corner - there should be a space between the comma and the "f" in "fences."
There should be an accent on the first lowercase "e" in "Entrée."
Legend at right - there should be space between "with" and "any" in "with any Huguenot." - though this will probably be deleted anyway, since it is impossible to code with current XML.
Legend should say H16 borders H26, not H18.
Dueler C35 still has an asterisk - please remove that, since it no longer means anything.
Question:
What (if any) regions do you want to start neutral (besides the buildings and the royals)? How many neutrals should they start with? Do you want any of them to be killers?sempai

Not sure I understand this.
You would only receive the bonus if you hold all Huguenots and all Catholiques in a given region, yes?
So simply holding Henri and all Huguenots in a region wouldn't give you anything if you didn't hold all the Catholiques in that region (0 doubled is still 0).
OR do you want Henri and all Huguenots in a region to give the bonus even if all Catholiques in the region aren't held?

koontz1973 wrote:cairns, honestly, I cannot see much wrong with this - but:
Movement between duellers is pretty well explained in the legend and I like the idea of having a map with no lines on it. But the symbols are overtly complicated IMO when you attack over borders. When you need to start adding examples in the legend, it might be time to try and have a think about a different way. When you consider that you have explained how the attacks work, why the need for the symbols at all? By adding the symbols and text, on the one hand you seem to be trying to stop any confusion, but by adding them, I feel you have added to it (I hope you understand this ). By removing the symbols and examples, you have more room to expand on the picture example making that even more clear. A simple line of text saying it goes over borders as well should suffice. What is your opinion on this?
Les Bonus.
+1 auto deploy dueller
Do all duellers get an auto deploy?
If I hold Henri or Charles, I double my bonus?
4So if I hold Henri and all of the green men in Port Neufue, what is my bonus?
Or does the doubling or the bonus only happens when I hold the bonus (both green and yellow duellers)?

I know their was something I should of done .
So Port Neufue is worth a total of 4 in auto deploys, 2 as a normal bonus or 8 if I hold 2 other regions (Charles and Henri). That is a lot to hand out?
sempaispellcheck wrote:Thank you both. I understand it perfectly now.
One question, though, cairns:
If you hold Charles and all Catholics in a region, but NOT all Huguenots in the region, do you want that to give a bonus as well?

[2]With the auto deploys being a large part of the bonuses, how about reducing the region bonuses by 50%? This would work better if you ignore [1]. So the first doubling will give you a normal bonus for the region and the second would give you double.

i think this option is acceptable for the small regions
but not sure about the larger regions...perhaps some adjustment needed for the larger.

I will run the numbers tonight then to see what the calculator spits out at me. Then see what might be good numbers.
