+1 bonus for every 3 track locations you control while your car has fuel.

I think this is a fine suggestion.

I have been working on making a two lane track but I am having a hell of a time with the graphics on it right now.

I want to do something like a slot car track and have locations either on a single track or on both tracks but creating the base graphics with two lines around it has thus far proven to be incredibly difficult.

I will tray and work on it this evening but it could be a week or two before I have a final graphic. I will post my working graphics as I go along for people to comment on.

I haven't had time to do any work on this .. I don't want to put the map in mothballs just yet ... I will devote more time when Monsters! is moved into Beta =)

[dolomite13]

Monsters! is finally in Beta ... I am finishing up graphics on "Gulfe" and will have an update to this map very soon.

Lanes are still a problem ... I have tried making good lane lines many times over the past few months and have been having almost no success. But I will give it another try .

p.s. I just got engaged =)

Note that Objectives aren't allowed to contain continents - and therefore will make your XML VERY large.

Just to point out - this comment is no longer valid.

it appears that development of this map has stalled. when u want to continue with the map, one of the cartography volunteers will be able to put the thread back into the foundry system, after an update has been made.

congratulations on ur engagement!

OK ... I have been pondering this map for a while now and decided that I don't want to do lanes like the circus maximus map ... I however did decide that I would break the track down into 10 segments of 3 locations each. I also decided that I want to create a split map like Arms Race ... and I didn't want a victory condition map type map. So I split the pit crews, cars, and pit equipment into one half and the track into the other half and separated them by a "Winners Circle".

Feel free to submit your feedback =)

Territories: 78
- 24 car conditions (tires, fuel, engine)
- 8 pit crew
- 15 pit equipment

- 1 winners circle

Connections
Track Locations
- Track locations can assault other track locations in the same track segment or next segment counter clockwise.
- All track locations can assault the winner circle.
Pit Crews
- Your pit crew can one way assault all of your teams car conditions.
- All pit crews can assault any pit equipment.
- All pit crews can assault the winners circle.
Pit Equipment
- Pit equipment can assault other locations of the same equipment.
- Pit equipment can bombard car conditions of the same name.
Winners Circle
- Can bombard any map location.

Starting Forces
- Cars conditions start with 1 neutral on each location.
- Winners Circle starts with 20 neutrals.
- Pits crews start with 3 on each location.
- Pit equipment starts with 2 neutral on each location.

Bonus Forces
+1 for every 3 sections of track you hold (minimum +1)
+1 for holding all 3 track locations in a given track segment.
+5 for holding one of each piece of pit equipment.
+2 for holding a tools and jack pair.

+40 if you hold one track location in each of the 10 track segments.

Deployment

In a 3 player game
- all players would have 3 pit crew each with 2 remainder set to 1 neutral. (8/3)
- all players would have 10 track locations each. (30/3)

I'm a little tired right now so let's take this one step at a time. The Winner's Circle: Does that bombard just every territory on the track, or every territory on the map at large?

I was thinking every territory on the map but I was also thinking of having it bombard every territory not on the track and adding "Pit Row" as a place that the crews can attack same as the winners circle and allow it to bombard the track. The track is still the most important that it gets you the big bonus for a complete lap. Not sure overall though I thing bonuses need some tweaking etc...

Your recent post says track locations attack clockwise, but the legend say counter-clockwise, the numbering of locations is counter-clockwise, and I think most tracks in RL go counter-clockwise, so I'm guessing the text in the post is in error.

Correct

now that u can no longer eliminate someone's pit crew immediately from the start, the gameplay now looks credible. well done! the segment bonuses have the potential to cause difficulties for player 2 in 1v1 games because they will often be unevenly distributed. this can be solved by letting the 10 middle locations of each segment start with either 1 or 2 neutral troops. if this is done, then changing the track location bonus to +1 or +2 for every 4 (with no minimum) instead of +1 for every 3 (with a +1 minimum) will also be beneficial.
