RELP RAGGY

where in the HELL is the 5th island...
I just played a 1vs1 on that map. BoB said the guy had the island bonus throughout. I see 4 islands, One had a neutral, I parkerd a 5 on one to stop his bonus. At my surprise he still got the bonus.. I searched the map all over and even asked him.

Where is the 5th island ??? nice map btw once I know where the islands are.

I think we've tested this long enough, am I right? Quench Time? (as well as the maps that were "beta'd" before this, except Cricket, as that seems to still have some issues)

Not yet - it;s not been long since the update which saw an additional territory added to the map.

Insomnia and I had 2 dub games start these last 2 days. The opponents dropped the island bonus in both of them. Fog games of course. And they had 1st move too.

Thats 2 of 3 games I've played.

2 things. WHY allowed....

and why is it worth as many as it is... 3 for 3 terts...

Think this map needs looked at a bit closer.

I don't know, maybe, they too should be starting locations.

As for them being 3 for 3 it's because they are in no way connected. Since they are scattered there's no real way to defend them as a group and you have to stack on them individually. Also I like the idea that they are a little stronger than the land bonuses because it forces players to take action more, and you can form a strategy around collecting the islands and building on the surrounding bonuses in other ways. In short I think it's just more dynamic.

Game 7857092 If you can drop this in 1 v 1 or dubs this is silly. Pearl Harbor gives you a chance to come back from unbalanced drops by being so large, but with an 18 region start it's impossible to come back when your opponent drops 12 to begin.

can you be specific?

I don't know if it's too late for comments on this map, but I also think that the island bonus should be less than +3. I recently played a 1v1 tournament on this map and the island bonus makes a real difference to the game if the player who starts also gets +3.
I'd be happier if it was +1, or maybe +2 at most, but with 6 troops to begin with, an extra 3 can really unbalance things.

Apart from that, I think the map is great, really interesting with a high skill level, but not too confusing.
