Got it. It's easy to miss that, although that's a problem with almost all win conditions.

Thanks.

Do the 4 neutrals on each base have a purpose? if they were removed that might help motivate players to attack first,
or if some of the bases were easier to take, EG: 1st = 1 neutral, 2nd = 2 neutrals, 3rd = 3 neutrals, home = 4.

This makes sense, also in relation to Baseball that the last bases and home are more difficult to reach. The bonus values could also be in relation with the neutrals though.

Maybe players could start with a pitcher and a few (maybe four each or so) territories on the field? That would make the game more interesting, I think and break some stalemates.

You know what, that's not an awful idea. Not enough to gain any bonus straight away but enough to have a bit of direction in place from the outset.

Don't think it'd work, it'd make it luck only. First player to gain a bonus wins.
And before someone says it is that way allready, it isn't. In my opinion it's a good map, even for 2 players. Just don't play it sunny (and even if you do, it can get very interesting).

It would also be interesting to see you incorporate in walks and stolen bases somehow. That might help avoid the bottle-necking issues.

I dig this map despite its flaws and hope it works out!

Thanks.

You just made me think of an awesome UI suggestion. You are the man. =D>

Possible bug. But I don't know where to post to.
In Baseball:King of Diamonds Game #9519202
We are playing escalating and chained. So when I finished my attack from Willie to Jackie, I tried to reinforce going back to LD4. But the game would not let me start my reinforcement from Jackie, which has 7 troops on it. Please let me know where I was supposed to post this possible bug.

Thanks Kase

Fixed. Willie to Jackie is a one way attack, that is the reason.

maybe you already know this or maybe I'm just too dumb to understand this map, but is their a way to get to the home run balls after losing your pitcher when it gets bombarded? Right now, I don't think there is. I'm currently in a game where a guy only holds 1 home run ball and basically can't move. It has nuke spoils so It'll work out but what happens with escalating or flat rate? Without a way to retake pitchers or to retake the batter after losing your pitcher, I think it would be possible to create a literally endless game.

There is a winning condition of holding all four bases. Once you take them all, and after your opponent takes his last frustrating turn where all he can do is deploy, you will win when you start your turn.

This has been mentioned countless times now. Either "Control all bases to win" isn't grabbing people's attention, or they don't understand that it's actually a winning condition. Maybe consider rewording it? Would something like "Hold All 4 Bases for 1 Turn to Win the Game" be more effective?

by **callmecommander** on Wed Aug 17, 2011 1:43 pm

ok. Sorry. I didn't see that. All makes since to me now. Thanks for clarifying.

I can do the change if it's ok with Evil D.
