Quad Cities Map [Quenched]

[AndyDufresne]

Neutral 2's are nice because they allow the region to get into the game a little faster, or so I think, from my most recent experience with some neutrals on the Fractured China map.

I was checking the new files to send them to lackattack when i noticed there're few things to fix:

Big Version: Move Vandruff coords a bit to left (or the name to right) , see the spoiler for reference

show: big version

Small version: St. Ambros a bit to left, Vandruff a bit to left, Duck creek a bit to left (888 overlap Devil's glen), Green valley a bit to left and probably also southpark could be moved a bit to left. Finally elmore could go a bit to left.

show: small version

Be careful when you change coords (always doble heck if you're going to change the correct value before doing it) because it's easy to mess up your xml file

Sometimes drops are unfair. There's a +1 for the throne in Siege!, a +2 for the bowler in cricket, etc... I kind of like the map as it plays now. Starting with 23 regions in a 2/3-man game, 17 in a 4-man, 14 in a 5-man, 11 in a 6-man... it works. Adding a bunch of neutrals will make this map less fair due to region count.

Game 9761592

Why do I not get a bonus for arsenal? How do you get the bonus?

[Victor Sullivan]

It's an auto-deploy. ironsij fixed it for the next version.

Game 976041
It's acting strange on troops due count; Opponent holds "Eastern" so should get +2, I hold "Arsenal" so should get +1, BUT I'm getting no extra & he's getting +3.
Help! Cheers!

You're right the bonus of Eastern Towns is wrong. ironsij0287 could you please fix also this?
Thanks

That was actually Game 9760411. The one listed by Lord+Master is about four years old.

Revised XML:
download/file.php?id=271

Fixes in this version.

-Fixed legend to show that Arsenal is a +1 Autodeploy
-Fixed XML so Arsenal starts game as neutral 2
-Fixed XML so Eastern Towns is correctly worth 2 troops instead of 3
-Fixed XML number coordinates where "888" was not properly aligned
-Added missing bridge between Sunset and Big Island

[Victor Sullivan]

Two things:

1. Eastern Towns could stand to be increased to +3, with 3 borders and 5 territories - certainly harder to nab in comparison to Northern Towns.
2. The bridge that connects Big Island and Sunset is missing! I guess it was lost in translation somewhere along the line.

Was just coming in to say the same thing. Though I actually assumed it was an XML mistake and that there wasn't supposed to be a bridge at all. Might play more interestingly without one because it splits that bonus. Something to consider.

Aside from that, I love this map. Up there with Vancouver and Charleston as really great city maps.

Holy crap, I completely left off a bridge!

[ironsij0287]

There I added it to my latest map.

[thenobodies80]

I'm going to send the files to lackattack in any case, in this way the map will play correctly (bonus and autodeploy)

But must be said you added the bridge in the wrong way, in fact the river can't go in two directions in the same time!
Fix it when you can.
