And this:

Beta - Quenching

---The Final Forge period has concluded for the FIrst Nations Americas Map. All objections have had their time. The Foundry and I hereby brand this map with the Foundry Beta Brand. Let it be known that this map is now ready for BETA Play. After an extended period of time in BETA and once all quirks and issues have been resolved, the map will be put into Full Play (barring any Lack vetoes).

Conquer Club, enjoy!

While the map is in BETA Play, there are a couple of administrative tasks that are required of the mapmaker(s) in addition to the initial gameplay testing:

Map Information Portal

a timely and constructive manner.

Your XML seems correct... there has to be some other problem.

Ok, the xml on the site seems to be missing the "reinforcements" part, for some reason:

http://www.conquerclub.com/maps/First_N ... ericas.xml

Maybe someone uploaded the wrong xml?

they did.

correct one is http://h1.ripway.com/Tisha1276/Combined.xml

which is on the first page.

http://h1.ripway.com/Tisha1276/Cmbined.xml - This is the XML file I sent to lackattack.... which explains the problem :oops:

I've now sent the correct file ;-)

To prevent mistakes like this, I usually try to overwrite the previous xml whenever I update it.

I usually do, this was the first time I didn't on ripway. I wanted to correct my typo.

The best way is to ensure that the links in the first post AND the latest links posted in the thread are the most up-to date ones...

Anyway, the updated file is now live ;-)

on the right side of the map it says you get one army for every 4 territories you own. It's suppose to be like that.

Just played my first turn on this spectacular new map. I love the opportunity to take advantage of my swivelling monitor. However, the nitpicker in me is forced to point out that SubArctic is spelled incorrectly on the map (both sizes) and Arctic and SubArctic are spelled incorrectly in the XML and thus in the game log.

Kudos to you, Tisha, and a tip of the hat to natty_dread, for changing the reinforcements to deal with the thorny first-round issue. It's an idea that is seldom discussed but works very well, avoiding the anguish of neutrals and starting positions.
