Can you make a life size version of the map and mail it to AoN so that he can make sweet love to it?

you so funny!

Id play it in real life though

and in the next version if you skipped the chess idea (except for army movement) and add kingdoms with 10 starting points I can pretty much fucking promise you that you could sell this as a board game in rl.

that is truth

Love to find out who's the best 1vs1 player on this map so I've just started up a 1vs1 Knights tournament. Feel free to join:

After playing, I think that the bonus men shouldn't be given for half of the board. Usually in a 1v1, it will be pretty even and someone could have 32 terts vs 28 terts and get a large bonus which would essentially decide the game. Maybe 40 terts could give the bonus. That would be 5 rows.

Played one game and found the guy who went first managed to get the 32 territs (very lucky dice). Could not do anything as it was trench. Going to increase but thinking about numbers. 40 sounds high, but half way (36) sounds a tad better. Let me think.

Could you make it so that if you hold 25 or maybe 26 you also get +2 then it goes to +5 at 40?

No, as that would just mean players would attack on mass. I raised it to forty to stop this happening. Even though the odds of someone getting 16 territs first go are small, it just happened to me in a trench game. I lost round 3.

I just want to say again.... the map is darn near perfect.

This is a Oaktown sort of map.. that guy is smiling somewhere just from the karma this map is sending hom.

Its simple BUT friggin deep.

Its graphics are within the threshold of what you would expect of a chessboard.

Gameplay A+

and finally what makes it great is that it is different.

dude you didnt make another europe map or a state map. I know you borrowed from the chess Idea that was floated around here for 6 years, but you are the one that did it.

I dig it. I predict as people play it, and realize that in a way it is as strategic and slow as waterloo, it is going to become a favorite.

I might be wrong though... but at least from me, thanks

The current language: "You will receive 5 troops per round and 5 extra troops when you control 40 squares" is awkward ...

Perhaps it should read: "You will receive 5 troops per round." ... and then list the 5 bonus troops for controlling 40 squares under the bonuses ... with the rest of the bonuses ...

That is the thing though, it is not a bonus. It might not be the best English, but I have not found a better way of saying it.

Based on what I read in the XML, it is a bonus, as it is awarded for holding a continent. The game log will describe it that way, so why not put it on the map that way?
