Wheew. :lol: you're already on vacation.

Ok, so just change wei from 9 to 11. Change the names. And what about nanman, do I need to make that 2n? Anything else?

VJ,

The city bonus needs to be reworked using collections tags. If you need assistance let me know.

Borders/bonuses look okay.

Positions also need to be reworked. Can you give me a little bit more info on how it's supposed to work? The "start=1", what is the max positions on that? And the other territories?

Yeah, I really like this.

maximum of one position per player, with n2 underlying neutrals.

Seamus and VJ, I think this is the only one I downloaded, attached below.

For next time, use attachments here instead of fileden. :mrgreen: :geek:

Hope this helps.

Ian then said:
"maximum of one position per player, with n2 underlying neutrals."

Basically each player starts with 1 city, any that are neutral are 2n. So the max on cities is 1, and the rest of the starting numbers are based on the game size.

Here is the newest xml

As v.j. said we have updated the starting numbers to make everything work. The OP has been updated with the numbers, and the new XML has been attached. The biggest updates are for 1v1 games, going from 10 terts each to 14, and that Kauiji will now be coded neutral to get the numbers right. That is the perfect tert to code, nice work v.j.

Maybe we can get this out soon with Tribal War - Ancient Israel, that would be cool, a two-fer.

Was Kuaiji added as a starting neutral in this whole charade? It is in the XML but not in the first post map.

It was added earlier today to the xml and to the op.

From the OP, prob. just missed it.
STARTING POINTS

Currently 35 territories can be starting positions. This excludes 3 Capitals, Bei Ping West, Liang North, Kuaiji, and Nanman(2n) which will all be coded neutral (7 terts in total).

2p = 14 each = 28 total
3p = 10 each = 30 total
4p = 7 each = 28 total
5p = 6 each = 30 total
6p = 6 each = 32 total
7p = 4 each = 28 total
8p = 4 each = 32 total

Seamus, the xml is wrong. I will let gilligan know as well but here are the two big problems for you to fix.

The positions are all wrong. The xml should not be put into play. :?

You only have one position, not eight. Each of the following need to go into position tags like this.
- <position>
<territory>Han Zhong</territory>
- </position>
Yuesui, Hepu, Guiyang, Lin Hai, He Fei, Bei Ping Port, Liang.

The way you have it now, one layer will start with all cities and grab a nice starting bonus.

Second problem I see is the city bonus. You only have it for having 2 cities. What if I have 4 or 6 cities? Should my bonus go up or will it always be set at 2? This is an easy fix. Copy the continent as it is. Change the name to 3 city bonus. Change the bonus to 2 and the requirement to 3. You need to add an override into this new continent to override the previous continent. Carry on doing this till you have all 8 cities in the requirements.

Above needs to be sorted guys ASAP.

#-o I forgot to re-check the city bonus.

As far as the position bonus...oops. That's what I get for checking an XML the day I get back from vacation. ](*,)

That way works for city bonuses, but this way is easier that I pointed out last page:

Code: Select all
<continent>
<name>ConName</name>
<bonuses>
<bonus required="2">1</bonus>
<bonus required="3">2</bonus>
<bonus required="4">3</bonus>
</bonuses>
<components>
<territory>TerrName1</territory>
<territory>TerrName2</territory>
<territory>TerrName3</territory>
<territory>TerrName4</territory>
</components>
<required>2</required>
</continent>


the only thing to know here is that the bonus stacks (so in this example, for holding 3 you get +3, and 4 gets you +6)
