The map 'Poker Club' is unbalanced in my opinion, because the royal flushes are not spread evenly. The one starting in the top left corner has a big chance of getting the royal flush of clubs, where the other royal flush (for example spades) are spread over the whole map. I have to cross the whole map (startin in the bottem right corner) to get the queen of spades for a royal flush. The same holds for diamonds and hearts.

Yes, you get one for territories.

As someone who loves that particular map, it really should be clarified. There are a lot of folks confused by it.

I believe that the XML cannot be coded to give 0 troops for a territory count bonus, so the bonus must be broken down into two sections as it is now.

see it this way:the bonus indicated on that map is the total amount of armies you'll get for holding your territories (for that round)

Any chance making the poker cards a pastel shade, so you can see easier where you border, what you have etc?

Moved to the Map Foundry, someone there should be able to merge this with the poker map thread. Although as it is already quenched, I highly doubt that it will be changed.

Last two posts merged.

Unless this is a serious, serious concern, I can't see this map changing. After being quenched for so long it is really the map makers discretion as to whether they wish to change the map or not. Unless it is a serious concern.

I agree that that it would be REALLY nice to get some color in those cards. When I mouse over neutral/unknown spoils, I can't see most of them on the map because the white square to indicate where the spoil is is completely on the white card.

However, I came here for a different reason. I looked at the XML and I can't figure out how he coded the starting territs. I see how he did continents and all the stuff about territ locations/borders, but I cannot figure out how he restricted the territs so that they never drop touching each other. Can anyone point me to the lines in the code that make this happen?

Code: Select all: <territory> <name>4 of Clubs</name> <borders> <border>9 of Hearts</border> <border>King of Diamonds</border> </borders> <coordinates> <smallx>157</smallx> <smally>132</smally> <largex>211</largex> <largey>169</largey> </coordinates> <neutral>3</neutral> </territory>

The non-starting regions are simply coded to be 3 neutral.
The rest of the regions are distributed randomly between neutral and all the players.

Yeti did a really good job with the XML.
