Conquer Man [Quenched]

[WidowMakers]

The "Conquer Man + Alien + Diamond" +5 bonuses don't currently override the +1 for the diamond alone:

<continent>
<name>Conquer Man + Pink Alien + Diamond</name>
<bonus>5</bonus>
−
<components>
<component>Conquer Man</component>
<component>Pink Alien</component>
<component>Pink Diamond</component>
</components>
−
<overrides>
<override>Pink Alien</override>
<override>Conquer Man + Pink Alien</override>
<override>Conquer Man</override>
</overrides>
</continent>

And when are the neutrals going to go live? - currently the game is almost entirely about the diamonds.

I have been talking to Coleman this morning and he fixed the diamond neutral start number to 3 and this override as well. They all are in the XML he listed on the last page near the bottom.

If you find anything else please let us know.

Thanks again to everyone and Coleman for being such a XML freak.

I think you miss 1 territory adjustment. In the XML after the 78 follows the 84, so all from 78-83 gives you -6 bonus.

But if I calculate correctly you should get a -5 for 80 territories:

Normal: 80/3 = 26
This map: 30/3 + 30/4 + 20/5 = 10 + 7 + 4 = 21

So that means you should add 2 territory adjustments (80 gives -5; 81 gives -6).

conquer man has come very close to freezing my firefox on a number of occasions now, if my connection was not as good as it is - i think this could have happened. Has anyone been experiencing similar problems ?

BOB kills the map. Takes forever to load. Turn BOB off for this map.

It's got nothing to do with your connection...

The physical amount of data to download is minimal..

It's the processing that BOB is running which is Client side (i.e. on your PC) which is slowing the map down.

is it supposed to be that pixelated?

Yes.

It's a remake of a 1970's classic arcade game...

I'm having similar problems, the map stalls my firefox everytime I take a turn. It takes a minute or so for each dice roll, fortification, ect.
I see the suggestion of turning off BOB. How can you do this for just this map?

You can't. Just turn it off then back on when you take turns on the map. Click the little Monkey on the bottom right to turn it off/on.

Ok! Thank you very much

[Nickbaldwin]

One of my new favourite maps, thanks guys!

[yeti_c]

BTW - turning Map Inspect off will also help...

i've had problems with firefox and BOB and when i play it at work with nothing apart from the basics.

sorry to say, but i fucking hate it and once my first game is done, that's it.

unless I'm mistaken there is an xml problem with the conquerman bonus

in the above game i had the conquer man in round 11 as you can see from the log as i picked up my neg. bonuses for it and the aliens but i never got the +2 for conquer man

2007-12-27 08:59:21 - Incrementing game to round 12

if this is not an error and its just a case that you only get the conquer man bonus if you dont hold aliens / diamonds then this needs to be clarified on the legend

ps im really liking this game if only it wasn't so slow to play

[Coleman]

It's not an error, having conquer man and an alien is a 5 army shift, and an additional 3 less for each alien after that.

Getting the right diamonds is another huge shift back the other way.

just so you know, it is more a problem for the XML and internal coding, but hey, it happened on this map!

Great looking map, but man does it play slow...

With the new XML features the XML can be refined so that the map plays quicker with bob

he means it plays slow cause the map is big and games take longer to finish

BTW - new improvements to BOB will make this map play a lot quicker - just make sure your TextMap is off.

Yeah, if we had a public info page we could let people know this should be played freestyle escalating...

I do not like this map.
