Yes it is weird isn't it Lone.prophet. That's because they haven't been given borders with each other, deliberately.

Why would you want to give all your ammunition to your neighbour, when they should get theirs from the ammunition dump, which if you think about it, could be the equivalent of the drop in CC games.

In this scenario's case, you can fort the artillery if you own the terts in front or beside it.

this map is quite fun I must say.

I think it's better for team games as I'm having some fun in my triples games just using the artillery to bombard away. I think those 14 territories are quite important.

with Fog of war the artilerry is very important

Yes edbeard i agree...i had a triples game with yeti and that dude that was dead, o benjikat (sorry i forgot his name) and we ended up playing real time...it was a blast, i learnt heaps about my own map.
Shame we don't have sandbox.

Takes some time to get use to but's a cool map. Lots of detail to understand

its the best map for strategy by far in my opinion-

I have to agree with this... I'm on my first game on this map and it is an amazing complex map... with great strategy just, became one of my new favorites

I think the trick is that you have so many choices to make when setting out each turn that it always feels like you might have taken another approach. At first I wondered at all the "continent" bonuses, but then I realized that to take advantage of them requires a lot of planning and effort, so it balances out.

I hope someone else tries this approach. Has anyone noticed some in the works with tis type of approach?

I think I've found a mistake in the XML... here's a screenshot:



You can't attack from Ney 04 to Reille 07, and if I understand the legend, you should be able to because Ney 04 is a cavalry territory.
Thanks
EDIT: Sorry for eliminating you in the above game, cairns. It had to be done Lanyards is next...

[Night Strike]

Perhaps that's just what you get for trying to attack me. Sadly though, I think you're right.

[edbeard]

I'm quite surprised at how long that took to be noticed in a game by someone
