Conquer Club

I'm probably not seeing the big picture but it seems that there's too much to do with dice luck and a lot less with strategy. But as I said, I'm not good at seeing the big pic
But I like the idea, it's definitely something new and interesting. Even though I'm a huge fan of the less gimmick maps and I will always love the Classic map then I'm always waiting new and interesting maps to come out and give more and more diversity. And this map would definitely be worth waiting for.

Vace....basically all players get an opportunity to have a start, but some will be able to play the germans also in the town and in the castle.

Unfortunately, i am still well in development of this idea.

Sven....i don't want to type the text...but the a.k.a. part of the title (which will be reomved after a while) should tell the story....if you haven't seen the movie get it out on DVD....its very good. the title will also change later

Thanks yeti_C.
I will ask for good input from you on this one...there is a lot of balancing to be done if this concpet is to succeed.

Apart from the graphics, what work do you want to see Night Strike?

It just appears that there would be no point to getting the final objective. It seems much easier to kill off the opponents.

fair comment Night Strike....idea is still in development...so do keep watch....could change drastically as we go along.

I like the idea

benjikat wrote:Another interesting idea from cairnswk!


I'm a little confused about the objective though - which territories would need to be held to win? - obviously not just the airport because someone could start with that....

Yes benjikat....this is not my idea, but an idea from a famous movie....a.k.a. in the title....i just wanted to see if it could be adapted for play.....

the airport is just the start objective...i am beginning to think there will be multi terts for final objective....however.

Definitely...

Love the initial plan... I'll be watching (as ever)

on any of the white spaces.....whitestazn88...but these are not set in stone yet...

Amazzony....this will have no gimmicks in it, but i am hoping to develop something of a good strategy attack and conquer with enough variables to allow each game to be different, but to have a final set of objectives.

There will be some guards at the airport....but i am thinking that the final objective might have to be a plane (as this is where the story ends) after wiping out some other germa planes on the ground...plus the control tower.

if theres a movie i'll get it, thanks for the tip

i just love ww2 flicks

i've seen the movie description, and now looking forward to seeing the movie.

the idea is very interesting, in any case we need more objective games.

i'll be back with more comments after i see the movie

is there a tutorial?

how about if u can only attack forward? except on a few places of course, cause then if everybody started near each other then the first person to start might try and take out the opposition

oh mibi...i'm sorry i forgot all about you....i'll do one up and pm it to so you can understand better LOL

Bryguy...yes the start is still mixed up but that will need to be the case so that everyone deosn't try to take each other out early in the map.

ok thanks, cause i would hate to start the game and then instantly be killed

Version 2 Update:

Changes:
1. 8 starting positions more defined with one-ways to the two bridges.
2. Schloss starting to take shape
3. Airport more formulated
3. Roads to airport will be one-way also.
4. Of course, on a snowy Alpine background.

I will admit that it's much improved. I was actually thinking about one ways. Perhaps way up the trail should be an option to choose which way to go. One would take you to the objective while another would take you to the beginning to eliminate the other players.

There definitely needs to be multiple paths to get to the objective because one player could pretty effectively "clog-up" a single path.

As another suggestion (maybe not for this map), the map could be shaped like 8 thoughts with the objective in the middle. Players could start on the outside, but a map of that style would allow for borders to attack each other rather than purely going through neutrals to the objective.

I don't have a problem with a map that is effectively objective only.

We added them partially for such a possibility. Or so I believe. The trick is making sure we keep strategy involved. All luck would be terrible.

your army circles look too sporadic to me. It kinda makes it look messy.

Yeh Rj...this will improve next version...that i can promise.

Version 3 Update.

OK...some enhancements to the start area...
* army circles less messy for Rj.....
* new cable car armies for the wire
* town area starting to be formulated....feedback required
* legend moving to the top of the map
* some bonuses placed at the foot of the map...feedback required
