Das Schloß [QUENCHED #2]

[Herakilla]

i like the concept, but you will have to put a huge decay on certain territories where players can cut off other players easily such as the check points, whoever can hold those (fat chance i know but still) will effectively be free to roam!

this map needs a backstory or something... right now it looks like a Minard on acid.

Mibi...i looked up minard in the dictionary...can't find it anywhere...care to explain please.
And what exactly do you mean by a backstory...sorry i'm a little dumb to someone such as yourself who is an inventor of ideas

Just a thought; you could ease congestion on the cablecar, by allowing each car to attack the 2 either side:

  O |
/ | /
| O
\ | \
  O |
/ | /
| O
\ | \
  O |
/ | /
| O

Does that make sense? (sorry about the naff text picture!)

Minard

and a back story would just be a blurb on what is going on, not related to gameplay.

Like time period, who is what, whats the point, because when you add up the foreign language, foreign gameplay, and foreign looking map, its all quite foreign... a back story would help orient people a bit. In all my ignorance of the subject, it looks like a recreation of the germans invading antarctica in WW2.

wonder what this map would be like if all the wording was in german



Wahrscheinlich etwas wie dieses, aber es kann nicht sein, könnte es am Ende anders sein, aber immer noch, ach, und ich wäre völlig durcheinander, indem sie

It makes very good sense MrBenn. thank you. I had thought about it but just not put it forward.

Goodness, Minard would have a dreadful time,
I think if people really want to know what the german is they'll google or similar; and the foregin language i think adds to the war reality of the map.

why am I not going to go the same route up the cable cars that the person did before me? It seems like theres a bunch of cars just because you can fit a bunch of cars there. I'm not sure there is any way to make it so that the alternate route won't be used by the second person. Unless I leave more armies on the cars than the neutrals on the other routes. Maybe this is enough reason to put that extra route. But, they could always put armies on the Kontrol areas to block you anyway.

In terms of strategy, I'm going to do my best to control the whole airport and lower area, then hold off my opponents saving the castle for the very end. I don't think you've addressed the 'problem' of the castle being the last area players will go. Maybe this is what you want, but it just seems silly to me.

The only other time people are going for the castle are if they are cut out of the east side of the lower german area (and/or the airport). Now, you have to go through all of that mess just to get back around the bend. There's no bonuses for you at the castle. You've all but lost already.
