The New World [Quenched]

[Kaplowitz]

6 pages in one day? wow!

Its a pretty cool concept, i like how you are putting these conquest gameplay ideas into actual history. One thing i see is, the legend is hard to read.

Well, actual history is a stretch as I'm sure Unit_2 or qwert would be quick to point out but thank you.

I know, but it is not as much of a stretch as AoR: Magic

I think the european countires should border each other... that way someone can't just sweep through europe, you have to go through the landing zones.

[Coleman]

A question about gameplay:
Unless I've missed something, it looks like there is no way to go from the "New World" back to Europe. That would cause a problem because if someone were to take all the territories in Europe, then they wouldn't be able to loose because nobody could get back to Europe.

Also, if the above problem isn't a problem, or it gets fixed, then I suggest that mabye there could be a bonus for holding all the European territories. It is just a suggestions though.

The Europe countries can't fight each other inside Europe. The Europe countries travel back and forth through their landing zone. The only way to another Europe country is back up through its landing zone.

it might be too late in development (i haven't read the whole thread)

but why isn't russia included? didn't they populate alaska and parts of W usa

[yeti_c]

Hmmm - "Landing Zone" is a bit tricky to work out - perhaps some symbols in the territories might work better?

Also "home town" I dislike too - again perhaps some symbols? Like a temple, a teepee etc?

On this... Igloo for Inuit, Cave of Mapuche, Loghouse (or whatever they are called, but not Teepee) for Comanche and a temple for Aztecs would be best.

Assuming you start doing them.

No teepees...

No teepees is good for me... but symbols are good.

Im assuming you mean shouldnt, european contrys dont boarder each other.

Well, some reasons...

1) I didn't think of it.
2) There isn't really space for us to do this.
3) I wanted 3 player games to have all the spots filled when they were played.
4) It takes away our nifty ability to just say Europe and be talking about all the non-native countries. Russia would add extra wordiness to our legends.

going for a shower and then im going to update this and british isles

keep your eyes peeled

[Coleman]

Update 7

[gimil]

Ill do some work on refining the watermarks to make them clearer.

I also jsut relised i need to change hte port explaination in the legends.

[Coleman]

Upon further review we don't like the way South America's looking right now. Expect more work and for that port to go back where it was...

Version 8

[tenio]

looks good,

can another player control 2 or more empires?

Like the person who starts with dutch also controls the portuguese empire (but not necessarily the home world)

Not sure what you are asking. The person who starts dutch could take over the Portugese colony. Not sure why they'd only do that and leave Portugal itself alone.

In 4 or less players someone could start with Portugal and Holland, making them own both in their entirety right away.

[Unit_2]

looking good, get up the work

[Coleman]

Version 8 Again Just to keep the latest version on the last page.

i dont like the real overall brown look try to make it look a bit more happier

[gimil]

why?

theres nothing happy about rape, pillage and conquer

[Lone.prophet]

maybe cause the people who play it dont wanna be depresed?
and the legend is kind hard to read/ well not really but it blends in too much

My fault, I keep neglecting our to do list. That will get better. The brown is up to gimil though, he's the artsy one.

I dont see people feeling depression over the color scheme of a map.

"landing zone" sounds too modern. maybe 'voyage landing' or 'journeys end'

your right, ill change it to something else.

[Coleman]

Or just landing point. I think the zone part may be the modern sounding bit.
