Hello!

Don't know if somebody already reported this, but I think that some of those territories are wrong: Desert 49 [-1] Desert 63 [-1] Desert 64 [-1] Desert 81 [-1]

I say this because in game http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?gam ... full_log=Y BOB is saying that blue will get 2 armies next turn, including -1 from Region Bonus.

I'm not following you Oliver... perhaps the confusion stems from the fact that BOB doesn't distinguish between a desert territory with two armies that will take a loss, and one with one army that won't take a loss.

Oh! Maybe that's the case and is a BOB thing. I will check more carefully and post here the final result (and if it's a BOB error, post also the error report inthe BOB thread).

it probably is a BOB error.
everything on the map works like it is supposed to, so I don't think its a map problem.

I think you'll find that it is 100% correct - but you are reading it wrong.

At the moment - BOB says - he is getting 3 for the next turn - yet has 2 territories with -1 - because he only has 1 army on these territories - then it knows that he doesn't lose any of them.

The Continents Display still lists them so that you know which territories will lose you armies...

You'll notice that when you get to the Grand Oasis - which has more than -1 - it even calculates the difference between the negative bonus to -1 and still gives the correct answer.

Just wanted to say that I've played a few games on your Oasis map, and I absolutely love it. The gameplay and map style is quite different to most other maps, and is a pleasure to play because of the change in tactics required. Well done on a fantastic effort, wcaclimbing!

I am afraid that either there is a mistake in BOB, a strange case not contemplated yet, or I am very ofuscated with that subject. Look at these images:

As you can see, BOB is saying that I will get 8 armies (9-1) but I will get 9 armies. So it is counting 1 army wrong.

Of course, I have absolutely no interest in saying that BOB is not working. On the contrary, it is a really good script that I always use (in fact I use Internet Explorer for normal Internet browsing and Firefox for CC so I can use BOB) I am just trying to point a possible bug that can be solved to make BOB even better.

If I find a pattern in that strange behaviour (or I discover that I am getting crazy and seeing bugs where they aren't) I will inform you.

You're about to lose an armie on Desert 9.

Hence 9-1 = 8.

But he has 2 oasis, so +6, and 10 territories, so +3, for a total of 9 to deploy.

It isn't the amount of Troops that you are about to deploy... It is the amount of Troops due that turn.

Oh. Then the number is correct. But wouldn't the number of troops you get to deploy be a more useful number?

Looks like conversation is wandering into BOB territory here... I'd suggest continuing BOB chat in yeti's thread, and leaving this one for the Oasis map ;-)
