This must be an internet speed issue. I cashed a set of 80+, eliminated someone, cashed again, did the rest of my turn, and was done in under fifteen minutes.

No screw-ups, no mis-advances, and we ended up winning.

Looks like you gotta speed things up a bit

It's huge, requires thinking, but I love it!

I played a speed game on this earlier with our man AAfitz Game 6319308

This game took us about 45 minutes to complete, most of the time was spent mopping up armies at the end of the game, i think that instead of the middle honeycomb we could have say an objective with 1000 men on it... this would make finishing the game so much quicker and easier. either that or put say 400 armies on it, and then make it a bombardment spot to bombard all territs...

Just a suggestion

The Queen bee - perhaps?!

C.

+1 to that, though i have yet to experience a hunt for the last player. I wouldn't think that it would take more that 2 turns though...

Took like 10 for me…

Although I haven't gotten to try the map out yet, adding bombardment of any kind would put me off the map almost entirely. I have been watching the development of this map because I love classic gameplay without all the bells and whistles some ppl are so fond of (bombardment, i guess really, cuz i've come to like the idea of one way attacks). So for me, as soon as bombardments or an objective are introduced, the map loses a lot of its appeal. I'll probably still try it if that's the case, but to have a map this massive with purely classic gameplay would be worth ten rounds of mop-up to me. That's just my ten cents.

While the map is nearing the end of the Beta phase, the mapmaker(s) will be asked to populate the Map Portal Database.

EDIT: Well, tomorrow has come and gone, and the upload succeeded. Here is the link if you wish to examine it:

Was the only change the addition of leading zeroes?

PS. I like your Blue Meanie avatar

Actually two other clusers, I1 & H9 also have openings on two tiles.

Thanks Widowmakers, I am exceedingly glad you pushed this map through to completion.

I was hoping that a victory condition of that type could be implemented here.
There have been requests for it throughout this thread before the XML update was made. At least you know it's possible.

Assuming it's something that WM would be happy to implement, how much of the map should be required (in terms of territory numbers - there are 350 in total)
