Good Morning Woodboro (V7.X) -- Home for the Holidays

[Evil DIMwit]

Hm, I like the map, but only getting 1 troop in the beginning makes it a bit tedious and dependant on dice. I'd prefer if you would change the territory bonus to 2 troops.

Upon playing a couple of games, this makes sense to me. Anyone else care to opine?

[TheForgivenOne]

Totally agree. If you have horrible dice at the start, you are in essence screwed

[natty dread]

If you're feeling bold you could even up it to 3. Although it might be best to go a step at a time...

[Evil DIMwit]

I think 3 puts us in danger of first-round eliminations, so hopefully this step will be enough.

Sorry if I didn't see this in the earlier discussion, but why can't the antennas attack ALL the houses, similar to the yard in Super Max? Ditto with the sponsors. Seems like with radio competition as the fundamental premise, then geography/proximity should be largely irrelevant to the gameplay, except for a bum-rush of the stations or pirate stations to seize the antennas.

Well, because then the gameplay would be ridiculous.
If you must, think of it as station popularity spreading by word of mouth from neighbor to neighbor. The fanatics are always scanning the airwaves, so stations have to boost power to the antenna temporarily to get noticed by them.

Waiting over - the adjustment has gone live!

I like the minimum bonus increase, even though it's only been two turns I think it's definitely an improvement.

Stations lightened at the request of a Gray player:

Well, +1 was a disastrously dice dependent and slow game. I will try to play it with +2 and see how it goes.

[GloverParkDude]

there aren't 8 radio towers so there shouldn't be able to be 8 player games.

Pirate stations are starting positions in 7-8 player games.

I didn't notice earlier, but you mention 'no regular territory bonus' --- instead of 'region,' and territory as a word doesn't seem integral to the theme.

If you insist.
