Age of Buccaneers

[Arama86n]

Just a quick throw in for support for the map idea. I can't see the map itself, so maybe it's been removed over the last several months, but the concept seems pretty cool. Hopefully we can get the XML modification to get taken care of. Really, it shouldn't be much more work than cut and pasting a line or three of code around to change the order that everything's done in plus some beta testing before they release the new feature.

Just wait 'till you see the map then. It should come with a warning label: "orgasm imminent"

Yeah I'd like to see the map since people say it looks awesome

It really is an amazing map.

Hope they get on making this possible soon. I want to play it.

To make sure I have an accurate understanding of what needs to be done, let me confirm that this is what happens below:

1) Player A holds a continent bonus, but Continent 1 has a Killer Neutral
2) Killer Neutrals are checked first, so the territory is turned to neutral
3) Player A held the continent bonus but did not receive it because by the time the check for the continent was performed, it was no longer all Player A's.

This is correct?

Yes it is correct.

If you chnge this there will be small changes to all maps. Because when you have 12 regions at regular maps with killer neutral and one of them is killer neutral you take 3 troops (as you lose the 1 territory before the bonus of the region number and so you will see 'receive 3 troops for holding 11 regions'). So its important the exact position that killer neutrals are checked.

Not that this minor change is a problem anyway.

What this map needs

-Continent X has 2 territories, 1 of them is a killer neutral - all owned by Player Y
-CC deals continent X bonus and assigns troops to Player Y
-Then CC triggers killer neutrals leaving Player Y sad, but hopefully Player Y will resiliently manage to take back that 1 killer neutral and regain bonus for 1 more round.

CC deals bonus first then triggers killer neutrals. And a lot of new possibilities can happen.

These mechanics applied to this map:

Bucanneers can conquer the loot which will bring great reward (3 x the number of neutrals on them). A 5 neutral troop loot will yield 15. Only valid for 1 round
Colonial Powers must avoid that those stinking Bucanners get that precious loot



P.S. - there was a problem with the image map file. Now corrected and available on the first post

As a side note. The coins you used for side images are not from the age of buccaneers. You have 2 spanish gold doubloon's and 1 Ancient gold piece. Likely Byzantine Empire. You would do better with a piece of eight in silver and then mixed with gold.





The Spanish coins you have now will work, but those are better. The Ancient has to go.


I should add 15th Century silver reached as high as $1500 USD, while gold was much cheaper at the time.

that's a point

I'll look at it as soon as we evolve from this point
