Classic times ten

[Merker]

It can be done (I'm one of those XML gurus btw), it would be very simple if we could get ahold the classic map xml. Nice idea btw.

Indeed it could...

However - it's not as immediately obvious as you might think...

To start the territories with the requisite large armies you would have to use starting positions - 42 of them to be exact...

This would break the 2 player game though - as with starting positions - they would all get assigned to the 2 players - and no neutrals would be generated.

Note you would also have to set every territory to <neutral>30</neutral> too...

And don't forget the reinforcements adjustment.

thanks!!

so, do you see anyway of getting over that?...
maybe if can we restrictic the classic map for more than 2 players only? 3 players would be ok with just a neutral 3 i guess...
and or trthen make another map for two players games... dont know how we can balance it tghouth... now that i think of it the first player always seems to have a huge advantage (anyway)...

Take 1 DEM of mars. Pick a datum. Fill with water, render terrain. Now the hard part, split it up so the numbers for each area, and the territories with links match the movements and links of the classic map exactly and then you'd have the map.. also leaving the option open to break it down more a-la mars 2.0....

Now this is interesting, anyone know if this DEM is available.

Is it possible to make this a Mod for all maps?

[Multiplier] [Normal]?

Game engine related rather than foundry. Try it out in suggs and bug reports

Although all maps would have to still be balanced with the multiplier.

I also think this is more an engine related suggestion. Maybe the original poster could open a suggestion in the right forum?

people should be saying stuff because this is an sweet idea for for i map

[scottp]

very interesting idea. i like it as an option. I would LOVE it for 1v1 games, because those are often won or lost by luck in the first turn's rolls of the dice. This would smooth out those drastic inequities in the first turn(s). Too bad Yeti_c says it wouldn't work for 2 player games. I'm not familiar enough with the xml to understand why not, but i'm beyond sure he's right. bummer.

I would like to play games of this type.

Kudos to the OP. great idea.

Wanna bet rsacheli, whitestazn88, and NightWolf have never taken classes in statistics?!
