Official 2010 CC World Cup Event

[MrBenn]

Right then, let's go with option #3

http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/1/9/2259283//WorldCup03.xml

When this goes live, the territory bonus will be capped at 3, meaning that no matter how many territories you occupy, you'll get the standard +3 to deploy, with any additional reinforcements you get from bonuses.

[natty dread]

I think you will have to adjust the images too, to add a line in the legend that tells about the territory bonus... we can't expect every player to have been following this thread.

The Jamaica map's legend says "+3 for any number of territories" if I remember right... that should work here too.

When this goes live

When will it go live?

[MrBenn]

I've forwarded the files to lackattack, and you'll know when it goes live because either

a) He or I may post in this thread to say it's been updated
or
b) You see the additional line of explanation on the map image in game:

[Ffraid]

When will it go live?

Hopefully before the singles tournament starts.

I'm very disappointed to see a new map start with 12 terits per person in 1v1. Shame that you couldn't have made it more balanced.

I actually thought this had been addressed - here's a quote from the development thread:

Each 'seeded' team is in a starting position, which means these will be distributed evenly.In 1v1 games, each person starts with 11 territories

I guess my maths must've been off... Let me see if I can fix it

edit: I think that the way to fix it is to lose the starting positions and the extra army on the seeded team...

...Sounds like the extra army is the problem.

I was wrong about the extra army being the problem. I didn't really understand what you meant by "seeded teams being distributed evenly", but now that I've looked at the 1 game from the doubles tournament that has started, I get it.

The math went wrong because, in a 1v1 game, after the seeded teams are divided up, 4 to a player, the remaining 24 teams are divided evenly by 3, giving each player 8 additional armies, for a total of 12, instead of all 32 group positions being divided by 3, which would have resulted in each player starting with 11.

Batch 1 games for the Singles tournment will be sent out tonight. Remember to keep 3 spots open if you're freemium!

OK so there is a slight delay due to MrBenn's slight alterations, but Batch 1 will be sent ASAP!

Woo, won my first game, not knowing what the Hell I was doing.

Also, winning gave me a nice leaf. Let's see if I can hold it now. =D

[Queen_Herpes]

FYI...coding bug...

Impossible to fortify from winning to runner up (and vice versa) in same group even with all group countries held. Please send me a PM to let me know if this is supposed to be this way.

great game great game ,i won no hand ball,but it hurt my brain

I posted this in bug reports...but probably shoudl be posted here, too...

Concise description:

• fortifications aren't working on this map

Specifics:

• cannot fortify from winner Gp * to runner up Gp * (and vice versa) in same group even with all group countries held. Despite the fact that attacks are all unidirectional from these positions. [e.g., a player can attack from RSA to winner Gp A then attack runner up Gp B then attack ARG then attack runner up Gp A.] (You would think you could fortify back through the way you attacked through...)
• cannot fortify from Finalists past Semifinalists although you can attack from finalists to semifinalists to quarterfinalists to winner and runners up to groups.

Game:
Game 7132570 But I imagine it is this way with all games on this map...

Seems like fortifications should be able to go the directions of attacks. None of theses are bombardment nor one-way attacks.

That's not a bug, that's adjacent fortifications!

[wilkinc]

Is this the place to let you know that it should be 'Uruguay' instead of 'Uraguay' and the short version should be 'URU' instead of 'URA'?

Cheers

Oh God, CLICKABLE MAPS NO LONGER WORK ON THIS MAP.

I'll just cry in a corner until this is resolved.

Thank you all.

[pamoa]

that's what I told clickable and BOB are out of order
aaaaargh heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

[-=- Tanarri -=-]

Not sure if the XML was suppose to be updated yet or not, but as of 2:00am EST today, the territory bonus is the standard 1 for every 3 still instead of being capped at 3. The graphics have been updated to show it should be capped, but it's still awarding the extra troops for holding 12+ territories.

I'm in the team tournament and my partner is not joining the games, what will happen?

*facepalm*

[cachejob]

map at bottom says no territory bonus, every player receives +3. in my current game my opponent got 4 off the start for 12 territories?

Game 7130220

[Army of GOD]

I think the update came right after he started his turn. Don't worry, he's getting the normal +3 bonus now.

WHEN IS THE CLICKABLE MAPS PROBLEM GONNA BE FIXED THE SPEEDGAME HOLIDAY ENDS TODAY AND I CANT PLAY FREESTYLE GAMES WITHOUT THEM
