Those 3 territories don't have the proper symbols associated in the code. So no.

Still one of my favorite maps Dolomite. I like that each game is a completely different experience. The one issue that I have come across is bad dice on your first couple rolls can cost you the game if your opponent is able to build a quick bonus... While dice is unavoidable, is there any ideas floating around about balancing the start of the game? I haven't been in the forums in a while... Might be time to pull my map out of the recycle bin. ;)

i like the versatility of the map in the fact that each time you play it you will need to be playing it differently there is no one strategy i dislike that there is only one real way to win the fact that you moght get to the win in different ways but you will always win by going through the center in some way.

Dwellers is definitely the strongest special feature.

The legend says Seas are killer 2. I don't think that's very clear. If I understand correctly, the Sea regions will always revert to a 2 neutral, but I think the legend is misguiding in that regard. Either just "killer neutral" or "reverts to 2" would be better.

Hi,
Me and a friend started playing this map but cant end. We are both totally baffled by it all. She has taken all my players on the main map and I only have troops remaining in those little side power bits. How can we end this?

I don't understand the coding here. According to the legend, all bonuses are cumulative. I have a favored territory which is also a cavern and I have the dwellers bonus. Shouldn't I get +1 for it being favored and +1 for it being a cavern?

I am only getting +1 (according to panel interface anyway, which may be wrong).

the panel interface is wrong, yes - it does not understand collection bonuses or conditional borders. however, in this case, you are also right in that caverns and dwellers need a tweak. once dolomite gives me an xml i will forward it to upload.

the "troops due" column in the overview appears to be correct though. just not the bonus section of stats.

Ive been a fan of this map since the day it came out...

I like....the variable bonus structure
I dislike...there still seems to be some bugs in regards to being able to see my opponents on areas I dont think I should be able to.
This may not be true however, I may just need to read the legend more closely.

Thanks for the great map!

Please explain the rules for attacking through the blood towers.

In game 14114514, green held v4 and f2 and was able to attack s2.

When red held s2 and t2 with 4 on t2, red was unable to attack either v4 or f2.

What rules apply?

thanks

Do you have the wizard power? The wizard power is: +2 for each 2 territory next to a tower, and once you got 2 you can attack any territory next to a tower from a territory next to a tower.
There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.

I think there is something wrong with the XML... here is my loss message:
2014-03-12 18:46:53 - DoomYoshi no longer holds Only Special Features

I do hold "Only Special Features"... that's why I lost... it reads weird.

Game 14132373 I had cosmic. In my first turn, I took a radiation region which is also my favored. The way the legend reads I would have expected to receive one bonus for the radiation and one for favored. But I did not receive the radiation bonus. Is that correct behavior?

Thanks

That is expected but I believe you are talking about taking D4 which is bugged.

Between a horrible cold that keeps coming back and late nights at work I haven't had much time to look into what happened to my fixes for that. I need to try and take care of that today. Perhaps during lunch.

I know it seems strange but the mechanic is there to simulate a magical portal that gets cut off once you send your initial exploration force through it and only reopens when you have no presence on the map. It is the only way I could give players a choice of starting position on the map and make it more difficult for someone to figure out your position on the map in a fog of war game.

An alternative way to do this would be to allow you to assault any of your favored territories if you hold none and yo be able to reinforce any of them you control that way you could move forces that you accidentally left behind or got via reinforcements from set trade-ins.

I will see if something like that is feasible and possible to fit in the map key.
