Philadelphia: BETA - image/xml updates - 4/17

[Gilligan]

Just my two cents, but I think it'd be neat to make the underdog bonus "for being an underdog"

Gilligan received 4 armies for being an underdog

But that's just me

Congrats RB0. Another step in the right direction for this one.

Not a bad idea Gilly, I'll add that in there, thanks guys!

YO, ADRIAN

WE AREN'T READY

There seems to be an XML issue that's out of our hands on this one. Working on it ASAP.

[RedBaron0]

whata, huh? you getting senile in your retirement Gilly, or can you enlighten me??

[Gilligan]

Just letting everyone else know - talked to RB on Skype, and there's not much that I know about it. Reaching out to admins, hope to get an answer soon.

Collection bonus updated and good to go, just so everybody knows.

Beta - Quenching

---The development period has concluded for the Philadelphia Map. All objections have had their time. The Foundry and I hereby brand this map with the Foundry Beta Brand. Let it be known that this map is now ready for BETA Play. After an extended period of time in BETA and once all quirks and issues have been resolved, the map will be put into Full Play (barring any Admins or Foundry Foreman vetoes).

Conquer Club, enjoy!

While the map is in BETA Play, there are a couple of administrative tasks that are required of the mapmaker(s) in addition to the initial gameplay testing:

1. Please ensure that the first post of the thread contains all the necessary information to help future visitors to the development thread; it's particularly important to ensure the most recent images are there, along with any helpful guides (such as gameplay quirks/nuances or the location/size of any starting neutrals etc.)
2. It is the responsibility of the mapmaker(s) to ensure that they respond to further feedback in a timely and constructive manner.
3. Write a "creative" map description and send it to thenobodies80 via PM. You're encouraged to post it into the first post of the thread as well; the description will be used to populate the maps database.

It's live!

[Seamus76]

Congrats!

[RedBaron0]

YAY! Thanks!!

Take note to you BOB users: the collections bonus shows up as you always having the +4 1 region bonus. Please pay attention to CC's log and stats for your proper bonus.

I'll also likely have a small XML update to make to the title of the underdog bonus, it comes up weird in the log the way it is currently written.

2013-02-18 18:05:46 - RedBaron0 received 4 troops for holding for being an underdog

I'll post that up after a bit of time has passed with any other possible, necessary changes.

though my thinking is not important, i REALLY hate that bricks texture background, i always think when i look at a map - that every brick is a territory for itself!

won the first official game on his map.

I'm from the area. originally lived in levittown, then northeast philly on somerton territory, then my parents moved to s jersey while i was in college. then after college i moved to roxbourough then back to s jersey for a couple years after i got fired from a job. now i live in bryn mawr near villanova. now id like to move somewhere and find a nice southern or midwest girl with some good values.

like the map but i wish you could have found a way to implement the entire delaware valley. The suburbs mean as much as the city... at least to me anyway. I'm not big into going into the city

And I could do without the Rocky figure. I find the entire Rocky thing embarrassing.

just started a trips game on the map and pink is very hard to see on the map and I'm not colour blind. I find all the troops hard to distinguish I have to really concentrate hard just to see where everyone is.

I did also think the underdog bonus was broken, but I see RB already posted that it is BOB that is wrong not the game. Interesting idea though, as you get down you get more troops.
