i notice that players receive 4 troops for holding Kraje (CR), but -2 troops for holding Bratislava and (CR) Kraj (without an e on the end). did u deliberately use Kraj instead of Kraje?

Oneye is on vacation for a week, but my guess is yes. Kraj is singular and Kraje is plural.

Yeah, that makes sense. 1 Kraj, or 2 Kraje. It would be the same as saying in English, "-2 with every 2 counties."

thank you.

there was this thought, but I left it as it is because space. and when you divide map on upper and lower part the legends are near "their" republics, I think.
melech14 wrote:2) In the instruction at the bottom right, the rectangular Box titled REGION is a bit confusing since (I think) the term REGION is used in the CR and SR instruction as the coloured area which has 3 or 4 "towns" within.... so what is being called a REGION in the box at lower right is referred to as a "town" in the CR and SR instruction. Maybe the rectangular Box could be titled "________ town" to show that it is still a town but with special attack features.


what is REGION (with rectangular box) is explained in lower right legend. in CR and SR instruction is explained what is Kraj. maybe I could change "Kraj - coloured area with REGION and 2/3 Towns inside its border". English is not my first language, so here I need any help.

Dukasaur has it. kraj - singular (as county). kraje - plural (as counties).

I haven't had any issues with the map or games I've played. I finished hosting a tournament and everything is going well.

in the legend, replace region by land?

from the log of Game 12979070: 2013-07-14 05:34:06 - RobNC17 received -2 troops for holding Bratislava and (CR) Kraj.

did u deliberately use Kraj in the xml, but Kraje in the legend?

update of results: of the 25 completed 1v1, auto-placement, sequential, escalating, chained, sunny, non-trench games on this map that have used the xml with n3 for the two capitals, starting from Game 12833388, both capitals were attacked successfully in 4 games, praha was the sole capital taken in 5 games, bratislava was the sole capital taken in 5 games and neither capital was occupied in 11 games. player 1 received a slovak kraj bonus once from the drop (4% of games). player 1 won 14 out of 25, so the map certainly passes the fairness test. the only thing "wrong" is thematic: in 16 games out of 25, praha is ignored and, in 16 games out of 25, bratislava is ignored, so the negative bonus is very rarely seen for these popular settings.

will reducing the praha and bratislava neutrals from n3 to n2 help the negative bonus to play a bigger part? should we risk damaging the successful tournament experience that chapcrap has had?

I did not make xml. I am looking at xml and for positive bonus in CR is used Kraje. but for negative bonus (hold every 2 Kraje in CR with Bratislava) is used Kraj. maybe here is problem?

I think we should risk this. I like the idea :)

We're in a game right now where BOB says one player has the bonus for Bratislava + 4 terts, but Bratislava is a neutral. Is this perhaps a BOB issue?

Game 13054196

Bratislava and 4 Towns (1)

The site's stats don't record this bonus, making me think it's an error in BOB.

Edit: After my turn, BOB now reports me as having these territories:

ZČK Kraj (CR) (0)Praha and 4 Towns (1)

However, Praha is still neutral.

governments, not Goverments.
Towns and Kraje or towns and kraje, not all four of these.
Town - attacks towns and land within the same kraj, not Town - attacks towns inside its kraj and land it is located in.

I agree that it is important to try to have all aspects of the map come into play. I see that a lot of research regarding whether or not these regions come into play for 1 v 1 has been done but what about standard and team games?

I don't think changes should be made just based on a 1 v 1 aspect. I think it is best to try to think about each type of game play including 1 v 1, standard with multiple players and team games.

I personally do not have the time to do this research but I think it is something good to think about.

well I did not any research for results, but I think now is map set up fine. not even for 1v1 because when I played it with more players the capitals were not important.

thanks for help :)

the difficulty with trying to analyse multi-player games is that, of the few games that are created each day on this map, there are more 1v1 games than all of the rest put together. trench seems to be relatively more popular here than on other maps, so maybe i can put together some figures for trench.

of the previously-analysed format (1v1, auto-placement, sequential, escalating, chained, sunny, non-trench games), only 5 games so far have used the xml with n2 for the two capitals, starting from Game 13091761, so we cannot draw any firm conclusions yet. bratislava was the sole capital taken in 2 games and neither capital was occupied in 3 games; praha was ignored in every game. no-one received a bonus from the drop. player 1 won 4 out of 5 (80%).

in Game 13091761, the game log shows: 2013-08-19 16:14:01 - pamoa received 2 troops for holding Bratislava and 4 Towns. pamoa held 8 towns, so u'll have to think of a way to describe this bonus in the xml that makes more sense.

Good catch...I'd say "Bratislava and Towns" would be sufficient (same for Praha)

hm, in xml is wrote "Bratislava and 4 Towns". do not know why it not works...

ian, thanks for analyse. do you think that in this stage could be bonuses changed? to make capitals more popular, more needed?

oneyed, the xml works as it is, they are jsut saying to change the bonus name in the xml.
"Bratislava and 4 Towns" must be changed into "Bratislava and Towns"
"Praha and 4 Towns" must be changed into "Praha and Towns"

in few words remove the number from the bonus name so it is consistent with games where player has more than 4 towns. It's just a name thing because the name is unique for the whole collection and the collection could be bigger than 4 towns.

Re: Czecho Slovak Fragmentation - bonus change?

Postby Oneyed on Sun Oct 06, 2013 2:50 am

what about to change bonus for capitals and 4 towns to +2 instead +1?
when we look at kraj bonus in the slovak republic here is +2 for each. it is 4 territoreis, 3 to secure. in the czech republic kraj bonus is +4 for every 2 kraje. it is 6 territories, 4 to secure. capital with 4 towns it is 5 territories and 5 to secure.
so I have two ideas:
1, make +2 for every 4 towns (in CR/SR) with capital or
2, make capitals +1 autodeploy.
