CC City Mogul [Quenched]

[mibi]

I dunno DiM, after looking at this map again, I don't think it will be too popular. There isn't enough bait on your fairly large sized hook. If you know what I mean.

I'd loved to be proved wrong though.

Thanks Forza.

congratz dim

[DarkMalkin]

Quenched, quenched... but when do we get to play it?

[Erland]

Yes, when???? I am SICK of small numbers causing random outcomes seemingly with no relation to the odds, especially on maps like Treasures of Gallapogos and have been looking forward to the concept of this map!!!

[t-o-m]

Well done DiM.

[DiM]

[BENJIKAT IS DEAD]

Just taken my first turn in a 1v1: http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=3246564

I got 201 armies as expected. Because of the arsonist, I was able to reduce my opponents first turn deploy to just 81!!

I think the arsonists will need to be MUCH larger neutrals.

[kmhebert]

Yeah, my first thought was "Are you KIDDING me?" Seems very unbalanced at this point.

[t-o-m]

Love it.

Well done DiM, you've created a monster!

I was just about to say that

[edbeard]

are houses supposed to start with only 3 armies?

[DiM]

actually something is wrong here.
i have been gone for a long time and i don't exactly remember how xml works but each player was supposed to start with a home and a shop of the same colour as the home in either the E or the W quarter. that would have meant a bonus of just 40. thus making the arsonist's 50 neutrals big enough to avoid round 1 trashings like benjikat experienced.

instead i see people are starting with lots of shops. that's not good.

from what i remember yeti should have done this with starting positions or something like that but i don't know more details.
hopefully when yeti comes he can sort this as i don't like it one bit

sorry guys.

[Gilligan]

No problem DiM -- We all make mistakes

[Opera Man FL]

Agreed. Either the arsonists need to be much larger, or the territories per player adjusted so the first round allotment does not allow immediate conquering of the arsonists, thus allowing a player to decimate his opponents ability to wage war in the first turn. Overall, the way the map currently works is no better than leaving it up to the dice.

As for the concept of more troops to allow proper dice odds to prevail based on strategy, this concept is good.

[t-o-m]

I think people should be able to just about get the arsonist, at the start - but it would leave him with around 10-20 armies, too weak to do anything.

[yeti_c]

There are 8 starts - remember that if you play 2 players - then you will get 4 of those each?!

Bit surprised that houses are starting with 3's though - I haven't got time to take a look til tomorrow though.

actually i would have liked it so that each players starts with just 1 house not split them equally. i thought starting positions does this.

[Kemmler]

for goodness sake leave the map as it is... at least until I get to general...

I love it.

please don't change it.
