[Vacation - valid until Sept 2013] WWI: Gallipoli

[cairnswk]

I'm afraid I haven't had enough time or brainpower to sit down and give this the thought it needs.

It's definitely moving on, but it would be nice to gauge how much support there is before moving on to the next stage.

[Advanced Draft]

Well thank you for moving this one.

But how about moving Trafalgar into the Main Foundry so it can garner some more support, i think i've earned that move, after all it is up to version 20.

[Incandenza]

I feel like the legend still needs a lot of work... you show the allied invasion craft, then talk about beaches, then go back to detailing the characteristics of the landing craft. Are landing beaches and shore positions analogous, or are shore positions any given terit that borders the water? Can the XML even do "killer reducers"? (I'm assuming that using the word "killer" implies that the terits will decay until some point, obv 2 or 1 armies in the terit, then will revert to neutral... otherwise you might want to use the word "decay"). Exactly which terits are considered "villages"?

I know, you still have more graphical stuff and impassables and flourishes and what not to add. Just throwin' some initial thoughts out there.

Yes the starting terr is clearer now, but it would be good if somehow you started as either ANZACS or turks, in order to have more of the Gallipoli battle theme.

LUKE, the only way i could accomplish that is to start every odd player as Entente, and every even player as Turk. This would defeat the purpose of the random drop, and also the purpose of the new team addition where one can join certain teams.
This gives plauer one and two on a team opposite drops, which also defeats the purpose of playing as a team.
Therefore i have chosen to start every player on each area and it will be up to them to decide which side they want to play.

[LLLUUUKKKEEE]

Yeah, it was more of a dream then a reality, I understand that it would be impossible to start as 2 sides. And if i can remember 10 years ago to high school, the gallipoli campaign was a disaster, so lucky i can start on both sides.

Exactly.

It would appear that development of this map has stalled. If the mapmaker wants to continue with the map, then one of the CAs will be able to help put the thread back into the Foundry system, after an update has been made.

Mr B

[cairnswk]

Update made.
Version 8 adjustments.
1. Left Legend removed and gameplay instructions incorporated into the right legend.
2. Some terts removed
3. Battleships and landing craft space out more.
No horses or generals remain.

[MrBenn]

Cairns, are you bringing this project back to life, or is the update purely a response to your "should I continue it?" thread??

If it's the former, then I'll move you back into the drafting room; otherwise I'll let it sit for a little longer

MeBenn, let it sit a while longer please.

[Incandenza]

I still think this could be a terrific map, but unfortunately, like trafalgar and poison rome, I wouldn't expect an outpouring of commentary.

For my part, I've been meaning to write something lengthy here but haven't found the time. Maybe this evening, I've got quite a bit of foundryin' to catch up on.
