Rail Africa [Quenched]

[cairnswk]

....
sure. could you connect addis to djibouti, though?

Had you asked when the map was in production i would have considered it, but not now, since it is not important to the current gameplay which is already worked out.
Thanks for asking anyways.

[cairnswk]

again a train map, I love you

won my first already >_>, first try, direct victory, that hardly happens

btw, isn't it "Zuid Afrikaanse" as the N railway, thats the correct dutch name for it, dunno if the south africans went crazy and took over the S from south during there english period, but if you went for the sole dutch correct name, its with a Z.

Glad you've had a win,,,i think it has more to do with your luck with dice than anything else having watched your play...
Suid - what gogle gave gave in it's translator, and since this map is based in 2019, let's pretend eh?

[onbekende]

yeah probably the dices

really, did you translate to dutch or to south african?

Afrikaans

why is the bonus for G just 3?
N for example has as many borders but less territs and is worth 4.

Because G Line has only 3 territories attacking it,
whereas N Line has 7 territories attacking it.

I'm not aware of any discussion about imbalance etc?

Does anybody have any legitimate concerns about imbalance, or has anybody noticed any glaring errors/omissions? If not we'll have to push the boat out....

Nothing yet of significance that i know of.....although several months now after Rail Europe has gone live....there is a call from some to adjust the bonuses on two small bonus lines.
Is there any chance the boat can be left at the dock for a while longer while some games finish....this is a large map to conquer.

This is a switch: the Boys In Blue pushing to quench the map, and the mapmaker saying "Let's take it slow".

Does anyone know how many games have been played on Rail Europe and Rail Africa, just to get an idea of how many it might take to get people to call for adjustments?

Yes, I thought that was novel also.
Anyway, this map has just over 100 games finished.
R Europe has 3717 games finished.

I think if there is no calls for change in a week, then the boat can probably go out then.

Hmm, well then, we can't really wait for Rail Africa to get up into that level of play. I must say, I am enjoying this map.

Because G Line has only 3 territories attacking it,
whereas N Line has 7 territories attacking it.

hmmmm but in both cases you need to stack on three territs to defend the bonus. But I'm not very experienced with mapmaking (and I hardly play flat rate/ no spoils games) so maybe my opinion should not count that much. And since I hold the N bonus in the game that I'm playing on this map...

These bonuses are what bonus creator template makes, and these bonuses were supposedly gone over by the gameplay guys, so if they're happy with them....

I'd just like to say this is the best looking rail map by a large margin. I'm not sure what I like so much about it, but you definitely did something great here.
