Copenhagen sightseeing [Quenched]

[bryguy]

- Conditions: In the legend, I'd change it to "Hold any 4 sights for 1 round to win". You only need 4, not 5, so why tell them that they need either 4 or more?

- Some of the bonuses seem a bit... unbalanced. I'm not the best at telling how much of a bonus places should get to fit well with how many territories they have to protect from attack and how many territories can attack them, but this seems unbalanced. That's about all I can tell you there. May want to have someone give a second opinion on this though.

- *Impassable, not impasseble.

words of use and misspellings is no problem to change.

The bonuses are based on how many areas are connected to each other (how many you need to defend with more than 1 troop) and/+ how many areas keeps a bonus.

Ah yep that's what I missed, I didn't realize the metros all connected. Does make more sense now.

Np. but if there are some good ideas to add some more gameplay within reasonable limits, it is very welcome

[Flapcake]

Changes: legend, minor misspellings.

Anything more about gameplay ? or do we have a stamp in sight ?

Looks good to me, but then again I'm no mod, haha

Good idea for a map.

4 sights sounds weird. I know how it was derived, but 4 sites makes more sense (to me).

What is the intended gameplay on this map? I like how 2-players start with 11 and there are no small bonuses. But 14 neutrals means that one-third of the map most likely won't be used in 2-player games.

Team games is a similar story, especially on 8-players since it will be so easy for teams to wipe players out (due to small number of starting territories).

That leaves single-player action as the main focus. However, with no small bonuses, single-player will pretty much degrade into a slugfest.

Basically, I am going to give you the same advice I give to every mapmaker: get rid of unnecessary neutrals. I think the objectives should stay neutral, but everything else should drop to 1 neutral, or become starting territories.

EDIT: somehow I missed that the ports etc. give bonuses. That makes the map much more playable in team mode. Single-player will still be a slugfest though. (I define a slugfest as a game which is decided more by dice than anything else).

Hi DoomYoshi
Im glad to recive your comment and suggestion, thats what the foundry are for

I would be even more than happy if maby you, or ohters made and description on troop placement and distbrution.
Im not an eagle to gameplay so im all ears

[Dukasaur]

Excellent map! I didn't even know this existed until I read the article in the newsletter. I'm glad I finally found it. This is exactly the kind of map I've been hoping to see for a long time. Bravo!



If you want a comment, I think the bonuses might be slightly too large. Their approximate rank looks right, but I would range the bonuses from 3 to 6 instead of 4 to 7.

[DoomYoshi]

Before I can answer, I need to know what sort of gameplay you are aiming for. Right now, this map is similar to arms race and the two unification maps.

Thx Dukasaur
the bonuses could be toned down a bit.

DoomYoshi, I dont want the gameplay to change radical, its a turist map with sights to see and conquer, thats also why its hold any 4 "sights" and not "sites"
the "hold any 4" has been worked in at my denmark map after 1000 games in beta, and the map is more exciting to play now, so Il stick with that, the advise Im looking for around gameplay is more where to place the impassebles and how they shal apear (graphic) more gameplay wise, the kind of advise Dukasaur came up with.

I am not saying the gameplay should change radically. I would suggest to make the outside more open and the inside less open. Right now, turn 1 strategy should be to deploy on sports facilities or our savior cemetery. Since only 2 players can hold the 2 most valuable starting positions, it wouldn't be very fun for single player. However, in team games, a problem like that is not as severe.

The easiest way to add blocking in a European city is to add the historical city walls. After a bit of reading, I learned that in the 15th century it seems Osterbro was walled off. However, some further research is obviously necessary.

Hi DoomYoshi, could I get you to explain furter this "I would suggest to make the outside more open and the inside less open. Right now, turn 1 strategy should be to deploy on sports facilities or our savior cemetery. Since only 2 players can hold the 2 most valuable starting positions"

It sounds interesting but Im not sure what you meen.

About "Osterbro" the name translatet to english says: Easten brigde, all 4 conors are represented around inner city, copenhagen had no inner wall, it was surronded by water (lakes) most still excist, so a ancient wall would be wierd I kind of thought about making head streets for impasables. the cones looks stupid.

A wrought-iron fence of the kind that many European buildings use would look good, I think.

Yes. maby sidewalks could do.
