Island of Doom

[swimmerdude99]

However... I do have another comment... There really is no incentive whatsoever to take the volcano to win the game, because the military base comes with a 1+ autodeploy... maybe you should have something similar on the valcanoe? or maye make it a 3 nuetral instead of 5...

Actually, I think it'd be the opposite. The base is harder to take, considering how you have to go through several killer neutrals to get to it, and has no additional bonuses aside from the auto-deploy. Keep in mind that you can only assault in one direction from it, so the extra troop will likely be defense-exclusive.

No it really isn't harder to take... one troop harder... but valcanoe comes with no bonus, so why try for it in any scenario?

it's ok as it is now. from the games i've looked at and played there's a pretty balanced share of people going for the volcano or the base. it's hugely dependent on game settings and number of players.
for example in a trench game most people will avoid the base and go just for the volcano.

Really? In the trench games I've played, we have went for the base & base area over the volanco! But we could be the anomaly.

I have to agree with Andy. It seems like you're arguments aren't backed up from what I have seen.

Maybe the above is the anomaly! haha.

I'll continue to play around.

I know this is out of beta, but I've now been in two games where someone suggested a fort or attack from Mus to Qua. No one caught that those two weren't connected. I don't know what it is about those two territs, but for some reason they look connected at least to my sample of me and maybe 5 teammates. Does anyone else have this problem?

2012-05-05 04:29:18 - emporium [team]: I thought there was a link from mus to qua
2012-05-07 14:39:57 - agentcom [team]: emp, I did too

2012-08-11 12:03:13 - Benzorrr [team]: f*ck i cant fort into your bonus
2012-08-11 12:03:18 - Benzorrr [team]: looked at the map wrong
2012-08-11 12:42:43 - agentcom [team]: I have made that mistake, too. Same territs different game. And didn't catch it here either. I don't know why I think they're connected.

[DiM]

i honestly have no idea why you'd think those are connected.
the paths are very clear and there's obviously no path there.

anyway, this problem should be gone once my maps are removed so no point worrying about it.

I'm not sure why you and the others think its connected. I dont have any troubles seeing that they aren't.

[AndyDufresne]

Yeah, they are near each other, and I can see why someone might think they are connected, but I think it is pretty clear on the map.

[agentcom]

Yeah, both times it has happened, I've felt like an idiot. I just thought I'd throw it out there and see if it was a widespread perception. But apparently it's just me

Can we redo this thread but without the Supersize stamp?

Even the small map image doesn't fit on my screen in a game and the regions are so far apart.
