City on the Lake - Big Map/Little Bridges

City on the Lake



Ledger:



***


Original




The ledgend is Territories/Bonus, thus Corinth is eleven spaces and gives a bonus of 6 armies.


...the word 'attacks' is missing from the bottom of the ledger... 'One-way Reinforcements only, no attacks.'

to big legend, try to delete the legend, make the map biggger and put the country names in the countrys

[ParadiceCity9]

i dont understand the legend...6/4? 11/6? and i also agree with wisse

[JupitersKing]

Yes, agree the legend is way to big, in fact the map will be as large as the entire ledger when it is through. I'll work on this in the next couple of days and have it posted when finished.

In the meantime I wanted to get it up and put out some ideas. This map was done up after the XML string for new ideas and incorporates some of those ideas into the map.

Namely, The Citadel, Lookout Island, and the three Bridge connectors are all BONUS SPACES and receive +1 army each turn.

The Citadel is a fort and receives a +1d6 defender advantage bonus when attacked, meaning they can roll 3d6 against 3d6.

All the grey bridge spaces are limited attack spaces and when attacked the attacker can only roll 2d6 against 2d6.

The sea route from Harbortown to the Wharf District is only open when a player controls all of Harbortown. I am thinking of adding yellow routes to the other Provinces when the player controls Harbortown and Corinth.

The small arrows in Magnolia Bluff represent the ability to reinforce Hillshire and Hornbull by repelling down the bluff. However attacking in either direction or reinforcing Magnolia Bluff is prohibited.

Fixed the map and Ledger. Put them on the top post.

[JupitersKing]

Slight movement of some of the Corinth borders and added names to the city. However, there are too many spaces to add names into the spaces...

So do I reduce the number of territories or leave them numbered?

Also, if anyone has graphic ability or knows where to find a few bridges laying around that would help reduce the area of the bridge and allow me to resize the land masses.

Changed the bridge spaces to smaller squares, still not ideal, but it will give me some space to resize the land areas. This is also why some of the lines don't reach land.

Still I need some input, take a minute and answer the new poll.

You seem to have a lot of crazy rules, like 1 way reinforcement but not attack, the ferry route, and the bridges rule. Can the XML even allow those strange rules?

I'm not sure yet. I put this one up mostly as a response to the XML string for new ideas. Several of those ideas are found in this map and the Warlords map I have posted here, http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18248.

When the XML string plays out and ideas are incorporated or not I'll see where I stand. In the meantime I figure if I put up a map and actually show the idea 'on paper' that it'll have a better chance of passes (if possible).

a geo map with out place names is just plain stupid.
