this is, unfortunately, the last installment from me...

version 5.75

the lack of comments is disheartening...

oh! sat is google earth over some randome place in NYC.
So, here's the latest version. It's in BETA. the finished copy will have names , and a legend and some "beautification."

sooo, how do I know what/when to join?

well the point of this map is that a specific territ is so desired, but has no troop benefits. So there has to be one territ everyone is aiming for.

Unfortunately,since sinc is away, this isn't on the first page. but here is my rendition of the pulled out perspective. I'm really excited to work with this because it'll be my own crater! I checked it in the library, and I think the brightness/ contrast is fine. feel free to critque! also, does ...

cadet- 38 games

yes. I'm at the library and you're absolutly right. the brightness button on my monitor is broken, so I've been seeing it wrong. from now on, I check what the map looks like at the library befor I send it to sinc for publication.

sounds like the zoomed-out perspective is getting good support. V5 will be a finished version of 4.5 and will appear next saturday. V6 will be zoomed out. then y'all will be able to choose your favorite version

these are all extremely helpful suggestions. I'm new to cc and this is my first map, so your comments are a great help. :) The next update will still be our zoomed in crater, but I there is continued support, I may put the city theme to effect in the update after that.
Also, many of you complain ...

new recruits get 0 points at start instead of 1000. goodbye inflation!

I would like someone to tell us all why inflation is a problem.

thenobodies80 suggested different types of territs in the color zones. I like this idea (though it is more work ). I've also heard complaints of the bonuses being bland. what if they're spiced up with 2 more troops for holding the base camp of each color?

this has really come on remarkably in the past few days: graphically, thematically and in potential gameplay. (gameplayically ;))


ps. just throwing in a little idea without too much thought .... maybe the centre could be a mine-shaft in the crater (rather than the conquorium) which is connected ...

lol. hey guys I'm the artist and have been asked to speak. I use paint.net. If anybody knows of any better programs that are $5 or less that are better than paint.net, please tell me. thanks

start the center off nuetral

may I join?

can a mod please delete this thread because I think the message is clear: Freemiums stay.

Easy. Deny all points and comments from cheapskate "noobs" who won't pony up the dough for a premium membership.

so if you were to beat me in this game were playing now *farmer*, you wouldn't mind not being able o glean points off me?

And cheapskate? See my sig? that's all the money I own in the ...

...and to the little brat who *implied* that I'm a farmer, a quick search will show the very opposite. I very rarely have recruits in my games. however, you occasionaly get a newbie who joins, and the high ranks avoid the game because a possible deadbeat changes the whole pace of the game. so, yes ...

ok, first, no points for beating a new recruit? that's bull crap. why shouldn't they lose points? that's part of the whole system.

Might I ask why a SergentFC would be so angry about this suggestion if he wasn't a farmer? Besides, If a new recruit joins, deadbeats at all four games, and then ...

The only problem I see is that new recruits look at the scoreboard and see the top scores as something insurmountable. That may drive some new players away because they feel like they can never reach the top. (Compare to when we had 1000 members, the high score was in the 1500's, and nearly ...
