I can confirm that lackattack has changed the round limit for those 2 games (rispectively round 55 and round 68) so it's just wait for few more days.

ORLY? I don't mind it for a change, being mostly a team player it makes the map interesting for dubs I think.

The one for 4 might change to 1 for 3. This was a light bonus map and after the changes, it is even lighter. This might bring some much needed killing to the map.

Any complaints on suggestions for this one now that the new map has been live for a couple of week?

I've only had time for one game so far, and it's still in the early stages. I'll tell you more in a few weeks.

Thanks, the large games (4+ players) are playing as it is supposed to with the added level from the front line bombardments. This seem to neutralise the chieftain auto deploys though in flat games. As for 1v1, played a couple and won both. Both times went first though so still unbalanced for this. Asked HA to think about it and come up with suggestions. Not really sure though the 1v1 game can ever be balanced though with this many territs in play.

going first does not give you a big advantage if your dice suck :D
i just started first deployed 6 and attacked 9v5. it ended 3v5 :(
in another game my opponent started first and deployed 2 troops on 3 terits adjacent to chiefs. so he made 3 attacks 5v5 and won 2 of those attacks!!! so before i even started my game, my opponent already had 2 chiefs :P

anyway, my point is that whoever manages to get the first chieftain is most likely a winner. given decent dice this actually means the starting player is the one that has a huge advantage.

tweaking the neutrals in the chiefs will not solve the problem. so i think this needs a new approach.
something to prevent getting a bonus so quick.
what if you change the map to something like patch wars? make each chief start neutral and give a bonus of +1 and then give a bonus for the whole continent of that bonus.
