It seems the last issue that needs to be resolved are the rose/brew bonuses. There have been a lot of suggestions (from 5 to 10).

5 seems too low to make the bonus attractive. 7 seems too high for good drops.

I'm inclined to split the difference and go with 6 troops for holding either the rose or brew territories.

Would that works for everyone?

I don't really think that 5 is too low. However, can it just be coded in the XML so that it isn't dropped? If the 2 aren't dropped then it wouldn't be as big of an issue.

Adding two more neutrals would make for uneven drops. Back in gameplay development, it was determined this setup was the fairest. If I tinker with this, we'll have to completely revisit this and come up with a different way to keep it even. Is that really worth it?

[chapcrap]

I'm not advocating adding two more neutrals. I meant to force one of each of those two bonuses to be 2 of the neutrals to start. At least in 1v1 and 3 player games.

Game 10734601
I tried to attack from Nob Hill
to China Town, and there was no option
for it in the drop down menu (I couldn't
select/attack it)

[espaliers]

Hello fellow map founders,

I have a problem on an ongoing game running #10382251. It seems since a couple of days Old town change to Chinatown on the map but in China town max in the menu, and Oldtown max in Chinatown. Seems also that Chinatown is connected to Beaverton max. At the end i'm not sure i have to rely on the map i see or the map from the menu.

Thanks in advance,
Espaliers

The XML did not get updated with the image.

I'm told lackattack has been notified. I'm not sure what the delay is, but there's nothing I can do about it. Sorry.

Thanks guys

In Game 10839708 greg held the NW for a turn but got no bone? What are we missing?

Is Industrial part of NW?

[lostatlimbo]

Is Industrial part of NW?

Yes, that is why the Industrial font is green.

As chapcrap and others have noted, the rose/brew bonus is too high. I've been trying to come up with some other way to do this, but I've got nothing. To be honest, I'm half tempted to just drop the bonus, but it is such an integral part of the map.

It seems the best result is to just turn it back to a 5 troop bonus. Any objections?

Anything else I need to address before quenching this?

why does it have to be +5 ?

[chapcrap]

Don't get rid of the bonus altogether. I think just make it lower is fine.

Is there no way to code it so that it can't be dropped? Perhaps coding some starting positions would be good for this.

[lostatlimbo]

The rose gardens and microbrews already are starting positions. If there is a way to make some of those neutral without blowing out the drop for all #s of players, I am all for it, but I can't come up with one myself.

At any rate, +7 just seems to high even when the bonus isn't dropped, though +6 might do if this can be fixed.

[lostatlimbo]

Victor Sullivan discovered that the positions max of 3 was missing from the XML. This should fix the rose/brew bonus drop issue.

If anyone has any other comments on tweaking the gameplay/graphics, now is the time to speak up! If there are no other concerns within the next couple of days, this map will be quenched!

Sweet.

Victor Sullivan discovered that the positions max of 3 was missing from the XML. This should fix the rose/brew bonus drop issue.

Code: Select all

<positions max="3">
   <position>
      <territory>University</territory>
      <territory>China Town-Pioneer MAX</territory>
   </position>
   <position>

      <territory>Alameda MAX</territory>
   </position>
</positions>

actually, it doesn't solve this issue completely (sorry for not spotting this earlier). in 1v1, 3 positions each means that the 4 regions in the 2 leftover positions are put back into the random draw. the result is that, in 1v1, the rose and beer bonuses can still be dropped while, in 8-player, each player has either one rose and no beers or one beer and no roses, so these bonuses are totally ignored by everyone.

what i propose is exactly 4 positions, each made up of 1 rose and 1 beer, to ensure that no player starts with either the rose or beer bonus in games of up to 4 players, while providing some welcome asymmetry in 8-player games.

Code: Select all
