German/Italian Unif.[D, Gp, Gr] BETA, all files p.1

I'm skimming a bit here, but do you automatically win when you have all the shields or crosses? I am playing on Italy and it have all the Shields. So I'm just wondering..

by **Industrial Helix** on Sun Jul 18, 2010 5:24 pm

You should win if you hold all the shields. Let me know what happens if you still hold the shields at the start of your next turn.

I lost them, I thought if I captured them all it would be game over. So I risked all my armies and captured them. But oh well, my bad

Did you make any further changes?

Please could you post the correct links and we'll get the update done.

Think some people will get annoyed about Elba's dark color being inbetween France and Toscany's bonus. Shade lighter might help.

by **Industrial Helix** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 5:26 pm

I tried lightening it in photoshop but its as light as its going to get. I tried changing the shadow on the border for Elba but it just looked out of place then. Hopefully the fact that it is only connected to Tuscany will be indication enough.

MrB, check the first page or just copy and paste from here:

It will have to be the first post, since those ellipses have pooched the links.

Hi, The unification Italy map looks great, the only problem with it is that the +1autobonus writing doesn't stand out, its at the end of a paragraph that many ppl wont read at the beginning. I only realised their were bonuses for it after looking through the log to see that an opponenant had gathered a bonus army for it. To make it clearer maybe you could just make it a new paragraph. For example:

Game Objective: Control all shields for one turn and unite the kingdom of italy to achieve victory

(Picture of Shield) Shields autodeploy one army per round.

How is this map still Beta?

Due to the nature of "Map Packs", each map in the set has to wait for the other to advance. Both maps have actually had updates, the most recent of which went live just under two weeks ago. It's on the brink of being released from Beta, but you'll notice that there are still occasional comments that require some input/feedback from the mapmaker.

Make things easier for people who don't read all the rules... something about that makes me uneasy. It the words fit as a new paragraph, then I'll do it. Stay tuned and I'll let you know.

by **Industrial Helix** on Thu Sep 16, 2010 11:32 am

Yeah, it's not going to fit.

These are ready for quench IMO.

Well done, two more fine additions to the Foundry's Viewing Gallery.

I just started a game on this map, and the number for Berlin is in an odd place - pretty much on the Brandenburg border. I realize it's out of beta and maybe changes can't be made, but....

by **Industrial Helix** on Mon Oct 11, 2010 10:19 am

You know... I noticed that recently too. I can't believe that it went unnoticed he whole time in Beta.... I'll see what I can do about bumping it up a few pixels.

by **sm8900** on Fri Oct 29, 2010 10:02 am

take a look at Game 7626385 for a unique kind of outcome to a game on this map. you may find it interesting. see you.

by **Industrial Helix** on Sat Oct 30, 2010 1:43 pm

Not sure what you mean... do you mean the victory objective?

Hi, have played roughly 70 games. Have pondered the possibility of Random trap doors, conquer an enemy state and have option to be trasported so where accross the world, a place selected by chance to invade from almost like a spy card. regards ChrisSytsma
