Czecho Slovak Fragmentation [Quenched]

[Gilligan]

...
also borders for Praha are: Kladno, Beroun, Tábor, StČK

Done.

and borders for Bratislava are: Kúty, Trenčín, Nitra, ZSK

Done

thank you.

is it not clear that capital could be attacked from region it is located in and from towns in the same region and from towns adjacent by railway?

Do you need to write something on the map about this?

no. I just ask you because your xml seems that you understand it wrong. so do you think that it is needed to write about this on the map?

Oneyed

Oneyed,
the way i read it is that the + and - bonus is associated with each capital.
Is this right or wrong?

The way I read it,

With Praha, you get + bonus for CR territs and - bonus for SR territs.
With Bratislava, it is opposite: + bonus for SR territs and - bonus for CR territs

...
On the map, it reads: Region and 2 towns inside its border, +4 for every 2 Kraj (similar to SR part of map).
In the XML, it stops at 2 Kraj. Are you not supposed to be given a +8 bonus if you have 4 Kraj?

OK, there are 7 Kraj...so that means there can only be 3 pairs of Kraj
so bonus should be:
+12 for 3 pairs
overrides
+8 for 2 pairs
overrides
+4 for 1 pair

Correct?

Perfecto. Similar logic can be applied to the capital bonuses.

With Praha, you get + bonus for CR territs and - bonus for SR territs.
With Bratislava, it is opposite: + bonus for SR territs and - bonus for CR territs

not for any territs.
with Praha you get only +bonus for every 4 Towns in the CR. and -bonus for each Kraj in the SR.
with Bratislava you get only +bonus for every 4 Towns in the SR. and -bonus for every 2 Kraj in the CR.

Yeah, I specified which ones

The way I look at it, if you own towns in which your capital is located - it's a good thing. If you own the enemy with your own capital, it's a bad thing.

Gilligan, with these Czech override pairs....is it possible to use the new collections code, e.g.

Code: Select all

    <continent>
    <name>ConName</name>
    <bonuses>
    <bonus required="2">4</bonus>
    <bonus required="3">8</bonus>
    <bonus required="4">12</bonus>
    </bonuses>
   <components>   
      <continent>SČK Kraj (CR)</continent>
      <continent>ZČK Kraj (CR)</continent>
      <continent>StČK Kraj (CR)</continent>
      <continent>VČK Kraj (CR)</continent>
      <continent>JČK Kraj (CR)</continent>
      <continent>SMK Kraj (CR)</continent>
      <continent>JMK Kraj (CR)</continent>
   </components>
    </continent>

although from reading the new xml tutorial, i am confused because it says collections can be used for overrides

If you have ever used nested continents for one of your map, you certainly have experienced how long that continents list can be and how many overrides you had to use to give out bonuses correctly.
This issue can be circumvented using a different way to code your bonuses: Collections.

but then says

There some important aspects to consider while using Bonus Collections:
* If you achieve several bonuses they get added together;

so from this i am reading that i still have to use overrides.

Yes, I meant to mention that but forgot. You can also use it for the other bonuses:

Code: Select all

<continent>
<bonuses>
<bonus required="1">-1</bonus>
<bonus required="2">-2</bonus>
<bonus required="3">-3</bonus>
</bonuses>
<components>
<component type="mandatory">Praha</component>
<component>VSK Kraj</component>
<component>SSK Kraj</component>
<component>ZSK Kraj</component>
</components>
</continent>

The overrides are built into the code. If you have "1" required, it'll give you the "1" bonus, but if you have "2" required it'll automatically override the "1" bonus, likewise if you have "3" it'll override "2" and "1".

Champion again Gill.

[cairnswk]

OK, does this look correct?

** New code posted below.

[Gilligan]

There's something a little messed up about the town bonuses.

tbh, I'm not overly confident on how the mandatory tags work in respect to the "required" tags.

Let me find that out and I'll check up on this.

[Oneyed]

I am not sure, but is this correct?

<!-- Defining Positive Kraj bonus -->
<continent>
<name>Kraje (CR)</name>
<bonuses>
<bonus required="2">4</bonus>
<bonus required="3">8</bonus>
<bonus required="4">12</bonus>

it would not be:

<!-- Defining Positive Kraj bonus -->
<continent>
<name>Kraje (CR)</name>
<bonuses>
<bonus required="2">4</bonus>
<bonus required="4">8</bonus>
<bonus required="6">12</bonus>

[nolefan5311]

I just wanted to point out that the collection bonuses are cumulative and do not override. So, it would need to be:

<!-- Defining Positive Kraj bonus -->
<continent>
<name>Kraje (CR)</name>
<bonuses>
<bonus required="2">4</bonus>
<bonus required="3">4</bonus>
<bonus required="4">4</bonus>

This is coded to mean that holding 2 will yield +4, holding 3 will yield +8, and holding 4 will yield +12.

I thought tnb told me that continents couldn't not be listed as components under the collection tag, which was a pretty big issue. Perhaps this has been changed. I'm checking with tnb now though and I will let you know.

in 4.3.2 is says components can be territory as well as continent but only territory can have additional option. So i would have to change the continent to territory to have mandatory.

I did see that which is why I thought I could when I wrote Labyrinth or another one, but I was told I couldn't. I've put a pm into tnb to chat about this so I will let you know. It might have gotten fixed for all I know.

OK.'ll hold off 'til you hear back...
but in the meantime....
I've been thinking about this 4 towns and capital bonus.

If i keep the 4 towns code at the start seperate like this...the play will get that bonus if he holds this continent, which is not desired.

What is desired is this i beleive, because you actually need Praha (mandatory) plus 4 towns to get the 1 bonus therefore you need 5 territories.
....you need Praha (mandatory) plus 8 towns to get the 2 bonus
and Praha (mandatory) plsu 12 towns to get the 3 bonus.

Code: Select all

and the similar would apply to SR.

...
also borders for Praha are: Kladno, Beroun, Tábor, StČK

Done.

and borders for Bratislava are: Kúty, Trenčín, Nitra, ZSK

Done

thank you.

is it not clear that capital could be attacked from region it is located in and from towns in the same region and from towns adjacent by railway?

Do you need to write something on the map about this?

no. I just ask you because your xml seems that you understand it wrong. so do you think that it is needed to write about this on the map?

Oneyed

I think the map could do with an explanation of the ability of how to attack from or attack the region. It could be the same as the town explanation but under the capital description.

"Attacks towns inside it's kraj and the region it is located in."

[Gilligan]

I just wanted to point out that the collection bonuses are cumulative and do not override. So, it would need to be:

<!-- Defining Positive Kraj bonus -->
<continent>
<name>Kraje (CR)</name>
<bonuses>
<bonus required="2">4</bonus>
<bonus required="3">4</bonus>
<bonus required="4">4</bonus>

This is coded to mean that holding 2 will yield +4, holding 3 will yield +8, and holding 4 will yield +12.

Check out tnb's post here (4.3.2): viewtopic.php?f=649&t=183876&view=unread#unread

The way I understood it from its original post (viewtopic.php?f=127&t=175704) is that it does override. Guess I was wrong, good catch nolefan.

That makes me wonder if the "mandatory" takes are counted in the "required"? That's a very important part.

So Gilligan, do you think my post above would be correct?

I will wait to Beta. then we will see if it is clear or not

Gilligan, cairns thanks for all work around xml.

Mandatory regions are always mandatory to qualify for a bonus....the name is self explanatory
So if you have any bonus collection with a list of required levels, you need to hold all the mandatory region(s) to qualify for that bonus(es). No mandatory region(s) = no bonus.
Mandatory are part of the required count also.
Bonuses always sum together with collections, they do not override. So instead of writing the total value you want as bonus value, you need to calculate how much is already given to you by previous "lower" level of bonuses. The higher bonus you can get from a collection is the sum of all bonus listed into the <bonuses> tag. The fact you qualify for an higher level doesn't mean you don't qualify anymore for the lower one.

e.g.

Code: Select all

<continent>
   <name>Bonus Name</name>
   <bonuses>
     <bonus required="2">1</bonus>
     <bonus required="3">1</bonus>
     <bonus required="4">1</bonus>
   </bonuses>
   <components>
      <territory type="mandatory">TerrA</territory>
      <territory>TerrB</territory>
      <territory>TerrC</territory>
      <territory>TerrD</territory>
   </components>
</continent>

If you hold TerrB and/or TerrC and/or TerrD but you don't hold TerrA --> you receive nothing
If you hold TerrA + 1 of the others components --> you receive 1 additional troop
If you hold TerrA + 2 of the others components --> you receive 2 additional troop
If you hold TerrA + 3 of the others components --> you receive 3 additional troop

Let me know if something is not clear
Nobodies

p.s. remember that the bonus name is just one.

[cairnswk]

so tnb80, having read your above post is this below correct?

Code: Select all

<!-- Defining capitals and 4 towns positive bonus-->
<continent>
   <name>Praha and 4 Towns</name>

Looks like it, cairns. The uncertainty that I had was from the required tags and whether or not it included the mandatory tag. Thanks nobodies for clearing that up.
