[Beta] - Krazy Kingdoms

[dolomite13]

Aside, Alien Overrun looks interesting. Is it available? I can see how that makes you less available here. Good luck!

Alas not yet.

We only test it one day a week these days so after four years we are just about finally finished.

Thanks

Game 17765022

This is a sunny game in progress. It's barely started and someone noticed the problem with Map Inspect. I think this problem can be fixed by modifying the XML. I'm not volunteering to do it. I'd like to hear from dolomite. I've described the affect in my previous post. I believe if certain continents are split into two continents, with the normal territories in a continent with a 0 bonus and that continent is combined with the special territory, then that continent gets the bonus. As it is, the bonus lights up even when the special territory isn't owned. The game understands that a bonus isn't earned, but Map Inspect says that a bonus is earned. Take a look at the code for fanatics. It's a good example, but there are other examples, so it will take work in several parts of the XML.

If dolomite isn't available, I'll consider it. I can read the code, and I have that idea, but I don't know if I can fix and test.

It has been so long since I fiddled with this I wouldn't even know where to start. If someone else wants to take a stab at doing that then please do. Especially if that change will stop map inspect from losing its mind.

Dwellers sucks because the bonus doesn't work properly ( at least last time I tried ) but otherwise it's 2nd best bonus. Could be almost as good as wizards if you fixed it.

Is this still true with the latest 7b xml?

I feel like this map is a little too brutal if you get kicked off the main play area early on. It's nearly impossible to recover and develop any income after that, especially as the number of players increases. I realize you don't want to rework the gameplay significantly any more, but I wonder if it could be fixed with a simple tweak. Maybe making the kingdoms autodeploy +1? That would give a slight help to people to reenter the map after the beginning of the game, without helping anyone who actually has a power base on the map.

Plus, as a side effect, it would make eliminations via the Forbidden Lands slightly more difficult. The killer neutrals there could be reduced to 20 or so to make up for that? That too might make for a more interesting game, with that territory taken somewhat more often than currently.

The KK map, would you consider the "human" example being randomised for skin colour? Just kinda awkward the whole KK map, plus the lore using stuff the KKK co-opted, plus the white dude as the "human"? I mean, if it was one thing...

that would certainly solve all the bugs. bad carma (didnt want to use another post-j letter).

Here's a screenshot from a recent game. It's fog, and it looks like I can attack from S4 to J1. But I am neither Murklord nor Lizardman, so why am I allowed cross that kingdom-specific chasm bridge between the two territories?

[Donelladan]

It's a weird behaviour ( imho a bug ) with conditional border and polymorphic/team game.
Because blue is on S kingdom, blue could a attack J1 from S4, yellow therefore can "see" J1 but won't be able to attack it.

I reported the same issue on a different map here :

Oh, yeah, that's definitely a bug then. Neither of us can make that attack, therefore neither of us should be able to see J1; instead, both of us can see it.
