Thanks WM, I think we will just have to see how it plays out. It's hard to make a small map balanced across a spectrum of 2-8 players, but I think this works for the most part. If it turns out there are some weak spots after a few hundred games are played then we can revisit it. This looks ace to me.

Map looks really cool, WM. One minor thing, and I don't know if you could do anything to fix this, but because the territory route lines and the border of the US is the same, it kinda looks like President connects to New York, especially in the small version where the line is n early straight.

I will move the president in the small map and try ti brighten up the connection lines.

Is there anything else that needs to be done. The XML needs to be checked again but I believe it is OK. I fixed all of the issues listed last time (by lanyards) and only have made coordinate changes. All of the final images and XML are listed several posts above by myself and mibi as well.

Thanks

we got rid of the decay and replaced it with respawning neutrals. Now every turn a player needs to kill the 15 neutrals. Plus the bonus for holding the Prez/Launch code and entire missile is now 75**.
[**EDIT: this number should have been written as 50 NOT 75.
The previous sentence should be: Plus the bonus for holding the Prez/Launch code and entire missile is now 50.


Sorry about the lack of work/updates everyone. When your basement floods it takes a while to get back to normal. I will try to get the small map Washington<>President connection issue fixed along with the XML tonight.

The map needs to be updated to reflect this change.

I don't like to nitpick, but an inaccurate legend could give someone a bad day ;)

Sorry my mistake the actual bonus is 50. But when it is combined wit the other bonuses you get for holding everything else it is about 75. My mistake. I just remembered it wrong :? :? :?

BUT TO MAKE EVERYTHING CLEAR.
The bonus for holding the Prez/Launch code and entire missile is 50

So everything on teh previous page is correct. Sorry.

It was called Leningrad not St. Petersburg when the Soviet Union still existed.

St. Petersburg is the name of the city as part of Imperial Russia or contemporary Russia. You might want to fix that one.

Thanks. Will Do!

Is that the only mistake as far a time period naming goes? I don 't feel like making 5 individual name changes and updates if I can just make one.

Thanks
