V12 [clicky]

Changes:

Moved castles around a bit/modified them some
Changed the oasis a little
Played around with the text
Modified the bridges in lower left corner (STILL HOURENDOUS THO!)
Modified the size of text in menu area thingimajigy :D


Points of Discusion:


Should I add some ice?
Should I change lotrey castle to an outpost?
Should I expand the menu area?
Should I add a bonus for holding the fishing empire?
Yes I know the army circles on the boats are still to small....


oh btw, dont comment on how pixely the lines are in the lower left corner areas, im working on those :D

The oasis looks horrible IMO.

There's a fishing empire? I think the idea of having a resource in the river is better. Or maybe +1 for every fishing boat or something.

wow i have my own place on the map :mrgreen: i'm honoured lol.

btw, the water is prety dark :shock:

looks a lot better though.

how about a bonus for the boats? like +1 army for holding 3 boats, +2 for holding 4 or 5, +3 for all? or something. or some other kind of bonus.

or instead of a bonus make them go back to 1 neutral every turn (stormy seas or whatsoever kills the ships all the time)

this will make it impossible to hold the ships but you can off course use it to get to the other side by boat.

that's the coment for now, maybe more to come later.

sounds good to me, makes it more interesting to hold the non-connecting boats (fishing boats?) and makes it harder to stay at the connected boats (transports) for a few turns, because they reset to neutral every turn anyways. (like someone would stay on a transport ship for a long time in real life anyways, especially with a very large army... :shock: )

yea lol, i can just imagine some cook cashing in a set of cards (on escalating) and get like 100, deploy them on a connecting point then lose power for 2 hours, take their next turn and lose all 101

what the hell does the storm waters thing exactly mean?

are the boats starting out neutral and then going back to 1 neut after every turn? or is it like a bombard thing? where is stormy waters?

thats all i'm really confused about. that and im still wondering about resources affecting just the whole map or just in regions

stormy waters is that those 3 land connecting boats start out 3 neutral and if conquered revert to 1 neutral (if thats not possible with current xml, than 3)

i think the menu/legend should change a little bit - colour changes, its a little hard to read it since the background colour is fairly dark and the black text on a dark background. it doesnt show up that well.

ok, thanks for the explanation... but what i dont understand then, is how do you get a bonus for holding the boats if they revert back to neutrals after your turn?

only FB3 FB5 and FB1 revert back to neutral, the rest dont

and sure tom i can change the color, what color do you suggest? should i go to a top menu like feudal? btw that would cause me to have to change the size of everything else

it's possible, i might even want to write the complete xml when the map is done, the only thing i don't know yet, is how to do the -1 on all territories but i'll find out (if it's possible offocurse)

btw maybe you will need to tweak some of the neutrals a bit.

I'm pretty sure you just do a bonus of -1 like a normal continent for decay...

-1 bonus is possible but it will be tricky to do it the way he has it (-1 bonus on all continents EXCEPT when you held one of the resources) well i will find out how to do it anyways ;)
