Just started this dubs game Game 10662714...thankfully I dropped jamaica bonus and not the other team.

Apologies, perhaps my use of the term, "updated", was misleading. I meant the most recent XML I posted, not the most recent XML uploaded.


Jippd wrote:Also for the missle bonus "+2 for any three +5 for any six" Do they have to be the same image three or can you mix and match to achieve this three?

You can mix and match.


Mikey-T wrote:Great map! It looks awesome, one minor note though, on the legend under Bay of Pigs Invasion Authorization it says 'hold this operation and 2 Cuban missile bases for +3; 5 bases for +7' but there's only 4 Cuban missile bases

Should this say 4 bases or does it mean 5 bases of any kind?

No. By "Cuban missile bases", it means the bases on the island of Cuba, which includes all 4 Soviet missile bases and GuantƔnamo Bay.

Any word from Ace? It doesn't make sense to upload the xml without the images.

He quit...see page before this, he makes a post himself too.

So what is the process for rescuing a map in beta when someone gives up mid way through?

I know AceRimmer is quitting. But I know he is willing to complete the map before to quit 100% (Hey,I'm Joe! :mrgreen: )
I posted here because maybe VS can give me more news about him.

If things go wrong I have my ways to contact him and find a solution to fix the map. ;)

I haven't heard anything from Ace. Of course, it never occurred to me to PM him, ha. I can do that now.

I mentioned this in Live Chat to Ace Rimmer. I don't recall the items in the upper right legend coming much into play during the one game I played. But it could be more of an anomalous game than representative, but thought I would mention it. Most of our battles tended to be more on the gameboard proper.

I agree in team games and 1 v 1 they don't come into play that much. However I haven't played it singles 4-8 players. They might be used then? especially with FOW? Mostly right now it seems to be about fighting for ships/Jamaica/Haiti

Right, which is why I provided an XML with lower neutrals in that area (which nobodies had lack upload, it seems). Hopefully that will at least help. I'm thinking reducing the auto-decay on the HQs may help, too.

Legend should read "all of mainland Cuba apart from Guantanamo Bay. I wasn't clear on whether it bombarded MQ or not. I was going to use the Legend area, to get to the Missile Launch in an Assassin game, but BOB told me that missiles don't launch into MQ, so I would've had to go the long way round.

Great Strategy in Assassin games: take some MQ, so you can't be bombarded to death.

Actually, in larger games of 5 or more people, having lower neutrals would make it too easy for someone to jump to a quick lead. That's been my XP. As they stand now, a player really has to "risk" it to go for them, making it fun. The -5 is helpful here because a player, at least until well established, has to think critically about how many men he needs to go for a bonus through the neutrals in that region. He can't leave men behind, so he better make sure he takes enough with him, etc.

I just played it for the first time and thought it was Great. Note sure the other players figured out exactly How to get there or what They did, the one player I thought would catch on and go for it held Washington for a lot of the game but never attempted to take the HQ :-$ I can't complain about it because I used it Greatly to my advantage and Won the Game :-$ . The Nuke Buttons were a Game Changer :twisted:
I definitely wouldn't reduce the number of n players that area should definitely be a challenge to breach and hold.

Month and a half with no comments, longer than that with no changes. Any reason to keep this in beta longer? I've got an open trips game on it (see Callouts) if anyone wants to take on the mapmaker on his second game on the map.

This is, easily, "won" of my favorite maps. Very appreciative of your time and effort. I wish I had noticed this prior to the map going live, but I do wish the legend was clear that the invasion craft are not part of the ship bonuses of "hold any 3 of same ownership and get +2" or whatever it is. In all the games I've played on this map, I never noticed they weren't until I took the invasion craft on Round 2 of a game I'm in now in an effort to get that bonus. DUH! lol

You have that you get +1 for "every 3 ship's of the same ownership." You then have that a flag "Denotes ship's ownership." From this alone, it would be logical that every flag denotes the ownership of a "ship." However, I had to go into the XML to discover that Landing Craft apparently do not count as "ships." I don't see this clarified anywhere on the map.

I would suggest, either don't use the flags on the landing craft or put in the key that landing craft don't count as ships (even though it looks like subs, carriers, cruisers and destroyers all count as ships).

... or, of course, count landing craft as part of the bonus.
