Re: Fragmentation of CSFR, without starting positions!

So you won't have Brno coded as neutral then?

With 33 starting regions the amount of the initial drop will be:

2 & 3 player games - 11 per player (the only change from the 32 starting regions you had previously)
4 players - 8 per player
5 players - 6 per player
6 players - 5 per player
7 players - 4 per player
8 players - 4 per player

no. now Praha and also Bratislava could be attacked from 5 territories each. so only capitals will be neutrals n4.

I changed railway a little and made connection in Czech republic. now each capital could be attacked from 5 territories. and only capitals wll be codded as neutrals.

I also changed bonus for Towns from +1 for 3 towns with capital to +1 for 4 towns with capital. is this better or not?

list of neutrals and starting positions:

there are 35 territories. 2 capitals (Praha and Bratislava) will start allways as neutral.

8 players game:
4 territories for each player, 3 neutrals (Praha, Bratislava, 1 random).
7 playes game:
4 territories for each player, 7 neutrals (Praha, Bratislava, 5 random).
6 playes game:
5 territories for each player, 5 neutrals (Praha, Bratislava, 3 random).
5 playes game:
6 territories for each player, 5 neutrals (Praha, Bratislava, 3 random).
4 playes game:
8 territories for each player, 3 neutrals (Praha, Bratislava, 1 random).
3 playes game:
11 territories for each player, 2 neutrals (Praha, Bratislava, Brno).
2 playes game:
11 territories for each player, 13 neutrals (Praha, Bratislava, 11 random).

Re: Fragmentation of CSFR, new railway, Aug 13rd

Postby Oneyed on Tue Aug 14, 2012 1:20 am

I have one question:
it will not be better to do railway connection:
Brno - Bratislava to Brno - Trenčƭn - Bratislava?
Plzeň - Praha to Plzeň - Kladno - Praha?

because now in CR is needed to secure 2 territories to hold Kraj, but kraj StČK is needed to secure just region StČK. the same in SR, it is needed to secure 3 territories to hold Kraj, but ZSK is possible to secure 2 territories.

if there are 3 players, then brno will not be neutral.

Oneyed wrote:Brno - Bratislava to Brno - Trenčƭn - Bratislava?

Brno - Trenčƭn - Bratislava does not make sense because of the location of Trenčƭn. i suggest Žilina - Trenčƭn - Bratislava instead, which creates a real-looking railway network that has interchange stations; to hold kraj ZSK, a player will have to secure 3 territories.

Oneyed wrote:Plzeň - Praha to Plzeň - Kladno - Praha?

Plzeň - Beroun - Praha is better than Plzeň - Kladno - Praha because the railway from Plzeň to Praha really does go through Beroun; to hold kraj StČK, a player will have to secure 2 territories.

Brno will not be neutral in any game. there will be just Praha and Bratislava as n4, the rest territories will be random deployment.

but then Žilina become as crossroad - it has connection to Olomouc and Poprad. Trenčƭn will be the third connection while all towns have two connections via railway.
what about to change town Trenčƭn to town KĆŗty and made railway Bratislava - KĆŗty - Brno?

there's nothing wrong with that, unless u want perfect symmetry.

Bratislava - KĆŗty - Brno is fine. Trenčƭn is an important town, so perhaps Komarno can disappear instead?

this is the question which I have in head :) this is small map without any impassables, so I think perfect symmetry would be fine. what do you think?
or maybe I could do more crossroads - Žilina, Brno, ƚstĆ­ n/Labem?

symmetry works reasonably well on this map. simply add KĆŗty and remove Komarno, following which u can clean up the graphics to advance to final forge. if, during beta, we discover that holding the capital bonuses is too easy (this is unlikely), then u can add the extra railways so that more towns can attack the capitals.

during beta, if the capitals are unpopular, then prepare to change back to +1 for 3 towns with capital.

Re: Fragmentation of CSFR, feedback needed, Aug 19th

Postby x-raider on Tue Aug 21, 2012 11:32 pm

Development's looking good. I'm glad to see that Oneeyed is determined to make the best of this.

1. The stroke (or whatever it's called. sorry. edge?) on the region rectangles should be made heavier to fit in with the stroke/edges on the towns, railway, borders.

2. Some of the names text on the map gets white on the outside when they spill over onto the background map... Are you aware of that?

3. I've been finding the capitals looking a bit too rough on the pixels... Maybe get rid of the stroke/edge?

Can we see a copy without the glow. You have the names elsewhere on the map without it and they are fine.

at the firts I would say sorry to everybody who helped me with this map, to everybody who was interested and to everybody who like it.

I will not continue on any of my maps (maybe forever), I can not work where censorship is so important and I can not hear advices from somebody who ignore my and also I can not pray for stamp.

Really a shame you allowed the Hungary debate to so completely take you over Oneyed. But,

Per mapmakers request. If the mapmaker wants to continue with the map, then one of the Cartography Assistants will be able to help put the thread back into the Foundry system, after an update has been made. Please be aware that gameplay standards may be further reviewed upon return to the Main Foundry and may be required to once again pass through GP scrutiny. Should the map be found to be deficient in any way the GP stamp may be removed.
