Continent bonus generator

[gimil]

does anyone have a link to the spreadsheet that you can use to constructe continent bonuses? and could it possibly be added to the map making tools thread?

feel free to delete this once finished***

[Herakilla]

in my opinion each continenets bonus has largely to do with how the map is set up

there could be guidlines like

if it has 2 borders and 5 or less territories=2

and things like that.

but each map is different and may require different bonuses for the VERY different continents from map to map

That tool is now in the Map Making Tools. It is only to be used to determine start bonuses for continents as they may vary according to the map and other conditions of play.

i totaly agree with you

also you could make the bonuses big or low (but still diference between them)

This is a better file. The one in the tools thread does not explain how to use it and is hard to read.

Changed it in map making tools, WM. Thanks

Thats sorta my formula

I always see the continent itself too, and its location, at the side of the map is a big difference then in the middle of all the mayham

i am using safari (for mac) and can download it too

EDIT: now it says: "Link does not exist" its deleted or something

i use firefox, and im getting the same error as wisse,

the old link worked for me, and i still have a copy of the old excel file on my computer so it is not so important that i get this link to work.

If there are any further reports i'll put the old link back up.
Please advise me if so.

i think the problem is IE,
its because there were rules about what a browser had to do and microsoft did not follow those rules, one example: if you forget to write something in a html file and put it up on firefox/safari it doesn't work as you wished, then if you put it up in IE the browser thinks what the thing could be (so he guesses what there should be) wich is why some internet sites (or other things) work good on IE and not on other browsers and then they blame the other browsers,

so:
just turn the link back to the old link

Yes it works fine for me, and i fine the instruction nice and easy to follow and it is generally a good tool for helping production of maps.

though yours works perfect, widowmakers still doesn't

[MarVal]

though yours works perfect, widowmakers still doesn't

I just download the Bonus geneartor from the link on Map Making Tools - Added: Continent Bonus Generator S/Sheet of widowmakers.
The direct link to the Bonus Generator is:

http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/6/15/ ... S_CALC.xls

So it does work, but why didn't it work by you, Wisse?

Bonuses generator?? Lol, map makers dont need to think.

Just tried Cairns generator to classic map, it says NA and Europe should have a bonus of 4 instead 5, lol. Also tried Philippines map, it gave me 3 different bonuses. And it considers how many territories, borders, attacking routes, etc.

In fact, I have a different mental formula... If the continent is designed with like half of territories being border ones, the bonus is the number of borders. If the number of border is very high, then the bonus will change according to number of countries. Just this

Attack routes and number of neighbour continents, I have learned during my map making experience, hardly make a difference to the bonus.

Anyway, good tools to begginers
