1. connect gate b to aery square
2 remove connection gate c - gate b
3. remove connectiontower f gate E
4. remove connection tower E gate C

Sounds good. I think the Gate B to Aery Square connection will at least give the Aery player another goal to work towards, instead of just playing defense.

And less connections for Gate C makes it harder for players to get into Aery. Looks good.

On second thought, I still think the Aery player will have to be a lot more cautious than the other players...
Aery has to worry not only about Loent and Tayt, but because of Gate C, they need to worry about Yana and Nyw as well.

What if Gate C only connected to Carpentry and Gate A? And maybe make it not neutral... it really impedes the Aery player's line of attack.

Just throwing it out there... and note that I have only played team games on the map.

The updated files have been sent to lack

[Konrad]

haven't read the thread, so sorry if this is a dublicate:

There is a bug in the map.. i can attack Tower G from Bucher but acording to the map that shouldn't be posible

otherwhise a GREAT map

[natty dread]

It's not a bug... they're connected by the road.

[Mr_Adams]

I'm not going to read all of this, but I'd just like to point out that it seems slightly unfair that Noem has to worry about the witch AND a mine entrance. What if the witch were put by tower J? It could be "witch's tower"

[Victor Sullivan]

Lol, just noticed this, but the word "Assault" in the legend, should be plural: "Assaults", as in, "Assaults are allowed..."

[Mr_Adams]

Grammar Nazi.

[thenobodies80]

Done

That's right - abide to the Grammar Nazi's doctrine...

Did you update the links or post new images with new urls? As it looks like we're still waiting for lack to make the update, it might be as easy to upload the images to the previous url to make it easier for the turtle

The old links didn't show on the site, so I hosted the images on another site. Both links work now so you can use the one you prefer.

EDIT: nvm, i replaced the old links also on the first page

[MrBenn]

I have just forwarded the updated map images to lack. Once they're up, then I say we can push the quench boat out...

Congrats guys! Well done

This game play comment seems to have been overlooked. The game is fine as is, but this was my one comment to make on the set up, and I got no response.

Imagine that!
With 1500 post under your belt, however, I would've thought you had gotten used to it by now

[Mr_Adams]

Well, very few of them were in the foundry, and I was under the impression that there was supposed to be a response to every suggestion to the map' game-play before a map was "quenched". However, it is a minor issue, I have won 3 of the 6 games I've played here (all 8 players), and never once used it. it's not to big a deal, as I said initially. I was just hoping for the map designer's input on this situation.

What's so unfair about them - they're borders like any other territory, they just happen to connect across the map?

[Mr_Adams]

But the bonus doesn't seem to reflect the fact that there are 4 borders to that city, so if you move the witch, the city has 1 fewer border that the others

(eg Loent, 4 borders, 5 bonus)

[natty dread]

Yes, the bonus could be higher.

[Mr_Adams]

higher bonus or move the extra border. I like the witches tower idea.

[Dukasaur]

higher bonus or move the extra border. I like the witches tower idea.

In almost every game I've played, people seem to deploy very heavily on the Alchemist, especially in team play. The Alchemist and Witch attack 4 cities, which is perhaps too much of an advantage for someone who starts out with them or gets them early on. I think moving the Witch to some less-prime real estate would reduce this unbalancing effect.
