What you have now is a needlessly complicated bonus scheme that no one is going to be able to understand unless you list the whole bonus structure from start to finish on the map. Which would still make it needlessly complicated.
Go with the +2 each 2. The last territory of a bonus won't make a difference, but so what - it's still advantageous to take is since it means your enemy needs to take 2 of your territories to reduce your bonus.
Also, having the bonus increase every 2 territories instead of every territory makes it more strategical.
natty, you might be right about the bonus being complicated for some (as it is worded now), but it is so much less complicated than some maps. When I set out how to make this map, I tried to take the elements from maps that I like and try to incorporate them into this one.
Dust bowl gave me the 150 yard line which fits perfectly because of the British rifles.
World 2.1 gave me the routes. I love that map because there is so many ways to attack around the board.
Das Schloss and
City Mogul for the auto deploys, even though I do not have them as large.
Age Of Realms 2: Magic and
Arms Race for the bonus. I love the way you can go from nothing to +5, +14, +40 odd to +90 and win the game. Even though I still cannot fathom AOR2 bonus system, it is one of the most imaginative bonus structures out. If at some point the mods say to make it like you say then I will (grudgingly). Till then I can hope someone comes up with a way to word it.
Till then, here is the test version for tonight with the cahnges sugested by TaCktiX
- Click image to enlarge.
Wording as suggested with a couple of changes.
TaCktiX wrote:Capture and hold the outpost commanders, Chard and Bromhead for 1 turn to win.
Changed to:Capture and hold the British Offices, Chard and Bromhead for 1 turn to win.
Fits into the current legend without having to change it. When TaCktiX was put in, it covered half of the territ that is beside it. Need to change Commander to British Officer.
TaCktiX wrote:A king can bombard up to 3 territories away from his iButho.
Changed as well as this is not what I intended. I want only up to 3 within the iButho not outside it. If this can be implemented then great, till then I have said all territs within the iButho. This makes some kings stronger than others so it will have to change.
Hopefully taking out the = sign from the bonus structure, it is easier to read. As I said above, I would love to keep this but if I cannot then I cannot.
Followed all over advice to the letter. The British flag is for the front line soldiers and will be changed to a small figure as soon as I have drawn one. Grouped the legend into blocks across the bottom. Will make nice.
Bonuses - Special instructions - Impassables - Characters.
Will make neat for next version.
They are correct a few pages back. With your math geek wording, I doubt that would get past the mods any time soon.
