lol noooo way. if anything should have a lesser bonus cuz its only got 3 borders.dominationnation wrote:Great gameplay. now that I play it though I think that the podium should have a greater bonus because it is so key to the game

Even the Medias have 2 less than the Lobbies, and are getting 1 less than the Lobbies. Perhaps Podium should be reduced to bonus 5?
I think the idea is that the podium SHOULD be more important. It's more central to the map than other areas and in real life it commands more power. So the same is true for the map. You just have to treat someone with the podium as more of a threat than people with other continents.anamainiacks wrote:The bonuses are rather wonky aren't they... some continents are getting more than they should. Currently the statistics stand at:
Continent - No. of Territories/No. of Countries to Defend : Current Bonus
Democrats - 14/4 : 7
Republicans - 14/4 : 7
Print Media - 6/3 : 3
TV Media - 6/3 : 3
Liberal Lobby - 8/3 : 4
Conservative Lobby - 8/3 : 4
Podium - 9/3 : 6

Also, the current bonus for the Parties are only 1 more than the Podium. Considering that there are 5 more territories and 1 more country to defend, the difference in bonus should be larger. Also considering the difference between the figures of the other continents and their bonuses, the gap between the Parties' bonus and the Podium's bonus should be definitely more than 1...
But in the end it's still up to the creater, so I'll leave it up to you.
Yes, I know that in real life the Podium is more important. But this isn't real life and if all maps did follow real life, Chinese Checkers map would also allow people to attack territories 2 spaces away in a straight line to imitate the 'jumping' movements, but it doesn't, because it does not abide to the rules of real life chinese checkers. Likewise, why should this map abide to the superiority which is present in real life?sully800 wrote:I think the idea is that the podium SHOULD be more important.
