Is it possible to convince Lack to have the mini-map and description come up in a pop-up? we could then decrease the size of the alters, and this could actually work.

If we want to change the rules, we need a solution.

It would be much easier just to allow the image.

But it would be much harder to get him to do that, because right now, its huge!

I am still looking for good suggestions for god powers for the remaining gods.

Changes:

1. added all god powers
2. updated rules
3. add legend gfx
4.changed the god hero text to verticle, i know its a bit of a pain, but it really was the only way to do it, i tried several different methods and verticle is really the cleanest and nicest.
5. various other things

I'm still loving the graphics on this one.
A few of the names are a bit hard to read, though. Mainly on the light tan territories, such as Cuspis, Tciplak, and Domi.

Only other complaint is the water being grey on the minimap. Could it be sort of a blue/grey instead?

Everything else looks good.
If this was allowed within the size limits, I'd vote for Final Forge now....

we shouldn't forget that there are XML problems with this map too

non-deployable territories don't exist at the moment.

there's no conditional auto-deploy



Also, I'm a bit confused. Zeus is 10 territories. How do you expect people to conquer the entire thing if it's non-deployable? I need to place like 20 or 30 guys onto an altar to take over the whole of Zeus.


I'd just get rid of the whole non-deployable thing anyway since we can't do that at the moment. Also it doesn't really add anything to gameplay at the moment.


Are there going to be neutral starting territories?

you're right, the non-deployables is not going to work. That was conceived before starting neutrals so I was thinking that players would start in the god spaces and I didn't want them to gain an advantage, but the whole non-deployable will not work in this case. The god and hero spaces will be replaces by neutrals and the non-deployable rule dropped.

there is very few exits from the 'other realm' so deploying there is still making a sacrifice to the gods.

as for the conditional auto-deploy... is this not possible? I would have thought they would be a way to do this. If you hold Apollo AND territories on Tenedos, then you get +2 on those territories. that's possible right? same with Hephaestus and the barracks. If not then i need to alter the god powers, but i believe it should be possible with some creative xml.

nope. autodeploy is a territory bonus. you hold the territory and you get it.

I put a suggestion in the XML thread for conditional (aka continental) auto-deploy but I think Lack shot it down for now.

I think this is one of those situations where the XML should be expanded. This is a feature that it should have.

They're going to ignore it. Then, once it's perfected, it'll die, because there won't be any more updates.

Sorry to be ridiculously anal... but isn't this technically more a map of the Siege of Troy than of the Trojan war as a whole?

The Trojan War was conducted in and around the city of troy. The greeks landed on the beach and then laid siege to troy for a while before using the horse to break in. There is other parts of the story that take place elsewhere but that is before or after the actual war part.

it won't be stickied or moved forward because of the size restrictions. it's the horrible truth. :o :(
