It's been a while since I've paid attention to a map at it's end stages of development, so forgive the potentially silly question, but...

When do we get to play this map? :)

          Beta - Quenching

---The Final Forge period has concluded for the Kings Court Map. All objections have had their time. The Foundry and I hereby brand this map with the Foundry Beta Brand. Let it be known that this map is now ready for BETA Play. After an extended period of time in BETA and once all quirks and issues have been resolved, the map will be put into Full Play (barring any Lack vetoes).

Conquer Club, enjoy!

              Image


While the map is in BETA Play, there are a couple of administrative tasks that are required of the mapmaker(s) in addition to the initial gameplay testing:
    1. Please ensure that the first post of the thread contains all the necessary information to help future visitors to the development thread; it's particularly important to ensure the most recent images are there, along with any helpful guides (such as gameplay quirks/nuances or the location/size of any starting neutrals etc.)
    2. Please update the Map Information Portal with details of your map
    3. Finally, it is the responsibility of the mapmaker(s) to ensure that they respond to further feedback in a timely and constructive manner.

Can't wait to play it either. I don't know I managed to miss it in the foundry until it hit Final Forge, but it looks like it's going to be an interesting map :)

we also noticed a discrepancy between what was initially intended for the nobles. The +1 bonus should be auto-deployable instead of a free one.

Ahhh that will make a big difference, for chained forts it will be much more important to bring their troops in to play. This is a great map already, my first games on it were bewildering but fun. Nice work Nuno!

Good! We also felt a couple more changes were needed.

1. Knights now start at 4 neutral not 3
2. Catapults start at 4 neutral

I think that these changes will help a lot in 2 player games. I've played a couple and found that the strategy ends up being take knights, stack a bit, and then go bombard everything with archers. I'm looking forward to seeing how the 8 player game turns out though.

HA OK what is this map. Heh this is not constructive criticism, I am just saying, I need to figure this one out. I am getting my castle stomped on in all my games!

Postby nikola_milicki on Fri Dec 03, 2010 12:29 pm

sorry if u guys are already discussing this but position of villages doesnt seem right to me

- shudnt V1 village border Castle A? cuz if it was next to the castle we'd have 4 castles with two villages and 4 castles with 1 village next to them.. if this is what we want here

- distances between castles and villages are not the same which is not fair - take castle C and castle G, first is 5 territs or knight + 1 territ away from the next/third village and second is 3 territs or knight + 1 territ away from next/third village

thats all for now ;)

Great job guys, map is awesome in every way.. no standard bonuses, lots of different kinds of attack etc. Im not a fan of "start on castle" type of maps but I luv this one! =D>

Thanks a lot for the feedback Nikola

I want to avoid symmetries as much as I can :). Also, castles in the corner would always be in advantage over the other castles (the middle castles can be reached by the trebuchets of 4 castles, the other only 2). So in order to balance all castles I made a table that I'm posting below:

I gave all units a base power, according to what chip and I think is the relative power of each unit, then I gave them a range modifier - so what would worth 1 if placed the immediate hex near the castle will worth 20% less in the second hex, and so on.....
