The Hive.
Get rid of half the territories. Needs a central focus or an objective. Make everyone start with 2 (or even 1) instead of 3. AND, why are the honey cells a neutral 3.....so pointless.
The game play amounts to one giant pissing contest.
Ugh, never again.
FOED!

It has nothing to do with "wouldnt it be great sequential no cards".......
I try to give each (new) map its due on all settings to see how things shake out differently.....this map has no redeeming qualities on any setting imo.....even esc. is a nightmare.

Indeed, LMS, indeed. Those trips games are killing me. As soon as I get my 5 U.D.s I'm undergoing extensive shock therapy to remove any memory of that map from my mind. MAP FOED.

I don't even enjoy winning on this map and once you have lost the game it takes 50 freaking turns to end it even when you don't fight back. Not to mention the lag is horrible. Other than that its a great map!

Great concept...terrible execution. Cut it down to 1/3rd of the size and it might have some redeemable qualities. Unless it was designed for freemiums who just want to get as much CC time in as possible. Is this map perhaps the answer to ending people from making multiple free accounts, hardly. Yes that was very abstract.

Hey, I kinda like the map. I won my first game on it... but it is really frustrating when you're going for a kill in escalating. Shit, the first kill took me 2 or 3 turns. Do I have all the territories covered? Yeah, think so. Wait, no, there's some stupid territory with 1 troop that I have no way attacking. How did I miss that! ...oh yeah, because there's 350 other territories that look just like it.

We need a 12 & 16 players option for maps like this... And I agree that 3 troops on all the cells is kinda pointless.

FOED!
the downside is, once the game is determined on the winner(s), it still takes over a couple weeks to finish if the other player/team moves once per day. Especially in no cards/flat rate.

It has nothing to do with "wouldnt it be great sequential no cards".......

Stick to doodle then...let the pros play on the tough maps...lol
I agree a central objective is needed though, because even after winning, it takes too long to finish...however, getting up to the winning part is like playing on 4 maps simultaneously...
breakthrough on fairness on CC for blocking the territory bonus... means you have to focus on bonuses, and that is where pure strategy is needed.
but doodles fun too
as is flipping a coin.

But come on fitzy, our 2p speed game, that should have lasted in the region of 10 - 15 minutes ended up taking us just under an hour to complete!!!
