One thing that ive already told you, i dont like the way that there's only one entrance to each castle

[MrBenn]

I'm just trying to get my head around how the new kingdom fits/aligns with the former one...
[bigimg]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c64/Gimil_01/feudalsmallcopy-8.png[/bigimg]

You've used the same names (sort of), but the castles are in different positiions in relation to each other; the river/lake has moved... it is just a bit confusing

[t-o-m]

Also - I dont like the name :/

[max is gr8]

Why have you named one town "Hor" is it because it is famous for its prostitution laws

[cena-rules]

QUENCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok Im kidding but I like

I still say that hor makes your map sound like a prossie but your scottish so...

anyway Cen rocks

[max is gr8]

Cena stole my joke

[LFAW]

I LOVE IT!!!

Except... 1 entrance per castle...

[lord voldemort]

gameplay for 1v1 will be interesting with the 8 starting points...
andd i agree with wat tom said....about only one entrance

[t-o-m]

QUENCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cen rules!

[t-o-m]

Theres a territory in Hor with no number on it.

[cena-rules]

Cena stole my joke

I told him it in chat when I first saw it

YOU STOLE MY JOKE

[Kaplowitz]

I agree with Mr. Benn. Either make it all different, or make it the same but expanded.

[Natewolfman]

I agree with Mr. Benn. Either make it all different, or make it the same but expanded.

herehere! looks good though and i do like the 1 enterance thing, makes for different gameplay then the first... but i like name consistancy perhaps if you make thet wo northern most castles the same as the 2 southern most castles in the first feudal war to make this map seem like its expanding downword

[yeti_c]

Nah - same name castles is a complete non issue.

man this gave me a total hard-on. well not literaly, but i am very excited about this! Some cool stuff there! i would have to print it out and play around to figure out how the only one entrance thing effects gameplay... although i would tend to agree that two entrances is better. however, i think that if you made everything the same as in the old feudal... well, it would jst be too same so the one-entrance thing in my opinion, although gameplay with two is more complex and arguably more interesting, adds to feudalate being its own map. because, effectively, why would you want two maps on which strategy is completely identical? at the same time, you of course dont want to make too big of a change, so the one-entrance thing gives it all a nice touch.
i also find the same names to be a bit confusing, maybe come up with some new ones? it just doesnt work well with the others. but also this is something i can easily get over.

now, to me so far the most interesting question is... how many neutrals do you intend on placing everywhere? other than that, it looks nearly finished to me already! props to you for working it out so nicely before even presenting it!

edit: i also noted that this time you took care not to have any territory bordering two territories with the same numbers. good thinking there! this will save me some misattacks hehe. also there are no longer any two castles that can directly attack each other. i guess that has to be with the only one entrance per kingdom thing. that makes for a more equal drop in every case, however does take away some interesting strategies.

Think about it this way, if we had 8 new names for castles, would it feel like feudal?

Similar to the old one. My current thinking is 2 on kingdom terrs with a 10 at the entrance (same as old), 5 on the villages and 1 on everything else (same as old).

Yeah that was a key point brought out when developing the map!

[barterer2002]

Why does having two terts within a kingdom give you -1 in this one or am I just misreading it (but it sure looks like -1 to me)

[t-o-m]

Its probably a dash

Its suppose to me a + but the pixels ain't playing fair!

[edbeard]

I dunno. It's too much like Famine for me.




I get the name. Feudal War with 8 players. Feudal-ate. I don't like it. I can't think of anything better though.

maps looks good

[InkL0sed]

I dunno. It's too much like Famine for me.

Bwahahahaha!

[hecter]

I think my biggest worry is that you'd be ruining a good thing... Y'know? It's like when they release a really good movie, and then the sequel is just awful and it's a real downer!

On that note, good luck!

[InkL0sed]

Hor 15 is too small. Shrink some of the territories around it, you have the space...
