Congrats there RB

Woot, he's our boy.

[Hatchman]

Well done on a very beautiful map!

I already have several games going on on this map... So far everything seems to be great. No major imbalances found, so far.

This will undoubtedly be one of my favorite maps. I like the gameplay, it's nice and simple, just perfect for 4-6 player escalating & no spoils games, my favorites...

Looking good so far, I've seen only 2 small complaints, 1 on a the territory name change for Shimane, which is extremely easy to do, and the other is a minor one I'd like to see if anyone else complains about before changing. That one is the fact that Sado is really close to the junk of the Sea of Japan and doesn't connect where it could kinda seem that way, especially on the small map since the name sticks out towards it. That's a fairly easy fix too, but that makes more sense to be one of those quirks that you have to learn about and then keep to yourself like the super short border on South America between Goias and Ceara.

Thanks all for playing!

Nice Work RB. Love this map since it's easy to understand + nice background and colors that make it easy to study the regions on any monitor.

Updated territory name change Shimane -> Tottori. Just a bit of naming accuracy pointed out to me by [player]Canuckistan[/player] He suggested Yonago to be the name, but as I've looked at the map of Japan, Yonago seems to be just a bit south and east of Matsue(The city itself is on the small pennisula in the territory.) I felt is better to name it after the prefecture(and city which names the prefecture) which is further up the coast in the center of the territory.

Tested and checked, good to go:

And just for a bit of a teaser, remember that little extra update I had ready with an additional filler for the space between the junk and mini-map?

Game 6612601 Looks like yelllow did not get his spoils even though he had a successful attack

[fumandomuerte]

I should go with a big NO for the dragon in the middle of the sea. At least not with that style (looks too pixelated).

A player only gets spoils if he or she ends the reinforcement phase. It looks like [player]das killa[/player] either lost the connection or simply did not remember to finish reinforcement.

[RedBaron0]

The dragon was just something I was playing with, it's not intended to be an update.

The only change in the updated files in the name change of Shimane to Tottori.

Thanks ender, that's exactly what's wrong there. Run out of time, no matter how many territories to take, you don't get spoils.

Update sent to lack

[MrBenn]

I've been meaning to request this for some time, but I have just added the following text to the guidelines for the Forge:

While the map is nearing the end of the Beta phase, the mapmaker(s) will be asked to populate the Map Portal Database.

I'd be grateful if you (or your representative) could oblige, and also notify in this thread once it's done

[RedBaron0]

Done and done MrBenn.

[MrBenn]

Nice work.

The link to the XML appears to be broken - it reverts to the fileden homepage... can you double-check the link, and that the file is not in a private folder

Cheers

Are we still waiting for these to be uploaded?

[RedBaron0]

Are we still waiting for these to be uploaded?

You are correct sir.

[Frankly, my dear]

I am having an issue on Japan. Game 6690294. I am trying to assault Shimane from Ishikawa and I am being given no such option. Alternatively, I am being given the option to attack Tottori which does not appear to be anywhere. Please let me know.

[Industrial Helix]

Seems to me that the XML update has been uploaded but the Image File has not. Shimane is the old name for what became Tottori. Regardless... Ishikawa does not border that Shimane/Tottori.

EDIT: I looked at your game and it seems the image has been uploaded by now as well. I guess you must have caught CC at that special time between XML and Image updates.

[MrBenn]

The new image was uploaded yesterday; it's possible that some people may still have the old image(s) cached.

[RedBaron0]

If you see "Shimane" on your map its the old image, press F5 and it should reload the correct image.

Better still, press Ctrl+F5 (which forces the browser to ignore anything cached)
