Antarctica [Quenched]

[natty dread]

Hi,

I realy liked this map and used to have great results (1 tourney win and only 1 lost until today).
But since it's a 8 base start, I don't see any more interest in this map.
You start, you win ...
You already know all the start position of your ennemy.
I realy prefered the 4 bases start.
Thx for taking care of my opinion

But a big thx for the work you've done to create this map.

It will be changed back, I have already submitted the new xml.

[MrBenn]

The new xml should now be live...

[natty dread]

Thanks MrB! That was fast

[HighlanderAttack]

Thanks. I will see what happens my next game.

We do appreciate all you do, just so you know, just voicing concerns.

And trust me--every game I played with the 8 bases I won or lead in as I got the start in all of them

[sm8900]

is there any bonus for holding a region? just want to ask, thanks.

also, what does the notation mean in the lower right corner? "territories: +3 bonus for holding any amount." not sure I follow. thanks.

[natty dread]

Yes, it's +2 for each 2 territories in the same area.

+3 is in stead of the normal territory bonus you get which is +1 for each 3 territories.

[mr. CD]

Awesome, thanks. It looks perfect again now <3

[HighlanderAttack]

I am liking how it is playing 1v1 again thanks

Thanks for the thanks

[perchorin]

Agreed, much better now.

[natty dread]

Is everyone now satisfied with the gameplay?

Maybe it's time to quench this thing? (finally...)

LOVE this map! one small note.. currently, you get spoils for the ice floes. Since its pretty much impossible for anyone to hold those, should they be excluded? No biggie, just a thought... (in other games, the goal is included.. such as Sanctuary on the AOR games, but this just seems different because they are active play spaces, just ones that will never be held by someone until their next turn).

This happens in every game with "killer neutrals" i.e. you get spoils for the missile bases in Lunar Wars or a spoil for Naval Superiority in Eastern Hemisphere. Just another luck factor in games on those maps in my opinion.

[natty dread]

Unfortunately, it's not possible to exclude territories from giving spoils...

[natty dread]

Can this be quenched now?

[thenobodies80]

Someone has issues with the new version of the map?
If no one has further questions or suggestions I'll quench it within a couple of days.

Congratulations Natty

[natty dread]

Thanks

This was a fun map to work on, all things considered.

[ender516]

It's good to get that last continent into the lineup. Congrats, nats!

[mnavos]

Thanks for the map post.. But don't know when I can start with this.. Have to finish other maps before going to this one..

[JeopardyTempest]

Probably unnecessary for 99% of people, and perhaps not even a valid questioned situation... but I went after South Pole in my first game hoping it might only have 15 armies or something on it. I know that it resets to 30... but is it possible that it starts at a lower value? If it is possible, perhaps a clarification in the map text, though honestly, I'd doubt it affects many people at all. As much as anything, just wondering if it is possible to set it up that way on maps...

[ender516]

Currently, if I am not mistaken, killer neutrals reset to their starting values, so if it is going to reset to 30, it has to start at 30.
