I'll lower the auto deploy regions to 3, and the grass to 8.

I'll also allow the lord of the flies to bombard the cow pat, so in a fog of war game it will allow the lord of the flies to see what's going on in the pat.

I've thought about it and I'm considering another idea from greenoaks who suggest the Tongue (Mouth) should be able to attack the grass. This would allow back doors into most of small bonuses accept the tail. If the tongue can attack the grass I would most likely make it a two way thing, so if you take the grass you can go to either of the legs or the tongue.

I plan to post a new version tomorrow in the drafting room, and apply for a super size sticker tomorrow.

I'd be interested to know what people think about the added tongue and fly options?

Good or bad?

Best Wishes,
Dana

i am all for my suggestion being a two-way event. the mouth eats the grass but it could be viewed as the grass ends up in the mouth. so moving from one to the other is reasonable.

a fly going directly to the cow pat also makes sense. not sure about bombarding or +2 there but i'll give that some more thought.

the lines marking the territories look much better but they thicken in places. is that intentional?

I would prefer the lines to vary in thickness to give more of an organic feel, but if that,s against the rules I,ll change it.

I look forward to your thoughts on the lord of the flies and grass regions.

Thanks isaiah40,

I guess now I am waiting for supersize map approval?

Then a draft stamp.

Is there anything else I need to do until then?

I've read the handbook and it seems I need three stamps before I start to work on the coding.

Best Wishes,

Would any three stamps do?

Yes this does appear to be the spiritual descendant of Beef Cuts. However this looks 1 million times better!

I think this is a great idea, and I always have. It's funny, educational, and objectively its a pretty sweet map.

I'm totally giving this the Bison King Sticky of Approval! Keep up the good work.

FYI, Rl took hold this past week, so I will be looking at your supersize application a little closer in the next couple of days. One question, I need to know the sizes of both the small and the large you would like to use. Please edit your application while I take a look at it.

dana1971 · Post by **dana1971** » Thu Nov 03, 2011 6:18 pm

Hi Isaiah40,
I've updated my super size application.
Was thinking:
Small 750 x 567
Large 1000 x 751

I have the image at a much higher resolution if the good people at CC think it should be bigger.

Best Wishes,
Dana

Ok, I'm going to wait to stamp draft stamp this, until it gets supersized.

isaiah40 · Post by **isaiah40** » Sat Nov 05, 2011 11:34 am

moo moo mooooo moo mooo!!

You may want to consider renaming the thread to something like Beef Cuts or something along those lines.

The Bison King · Post by **The Bison King** » Sat Nov 05, 2011 12:02 pm

MOOOOOO
MOOOOOO
MOOOOOOVED,

to the main map foundry. Good luck, and I'd follow up with what Isiah said about renaming it. Hmm... but what to name it? oh! how about Beef cut?!

The one thing I love about this map, is that I can take it to my butcher (who does not speak English) and show him what I want. Everything is there from a good steak to a nice joint for Sunday lunch. Glad to see this one being continued.

As for a name, Beef Cuts.

Hmmm .... I didn't know you ate joints! I thought you smoked them! :lol:

And yes I do know what an English joint is!!

Moved! Awesome... I'm looking forward to this map and I like the name Beef Cuts better than simply Cow or Conquer Cow.

Also... Lord of the Flies? that is a book that had little to do with flies or cows... I'd suggest a rename on that territory.

cairnswk · Post by **cairnswk** » Sat Nov 05, 2011 4:44 pm

dana1971. congrats on the stamps...this could be an interesting map.
Can you please get your title on page sorted...
Map Name [latest update date] Version Number-Page Number (latest update is on) - Issue for discussion
....seems to be the most appropriate format

dana1971 · Post by **dana1971** » Sat Nov 05, 2011 7:45 pm

Hooray stickers.

I like the name "Prime Beef" better than anything with cuts in it.
I named it cow at first because I thought if someone herd the name they would know instantly what the map was.
But I'm happy to change it. What do you all think of Prime Beef as a name?

I noticed some people have a cool code where they have all the older maps hidden on the front page which can be seen if you click on them.
Like this page for example:
http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=241&t=107186

How do I do that with my thread?

I will do my best to get the title page organized, but I don't use forum's that often so you may need to let me know if I've done it wrong.

Best Wishes,
Dana

A couple of things. One you are going to have to change Lord of the Flies to something else. That is a name of a book and movie. Secondly, you are going to have to add in some impassables to keep this from being totally open. I know, cattle don't have impassables on them, but for a game they do.

Yea, but the muscles are wrapped around the bones. Using bones as impassbles would keep with the theme.
