I did have to slightly change the small map.... I realized I put the wrong region name in the wrong spot in a couple instances, but otherwise there is no graphical change.

Baron,

I'm not convinced that the underdog bonus works.

I will explain -

First we have no underdog.

Code: Select all

<name>No Underdog</name>
<bonus>0</bonus>
.
.
.
<required>4</required>
<override>Underdog 3 Regions</override>

So at the start everyone will virtually have this bonus, but will then override underdog 3 regions and receive (which is also spelled wrong on map )this bonus:

Code: Select all

<name>Underdog 3 Regions</name>
<bonus>1</bonus>
.
.
.
<required>3</required>
<override>Underdog 2 Regions</override>

Which will then override underdog 2, so on and so forth until it reaches underdog 1 and can't go any farther and people will be starting the game with +4 from underdog 1 bonus.

With that I think you can use the new collections function.

Code: Select all

<continent>
<name>Underdog Bonus</name>
<bonuses>
<bonus required="1">4</bonus>
<bonus required="2">-2</bonus>
<bonus required="3">-1</bonus>
<bonus required="4">-1</bonus>
<bonus required="5">0</bonus>
</bonuses>
<components>
<territory>Somerton</territory>
<territory>Woodhaven</territory>
<territory>Pennypack</territory>
<territory>Torresdale</territory>
<territory>Holmesburg</territory>
<territory>Fox Chase</territory>
<territory>Mayfair</territory>
<territory>Tacony</territory>
<territory>Wissinoming</territory>
<territory>Bridesburg</territory>
<territory>Roxborough</territory>
<territory>Chestnut Hill</territory>
<territory>Mt. Airy</territory>
<territory>Oak Lane</territory>
<territory>Olney</territory>
<territory>Manayunk</territory>
<territory>Fairmount Park</territory>
<territory>Juniata</territory>
<territory>Kensington</territory>
<territory>Port Richmond</territory>
<territory>Strawberry Mansion</territory>
<territory>Boathouse Row</territory>
<territory>Fishtown</territory>
<territory>Art Museum</territory>
<territory>Chinatown</territory>
<territory>Spring Garden</territory>
<territory>Logan's Circle</territory>
<territory>City Hall</territory>
<territory>Olde' City</territory>
<territory>Penn's Landing</territory>
<territory>Rittenhouse Square</territory>
<territory>Society Hill</territory>
<territory>University City</territory>
<territory>Overbrook</territory>
<territory>Cobb's Creek</territory>
<territory>Elmwood</territory>
<territory>Hog Island</territory>
<territory>Gray's Ferry</territory>
<territory>Pennsport</territory>
<territory>Passyunk</territory>
<territory>Sports Complex</territory>
<territory>Navy Yard</territory>
<territory>Tacony-Palmyra Bridge</territory>
<territory>Betsy Ross Bridge</territory>
<territory>Ben Franklin Bridge</territory>
<territory>Walt Whitman Bridge</territory>
</components>
</continent>

Am I right? The key part is right here:

Code: Select all

<bonus required="1">4</bonus>
<bonus required="2">-2</bonus>
<bonus required="3">-1</bonus>
<bonus required="4">-1</bonus>
<bonus required="5">0</bonus>

So if you have 1, you gain 4.
If you have 2, you gain 2 (-2 + 4= 2)
If you have 3, you gain 1 (-1+ -2 + 4 = 0)
And if you have 4, you gain 0 (-1 + -1 + -2 + 4 = 0)
If you have 5, you gain 0 (0 + -1 + -1 + -2 + 4 = 0)
Then from 5 to 46 you continue to gain the bonus from having 5 components.

You can get back at me at the tournament this year.

Oh, the map you have above doesn't match XML check thread. It said "recieve" there

[RedBaron0]

I dun get it Gilly.... ugh I see it now. I before E except after C.

[Gilligan]

hehe

Will check XML later tonight, Big Bang Theory is on

[RedBaron0]

kk Gilly, thanks, I fixed the misspelling.

[Gilligan]

kk Gilly, thanks, I fixed the misspelling.

Well damn it's a repeat. What the hell.

[RedBaron0]

BAZINGA!

[Gilligan]

Just my two cents, but I think it'd be neat to make the underdog bonus "for being an underdog"

Gilligan received 4 armies for being an underdog

But that's just me

[koontz1973]

Congrats RB0. Another step in the right direction for this one.

[RedBaron0]

Not a bad idea Gilly, I'll add that in there, thanks guys!

YO, ADRIAN

WE AREN'T READY

There seems to be an XML issue that's out of our hands on this one. Working on it ASAP.

[RedBaron0]

whata, huh? you getting senile in your retirement Gilly, or can you enlighten me??

[Gilligan]

Just letting everyone else know - talked to RB on Skype, and there's not much that I know about it. Reaching out to admins, hope to get an answer soon.

[RedBaron0]

Collection bonus updated and good to go, just so everybody knows.

Beta - Quenching

---The development period has concluded for the Philadelphia Map. All objections have had their time. The Foundry and I hereby brand this map with the Foundry Beta Brand. Let it be known that this map is now ready for BETA Play. After an extended period of time in BETA and once all quirks and issues have been resolved, the map will be put into Full Play (barring any Admins or Foundry Foreman vetoes).

Conquer Club, enjoy!

While the map is in BETA Play, there are a couple of administrative tasks that are required of the mapmaker(s) in addition to the initial gameplay testing:

1. Please ensure that the first post of the thread contains all the necessary information to help future visitors to the development thread; it's particularly important to ensure the most recent images are there, along with any helpful guides (such as gameplay quirks/nuances or the location/size of any starting neutrals etc.)
2. It is the responsibility of the mapmaker(s) to ensure that they respond to further feedback in a timely and constructive manner.
3. Write a "creative" map description and send it to [player]thenobodies80[/player] via PM. You're encouraged to post it into the first post of the thread as well; the description will be used to populate the maps database.
