Re: arms race board

well, for one, this is a map issue, not a mod issue, and its been played so many times that any changes...especially this one. are beyond unlikely.

I also think you overestimate the drama that others perceive on this board. A few complaints are expected, and it isnt the map thats causing it...its the people making them.

Most importantly though, the idea is riddled with problems, and simply wont solve any problems short of making never ending arms race games, which people will then complain about.

I don't believe that is possible anyways, even if it is a bad idea.

So I don't know if this has been discussed yet or not, but here goes...
When someone deadbeats after going through the launch, it remains whatever they had left up in the missile launch and never resets until someone else kills that 1.

yes, that's how killer neutrals work. they only reset when the player holding it starts his turn.

I noticed that the drop-down lists spell the missile launch territories incorrectly - they have them written as "MISSLE."

Bumped for truth. It should be an easy adjustment to make, so I'll send MrBenn a PM if there's no update here.

Also, there is a region called "Chitba" while the real place in Russia is called Chita. Should be an easy fix as well.

Ah, but changing the name of the region as displayed on the map is not as easy as correcting a typo in the XML :-k

Not sure if I have ever said this, but this is the best map ever

I don't really have any problem updating any xml if an owner of the map is willing to authorize the changes.

Game 14875984 ?

Probably doesn't help that your team-mate unfortunately deadbeated out in round 3.

Plus, I think this map is best suited for games with 2-4 players, due to the small number of regions allocated at the start. It's playable with more players, but overall more coherent with fewer!
