Yes UC/DC/Ss are access-ways to/from the castle so they don't get bonuses that can clog the pathways

This is the composition of Das Dorf (The Village/town)

It might look slightly different but rest assured it's not.
The legend say "8 white patterend territories"...if you count them, you'll find there is 8.

its giving ones for the parachuttes for deploy now. Was it meant to be that way from beginning, or was it mistake when updating something on map.

I saw the access point turn to red, that is better...more will see it...though im still in favor of dropping point and replacing it with (resets!)

i prefer access point.

I haven't played 'er yet, so I'm not one to talk about the change, but I think Fitzy and his 90+ games trump your 2 games.

What has been chenged can be undone...this is still in beta...but i might also remind you to keep calm, you are not the only player on this site regrardless of your credentials (and no disrespect there either)

natty_dread wrote:Hey Fitz, the hostility is very much uncalled for. You could try spending months of your time - for free - making a map to an online site and getting nothing but complaints as a reward...

I always thought of you as a levelheaded guy Fitz... Let's just calm down and try to think of feasible solutions instead of pointing fingers, eh?

natty_dread wrote:Hey, I understand where you're coming from... but if nobody would have complained about the map then it likely wouldn't have been changed. Cairns is most probably just trying to go by the suggestions & feedback given to him, like any mapmaker...

Also it's good to remember that tone of speech is hard to relay through the internet. What one intends as a light joke, another can read as a serious insult...

But anyway, I have yet to finish a game on this map, so I'm going to butt off this discussion for now. I hope everything can be resolved in a satisfactory way, to all parties.

MarshalNey wrote:I realize that I haven't read all 78 pages of this thread (just the last one), but I'm playing a game on Das Schloss with 6 players... and 2 of the players started with 2 parachutes, the rest of us with only 1.

It seems like an unfair advantage since only 2 of the 8 players got a de facto 7 manually deployed troops per turn as opposed to our 5, and a total troop advantage of +4 in the first few rounds.

Is there any way to make sure that the 'extra' parachutes are neutral?

- Landeplatz A & B / Hubschrauber A & B- It says they both reset to 14 neutral / 60 neutral but that is only once they are owned for a turn. That should be clarified. It's important to know that you can chip away at them w/o having your work reset.

- Landeplatz A &B - Resetting LA/LB to neutral is tolerable but not necessary IMO. At 14, using those passes when it resets is not a viable option. I would not mind just putting it at 20 and making it not resettable.

- Landeplatz / Hubschrauber - What is the point of going through 14/60 (resettable) to take out the remaining parachutes? If a player has the ability to do all that he is much more easily going to just control the game from AA and take the objectives. The L/H option is just something that is fun to do but is just going to get your opponent mad at you for not finishing them faster. It is not at all a viable part of the game. My reccommendation is make the Landeplatz areas at 20 and non resettable. Make the Hubschrauber boats 5 and make them resettable to neutral.

You hold Philby.

I agree

Capitino wrote:I've been playing several 1vs1 games on it and it found a very effective way to take a huge advantage when you start. The tactics are like this:
- you get 5 troops, spread them evenly over the paratroopers (1 each and 1 to place where you like)
- from every paratrooper, take the next two countries, this gives a huge bonus
- your opponent will probably do the same, since it is by far the best thing to do
- now you get 16 troops to deploy, find the territory next to the access point that has the most armies and put them all on it
- from here you take access point, Sdt Gerd, DD3, AA and you destroy all C1-Y2 of you opponent
You'll probably get pretty far with destroying your opponents bonusses and this gives you a huge benefit, already in round 2. Maybe this is something to consider.
