You say a dog in the dog house can attack any path... Do you just mean any army that territory?

This map will be a lot of fun.

Why is this in foundry...

Coleman · Post by **Coleman** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 11:29 pm

Because he's done three-four drafts and they have all been good improvements and he had enough support in his poll and in the posts. It doesn't take as much to get out of map ideas as you might think.

Took a while to get western front out of the foundry...

Ah, possibly previous administration....certainly not while i was mod here.
And you can't argue with 80% support in a poll that hasn't finished yet.

You might be interested to familiarise yourself with these guidelines

i wasn't going to give bonuses there.
certainly i don't think the paths need one as these are attack routes essentially.
However, if everyone wants a bonus for all the neighbours.....???

you already have a bonus for neighbors, +4 for holding them with the dining room, thats perfect!

edbeard · Post by **edbeard** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 6:26 pm

Yea I don't really see much that needs work from my view.

Only things I see are that the Garage - Front Path 2 could be more...I dunno. I guess I get the feeling that some people will look at that and not realize that you can attack those spots.

Not a huge deal, but Bud's floor looks like a tile bathroom. Good colour though. Maybe it's just me. I'm fine with it either way though.

Bonuses and gameplay seem fine to me too (neighbors plus dining room is good enough for that area). If you really want another bonus, you could add would be something like holding all six hallways (siss's access, bud's access, WC hallway, hallway common, access and den hallway)

I think the neighbors should be mapmakers only. BTW clarify 'common areas'.

Night Strike · Post by **Night Strike** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 12:53 am

Dad's bonus needs to be 3 or 4. It's 4 territories, but 2 borders.

There is really no advantage to having the dog house and taking it's -1 if the paths don't have a bonus. I think that should be changed in some way.

I think all the bathrooms should either be a bonus or be connected. It would be like attacking through the plumbing. :wink:

And as a reminder, I still think "Hallway Common" should read "Common Hallway".

It acctually has 3 boarders so yes i think this merits a bonus of three.

I like how DiM's made to be the stocker with a camera :lol:

The dog house and the paths it has complete access to present a lot of strategic potential that may be worth -1 in the minds of many experienced players to go at.

I'd like to think of it as another way I can blast a noob who won't try to take it. :lol:

Still, I wouldn't object to a bonus for all the paths, but I don't know how you could realistically hold them all until very late in the game.

Does that particularly matter in map development? A lot of maps have bonuses that you can't realistically hold until late (throne and all walls in siege!, for example).

Common Areas unriggable :twisted:

are areas "usually" shared by everyone. In this case, they are marked on the map!

Night Strike · Post by **Night Strike** » Sat Oct 06, 2007 2:08 am

Will the Dog House start neutral?

All makes sense to me Night Strike...thanks for the suggestions.

I'll think about the dog house and paths bonus.

Yes the extra bonus is probably goign to be for holding all the Dunee's

and will change the map to read Common Hallway.
