Same. I really enjoyed this map at first, but now I if I see it in random I'm just disappointed. I've had too many games where I only drop merchants and from there it's an automatic loss unless your opponent is brain dead.

Yeah if DiM comes back we may be able to balance it but idk if he will ...

Wow, there's a blast from the past!

How have you been, DiM?


here, there and everywhere.
basically life took over. but yesterday i somehow remembered CC and i said to myself: "damn, i wonder if CC stil exists and my maps are still active. better check it out"

Your maps are my faves, and we ...

Read up codie. It's been said several times, at least three by myself, that DiM has left the site and unless zimmah has the graphics files nobody can really take it over.

Unfortunatly I don't have the graphical files, nor do I have any way to contact DiM.

I am really sad about it because DiM has ...

All round 2 games are under way.
Round 3 will be exchanged shortly.

Good, good, now just stay on track and wait for the train.

I just wanted to say if you need help with complicated XMLs I'm always willing to help.

I don't really like the simple maps but challenging XML codes are fun to write.

It'll be close, supermax is not over yet but maybe 60-40 you guys, but a couple good turns of dice and that can turn around. It'll be an interesting finish!

Spanish Armada isn't over either, but barring a dice CATASTROPHE it'll be AFOS, I'd say 95-5 in that one! ^_^
Would we have been able to ...

I predict we win with only 1 game difference, if i look at all the current games still going.

We are 2 games ahead right now, but out of the ongoing games we will lose just over half i think, so it will come down to a single game.

Do you make a z sound there or an s sound?!

then why is ice spelled ice and not ise?

It's surprising i haven't seen a topic about this, but a while ago I got a mail from icepack stating that everyone who participates in clan wars gets a clan achievement, no matter if they wn or lose.

I'm personally not happy with this because it gives nothing to the winners.

I'm fine with a ...

Why does no one here think necrobumping is weird?

Scenario 1:
Someone makes a new post about something that has been said already in 2013. Someone else complains and tells the OP to "use the search tool, it's there for a reason, this has alreeady been posted back in 2013 you noob"

Scenario 2 ...

It was a pretty close war until the end, and the final result will be pretty close as well.

Thanks for the war, there were some nice games here and it's always nice having close wars.

out of he 7 games i am still in that are unfinished, we are on the winning side on 5 of them, and on the losing side on 2 of them.

however, some of them are more close than others, and can still go either way.

and it's still 12-12, no one is in the lead still.

someone should make a 2048 map

just because we can

someone wanted to make a map of westeros once, even had a draft for it too, but got shot down due to copyright.

I think we should try different things, but with asymmetrically balanced maps like this, it's important to not make too many changes at once when you try to change for balance.

So, it's better to make small changes and make many of them and hopefully after a few changes it will be much more ...

i'm sorry i'm not posting more often but my time is extremely limited. :(

i haven't had the time to play this too much but so far i agree 1v1 can become an attrition battle especially if both players are pirates/merchants.

assassin and terminator games would just play as a standard game so not ...

has anyone mentioned that the impassible rivers between places like weam & kinga are not listed on the map?
I suppose it isn't completely necessary but it seems most other cc maps make these things a bit more clear.

It is assumed that this map is used mostly by advanced players and therefore they ...

it is by design that the ships can't be attacked, that's the whole point.....

changes: Moved Esa'ala 7 pixels to the left on the large map by DiMs request.

agreed, the forum is completely dead right now.

I just hope this won't be another million lines of XML code dim, I'm still not even halfway on the other monster ;)

Anyway I love your work, your maps are always fun to play and I'll do my best to support the map making process in any way I can.

I'll have a better look later when I am at my ...

by the way, in in the objective for DiM, can you have any three islands, or just the 3 named? Because in the current XML it's just the 3 named.

I am not sure, they feel strong because there's just so much coast, an it's nearly impossible to hold a continent anyway.

I do like the extra mobility of pirates, but it may indeed be a little over the top.

Having Red Beard require a port or two may indeed be a good call, because than it will be a ...
