Looks good to me. There are some small edits, like
Code: Select all
 <name>Radiation Effect 5</name> instead of  <name>Radiation Effect  5</name>
Is Radiation Effect the way we want to say it? I haven't played that map in forever.

Note: To all the other people that want me to get things done, maybe you should IM me at the1coleman@hotmail.com (msn) or the1coleman (aim) or the1coleman@gmail.com (gtalk) because that's the only reason I even saw this. Sooo Busy. :lol:

Note 2: (err don't e-mail those, I don't read them)

irradiated normally refers to food items, for example tomatoes, that have been deliberately exposed to a controlled dose of radiation to kill bacteria, but which do not give off harmful radiation themselves after such treatment.

http://www.food.gov.uk/safereating/rad_ ... radfoodqa/

on the other hand, the relevant territories on this map do have harmful effects, so the word u want is radioactive.

Actually - when you have positive - it turns into "a radiation nexus"...

So I guess if you're looking to keep similar names - then you need to change the positives to that...

The real question - is to what do you change the 0 position.

if you look at the xml or play the game, the game log says irradiated territory and radiation nexus. BUt this revision has gotten rid of the need for radiation nexuses.

But "Irradiated Territory" is a negative thing - why would you get negative bonuses for it?

If you hold 3 - you neither get a positive or negative bonus - thus "Nexus" or "Irradiated" is not relevant... as one implies bonus and one implies negative

But since we only have 1 term now, we don't have to worry about 0.

But I'm saying you *should* have 2 terms - as
a) That's how it was originally
b) the term you have chosen doesn't fit all 3 options.

well, the reason why I'm doing this is because people get confused with 2 terms.

Radiation Effects might be better, since that's how it's stated on the map.

Yes - that *would* be a better name... although - changing the names may be against the original authors wishes - so you will need to get Gimil to attempt to contact him/her.
