Vertex/Austrum [Quenched]

[Faro]

gilligan, I only count 9 yellow regions. Did you win with holding the ten that included Arctous? The winning condition is set up to hold two things, a region and a bonus. The region Arctous is not in the bonus so it should not of happened. Did you miss a yellow troop somewhere?

EDIT: Is the game poly? This may be a bug then with that style of game.

it is poly. in the screenshot above, I had 9 regions and Arctous and did not win. I'm just saying the statement of how to win is a big ambiguous as to whether or not it includes Arctous. I thought I would win with 9 regions + Arctous = 10 regions.

It does say:
hold Arctous and 10 regions
not
Hold 10 regions including Arctous.

Not sure how to better word something that is pretty plain now.

Hold Arctous and 10 other regions.

?

Would not fit and sounds pedantic.

What about Hold Arctous plus 10 regions? does it sounds better?

On austrum, I think you're missing a Connect 4 bonus for Sarnia+Icaria+Meiste+Ionia.

How are the following regions not 4 connected in same zone and why am I not getting +1 bonus?
Delos
Syros
Cauda
Anticosti

This still does not appear to be fixed.

This still does not appear to be fixed.

koontz has not been around in months.

I suppose this raises a question: Traditionally it's been said that a map cannot be changed without a mapmaker's consent, but if the "change" is just a bugfix, can the Foundry Assistants not go ahead and just fix it? After all, nothing of the mapmaker's creative vision is being changed. It's just that an error in the code has been found.

koontz himself produced the attached xml file last year with the bonus code below, but it seems that an older xml is still active. however, the baron can fix that!

Code: Select all

<continent>
   <name>Connexio IV</name>
   <bonus>1</bonus>
   <components>
      <territory>Syros</territory>
      <territory>Cauda</territory>
      <territory>Delos</territory>
      <territory>Anticosti</territory>
   </components>
</continent>

On the Vertrex map. If I have the regions Syros, Cauda, Anticosti, Dode, Delos and Fioina.
Shouldn't I have a +5 in deployement?

Dode Anticosti Cauda Syros
Dode Anticosti Cauda Delos
Fioina Delos Cauda Syros
Fioina Delos Cauda Anticosti
Delos Cauda Syros Anticosti

Because I have all of them and I only received +4.


EDIT :
I guess this is still the problem mentionned above which hasn't be fixed yet??

How are the following regions not 4 connected in same zone and why am I not getting +1 bonus?
Delos
Syros
Cauda
Anticosti

[iancanton]

we've fixed the delos-syros-cauda-anticosti bonus and the new xml for vertex is live now!

bug - dead link

on the listing of maps when you click the link to go to discussion of strategy you get a dead link message

also why on tempest do you have a general strategy typed but a link on austrum ?? I would think a typed strategy would better.

I am currently playing on Austrum as a "random map" - we a several rounds in and I had no clue how to win... took 1/2 hour scanning through the builder's forum to get a general idea, then finally saw the discussion about ships. Not first time player friendly IMHO :>

interesting game idea and play though
