Labyrinth [Quenched]

[loutil]

It would appear as if I have found a flaw. In a current game I hold both L-10 and L-12 food. I do not hold any other food terts but the game is giving me the plus 1 bonus.

Can you post the game number? Is it foggy?

I think the issue is that you're probably holding K5 and looking at the small map. The small map does not contain the food icon, but the large map does, and K5 is listed as part of the food bonus. The corrected small map image was posted on June 18 but hasn't been uploaded yet.

Not this as I do not hold k5 .

Could also be the one at the very top which was misplaced (n7 is the actual location but the small map shows it as n8)

Bingo , we have a winner. Very strange. That is a bug that needs fixing...

It is also on the next graphics update waiting for upload (on p37 if you're interested).

p.s. I saw that one after using BOB to highlight the bonuses, not sure if I was the first though.

pps. I suggest that using BOB for bonus highlight to check for notable graphics/xml discrepancies should be introduced as a standard test (even if BOB doesn't like conditional border/stacking some of the new bonuses, it still know where they are)

[koontz1973]

All of this is sorted in the latest updates. I have sent them of and am waiting for the upload.

Also, I read the map legend under ROF and under slaves Entrance, and yet a major detail of those was left to the Prometheus section. There should be an asterisk there.

I see this has already been raised in this thread. Why should I have to read the entire legend when I am just trying to learn the individual territories as I go.

[EricPhail]

The new small map may have been the wrong file, Koontz: the N7/N8 food thing isn't corrected, and I know we discussed it and you drew a map that corrected it:

New image fixes K5 but not N7
(the food is on the corner of the yellow bombardment area according to BOB and the large map, but one in on the small)

It could of course be that the small map is correct re: n7/8 and the large map (and presumably the xml according to bob) are wrong but there is a discrepancy there

Good spot. Here it is with both corrections.

but for some reason the current map seems to be an earlier version (k5 fix only)

[koontz1973]

I will get isaiah to send the correct files again. Lets hope it clears this up.

As long as you let me know where the files are, I can send them!

Hi everyone,

I just started by hasard this map and I already like it but I have a question about the reinforcement : it says 1 for every 4 territories but it doesn't shown any bonus to the guys who have it in my game... do I miss something obvious or is it a bug ?
You can check it out at Game 12849667, it's without fog
I guess Red doesn't have any bonus because of the -1 of Siren's call but shouldn't orange get the +1 ?

The +1 for every four territs is the normal reinforcements and not a bonus. So between 1 and 19 territs, you will receive 3 troops, but at 20 regions, you will get 4, 24 -5, 28 - 6. So it is not a bug but it is not a bonus.

Thanks !
I didn't though of that logical answer

Well I guess it's then wiser to wait and build in early game at 8 players. Too much to lose compared to what bonus you can gain.

I have heard that it is wise to wait till you have a few good men in the slave entrance but I have just won my first game by getting out and building fast.

I played the map once - and lost ... Though it is a good map...

I tried to get out and capture a few key spots to control the board - like both Gorgons (Medusa) and Gaia's Spears..

yet, I left my slave entrances unprotected thinking the fire ring will help a lot fr that...

The other player just played the sides of the board and my key locations did not seem to ever be needed - as I was quickly wiped out...

But it's a great game - and glade it was made

[Limdul]

I just realised something, my game is with Adjacent reinforcements... thus the ring of fire is really a pain now. I mean, as soon as I take it and go out, the auto deploy of the slave entrance becomes useless until someone try to take it from me

EDIT : Forgot what I just said, I'm an idiot

[DoomYoshi]

Loving this map.

[koontz1973]

Loving this map.

Loving this feedback.

[thenobodies80]

Now, apart the small and temporary issue with conditionals ( that it wasn't just related with this map), is there anything to change here? Is everyone happy with the map as it is now?

---The Beta period has concluded for the Labyrinth Map. All objections have had their time. The Foundry and I hereby brand this map with the Foundry Brand. Let it be known that this map is now ready to be released into live play.

Congratulations koontz1973 and nolefan5311, your shiny new medals are well-earned


Conquer Club, enjoy!

Now, in the next hours or so, some of you may notice that even if the map is quenched, it is listed as Beta into the start a game page, etc etc.
This because I'm not going to change the status. Admins have to do a test, not directly related to the map but with the recently released Beta Medals. For this reason we need to wait they do their job, it shouldn't take too long.
Apart for the status, everything else works as usually.

well done koontz!

[isaiah40]

Congrats koontz!! Very well done!

Hello,
i'm playng this game: Game 13157636

For the first time, after several games played, I attached a Siren with a good number of troops and I realized that once taken can no longer use those troops that have entered the territory.
I can not even transfer at the end of turn.
For me this is a bug!

Not a bug, they work as intended. They give a big bonus for one region so you need to defend them. With how many you defend them with is up to you.

I have a quick question regarding this map (really nice one btw).
It's my first team/polymorphic game and I am unsure on how to manage Prometheus: does the player attacking true the ring of fire needs to be the same as the one holding Prometheus?

Never-mind I found it by looking at the thread. Can the mapmaker make a note of it on the first page of this thread, I am pretty sure some other people will have the same question.

Thank you
