yep that's what i was thinking also. i will give it more thought when i have time
Time is the enemy of us all. Good luck.

for real. haven't you ever read Goethe?
his work is filled with emoticons.

anyways, back on track here...
i agree with herakilla.
i'm not really convinced that the sanctuary isn't at a serious disadvantage.
not sure how to reconcile the idea with the execution.

twill always picks on me.

ps. i think the veins in the blood water don't look too good. i think a slight red tinge would be good enough

I think it means you have an idea stamp?

Yeah, I think that's it. I've seen some with [GP] and [Gr], too. I think those are Game Play and Graphics stamps.

If this is it, it's a great idea - much easier than reading through the whole thread looking for the stamps.

Well, they're supposed to be on the first post as well...

thanks for the info. the stamp was already in the first post but i guess this is wasier for the mods.

time for a new update (finally)
V7
done:
-made the blood waters more flowy to blend better
-changed the troglodyte's continent colour
-changed the pit fiends' continent colour
-added neutrals
-added some claw scratches on the legend
-made a few border tweaks
-removed the animation
-changed the legend to reflect that blood waters can be attacked by any dock but they can also attack back.
-removed dock from u'rl

Hmmm - I dislike the 2 way blood waters idea...

Now the enemy can strafe in with a huge force - then escape with it... which is not what you had in mind...

Perhaps have the blood waters around the island - then have U'rl or something be able to attack any Dock outwards...

That way the Sanctuary is the main army build place - can attack out to the blood waters - and can have a way of attacking out one way... so that enemies have to come in and make some decent attacks to get out again - or conquer it.

it seems this is what people want. it's not what i want but...

ur'l was a dock so it could attack any other dock.

Herakilla · Post by **Herakilla** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 6:51 am

sanctuary is just at a huge disadvantage is my problem. like yeti said they can just go in and pop back out and take no damage from the decay

DiM · Post by **DiM** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 7:05 am

ok i'm thinking of this:

each blood water can be bombarded by any dock.
each blood water can 1 way attack any dock.
the sanctuary can directly attack any blood water.

this way nobody can come in the sanctuary via the blood waters. also bombarding the water is tricky because if you do so then the guy in the sanctuary can come and attack you through there (because you just replaced his troop with a neutral one.)

also this means i have to put back the u'rl dock because there has to be a way inside the sanctuary.

so by doing this the sanctuary can be defended by holding a huge pile in the sanctuary.

Yes but the dock was 2 way...

My suggestion is different.

Yes - that sounds good - the outer players *can* lower the sanctuary bonus... but the fear the reprisals...

Alternatively - it might work if 1 dock = 1 blood water -> so 1 person who's big can't strip the sanctuary bonus off completely...

i don't understand this part. what do you mean 1 dock = 1 blood water??

yeti_c · Post by **yeti_c** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 7:19 am

Each dock around the map - can only attack one blood water...

i.e. Ieme attacks Fo'il - Qasr attacks A'lb - Voight attacks Vir'dn - Sler attacks B'hed - Duht attacks K'rah - Ikalu attack D'im -Eon attacks Jor'g

(and then you need 2 more blood waters for the other 2 docks to attack!)

nah, that would be way to hard to explain. i would need legend space to put all the connections.

You could give each dock and connected bloodwater a number/symbol/whatever, so the legend needs just 1 sentence?

it would be way too complicated.

i'll just go with this:
