Jamaica

[cairnswk]

I'm watching this discussion with interest; the game I'm currently playing is finely balanced and appears to be turning into a 3-way stalemate/build game

Are there any further changes being suggested/considered? If not, then I think we can push the boat out on this one...

There are no changes being offered at present.

Don't know where to post this, but Ill do it here anyway. Ive played a lot of games on CC and have held a lot of ranks (This is suppose to establish my credibility (but it sounds dumb)) ,and I think that this map is one of the best to be made in a long time. It has depth that makes way to a lot of strategy without needless complications.

Anyway my 2cents... thanx for the work.

hi just noticed when playing doubles or quad manual deploy you cant deploy troups you click start and it starts with 3 on each instead of placing all on 1 region like poland

This was sent tome via email, thanks Mageplunka

after a huge amount of games played on Jamaica, i want to say i think its one of the best maps made yet. no matter what setting we use, it is just awesome....thanks for all of it...

also is there any reason wy port antonio has 6 troups on compared to others having 5

Yes just to balance neutrals and the attacks from wherever.

Can you elaborate on this a bit? In Game 8849608 we were all wondering about this seemingly random 6 troop neutral spot.. I am unsure what you mean by balancing the neutrals and attacks from wherever.. Thanks!

Balancing the numbers is part of the gameplay process...it is not feasible to have any areas on some maps with an easier path to attack than others. Because there are attack paths across the island there is also that balancing that has to be accounted for. This is why this is done that way. It is not simply a process of applying a one rule fits all.

but would it not be more fair to add 1's to the surronding regions the port antonio gives you a small disadvantage because it is the first region you need to attack and is worth plus 2 on your deploy.

eddie2, the map is what it is.

Version 2.

Port Royal and Kingston have been added as mini-maps with attacking terts inside them.
Now 31 terts...map growing, but now becoming complicated.

Back on page one of initial discussion the above map was put forward as a suggestion, but it was ky-washed for some reason.

interesting.
