Demons & Angels [7/2] Vacation please.

The nobodies. As you said, things still need to be worked out with the bonuses. I worked out that the light can attack the demons and angels so a huge bonus/decay are not needed. That is done for the next update. Viper pointed that out to me as well.

Hope this is bare bones enough for you.

First of all I don't think someone will put a big number of troops on it knowing that he will lose 666 of them at the start of a turn, even if he can deploy 999. Second point if I receive 999 there're plenty better way to use those troops than waste 3/4 of them the next turn, specially because in this case it doesn't matter since dacay brings you to 1 anyway.....is there something I miss apart have those numbers for the gimmick "666 - the number of the beast" thing?

Surely the idea is that by holding the light you will get enough troops to finish off the game. So, in that case, having a decay there is pretty pointless.

And, by the way, in christian mythology the opposite of 666 is 777, not 999. 7 is the number of the light and of perfection. 6 is the number of imperfection.

If I removed the angel and demon territs at the bottom, and made it more normal, then the huge bonus/decay can come back into play. It would seem a better option than having players stuck in limbo if they are knocked of the playing board.

Ah, but threes and nines in Christian mythology are representative of the Holy Trinity (as it is in Dante's Inferno), so it makes sense.

Following on from nobodies advice, I have made the graphics bare so as to concentrate more on the game play side of things. The older versions are the ones with the look but this is the image to work on for now. Text has been made easier to read. Each level now has a lost soul - 2 normal territs - saved soul - 2 normal territs - lost soul and so on around. Bridges have been moved around to make it easier to move and to stop bottlenecks. The rule of lose your angel/demon lose the war has been removed. The bonus/decay for the light has been brought back. A large decay to take the troop numbers down to one and a large bonus to finish the war of.

A couple of pages of comments, in comes the mod to tone down the graphics :evil:

and everything stops with the worst graphics this site has ever seen. :oops:

No support for this now, please bin it.

I think there are a lot of other good topics out there, Koontz.

Keep striving.

I think you can do something with graphics. this is the clearest version

but I also like this except green background. here I agree with natty, red and green is not seemly for eyes (my)...

I do not understand bonuses: Demon and lost souls +2, for how much lost souls you get +2? and why there is also Fight bonus: hold a Demon and any 5 lost souls +5? there is one bonus for this combination...

This map wasn't stamped with the draft stamp yet, so following our guidelines, it can't be labeled as a vacationed project.
I'm going to move it to ideas.
