Too bad...

Thanks, josko.ri -- I have made several scenarios that are fun against the CC bots, but they need to be tested by humans. Some of them are available in the scenario list (e.g. "World Today") but that doesn't seem to be working very well.

How can privately-developed Beta scenarios be advanced to public availability, so that they can be playtested by anyone?

I would like to see more Scenarios for everyone to try, not just Beta testers. Could that be some kind of event?

Still hoping this map could be advanced to Beta before 2035...

I like to create scenarios at the Beta site. I made one called "E. Hemisphere Imperialism" using this map, with one human (me) vs. all nine bots, is challenging and fun even though the bots are stupid. So far I haven't played it against other humans.

I've worked on several scenarios but only a few ...

Are there any geographical barriers (mountains or forest) that would appear on the map? At first glance it resembles the Madagascar map -- it's also an island nation.

Now I hope 2022 is the year that this map can be advanced to beta. Is there anything I can do to help?

I don't mind seeing the Ukrainian flag, but what happened to the Elements graphic?

This map should be beta-tested soon, before more new elements are synthesized! Element 119 would begin period 8 ...

Is there any progress on this map? It's been more than a year...

As you know, iancanton --

I have made some scenarios. I designated them as "all human"... however some of them appear as Bot games in the Beta system scenario list. Whenever I make them "all human" and try to re-submit them, they revert to Bot games. It's frustrating.

Of course, in order to "Test ...

It seems like creating multiple "cc_tester" accounts, and then logging in and out for each turn on each account, would be a very time-consuming process...

Of course I have used the bots for testing my scenarios, but they are fairly stupid, and it's not a real playtest.

[quote="iancanton"]it's possible to make use of the dummy test players cc_tester_1, cc_tester_2 and so on. alternatively, use bots to substitute for some of the human players. [/quote]

Ian, who are these "dummy" test players?-- cc_tester_1, etc. Are they bots, too? Are they real people? How we use ...

Reading and thinking...

Maybe the bonus for Eastern Orthodox could be increased to 3.

Actually that "Victors United" map IS in color, once the game starts. The territory colors are shades of yellow, blue, and green that blend together nicely. The B&W map is only for display.

Thanks to iancanton (or whoever did it). Some of my scenarios are now available on the Beta site for playtesting. Some of them are bot games, others aren't.
I invite anyone to give them a try!

I hope 2021 is the year that this Elements map is advanced to beta, so we can try it out.

Apparently I can now see some of my scenarios under "Start Games" & "Scenarios" -- but when I start a game, it says: "Leave this page open! Please keep this window open to be alerted when your game is ready." Does that mean I have to leave that window open for hours or days until enough people join?

Okay. When I created a new "test" map for testing in Beta, I specified all players to be Human.... but whenever I start a new game in Beta on my "Calipocalypse" scenario, the Human positions (other than myself) are automatically filled by bots, so how can someone else can join the test game?

Can ...

I'm still confused about how to invite Beta team members to test my scenarios. When I hit "create game" for a scenario, it fills all the slots in my all-human version with bots.... so how can I invite anyone?

My scenario "Arctic War" (based on the Arctic map) was released several months ago -- it's ...

Okay. That makes sense. I should've read your first post more carefully.

In case you're interested, there's another small "Risk"-type site that has a Ukraine map... along with maps of Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Iran, and other nations. Unfortunately that site is very slow.
Here it is: http://victorsunited.com/Map/List

Nice map idea! But when will it show the regional bonus amounts?

I don't think Kiev should be in the death zone. After all, the Chernobyl event was 34 years ago, and Kiev is now a modern capital city of 3 million people.

Also maybe you could call it "Kyiv" (its romanized Ukrainian name).

What? No "Z" tert?
Maybe Z could be a ship in the ocean that attacks the 6 coastal terts (A, B, C, N, O, R) -- but can only be attacked from the non-swamp coastal terts (B, C, O, R). It would not be part of a continent bonus, e.g. like the "Rio de la Plata" tert on the Triple Alliance map.

I like a ...

What will it take to get this map to the Beta stage so we can all try it out?

Several Beta games have been played, or are in progress. What's the next step?
