It is actually +3 - +1 for holding 2 capitals, and +2 for holding capitals on an interstate


Whenever I hold the capitals of Minnesota and Iowa, the map gives me "+4 for holding capitals along hwy 35".

Ive also previously received a +6 for capitals along 95 when only holding 5 capitals.

Well, remember that DC is a capital along 95.

<territory>Augusta (Maine)</territory>
<territory>Boston</territory>
<territory>Providence</territory>
<territory>Trenton</territory>
<territory>D.C.</territory>
<territory>Richmond</territory>
<territory>Raleigh</territory>

this is correct.

As far as 35,

<territory>Saint Paul</territory>
<territory>Des Moines</territory>
<territory>Oklahoma City</territory>
<territory>Austin</territory>

this is also correct. if you can show us in a game, that would be good because the XML shows it is correct.

I was counting DC.

Game 13564186 just gave me +4 along 35 and I only hold 3 of the 4 capitals. The game is foggy, but the bug seems easily and reliably reproducible in every game.

Wow, Ive had easier times getting customer service from call center workers.

Im afraid we're going in circles here. I came to report a bug, have repeated all the relevant info, and have now reached the limits of my interest and patience.

Its a wonderful map, congratulations! Best of luck with the rest of it.

I'm sorry, you have not repeated all of the relevant info. If I can't see the map, how can I confirm that it isn't working properly?

It's part of the procedure to provide a screenshot to make sure that 1) it is indeed a bug, or 2) you are making a mistake somewhere and I can tell you exactly what that is.

Exactly! Now if you can please provide a screenshot to Gilligan and myself so we can take a look at it. If customer service asks you to provide more information, and you don't provide the necessary info, how do you expect them to help you? We are asking for more information so we can help you.

They've been that way for a while now. They were coded wrong from the beginning. The OP has all the values listed.

I'm sure it's been noted somewhere already, but the numbers need to be re-centered. With the bonus issue I'm sure this falls low on the priority list, it's just my OCD bothering me when I look at this map. :lol:

If you are meaning the numbers when you have less than 3 digits (2 with the color code turned on) then no they are that way on purpose. I had the 3 digit numbers centered in the ovals because in most places the numbers are on top of the interstates, I did it this way on purpose.

My bad, I was following what was showing in the Statistics section - that's only reporting 1, but I now that the actual received is correct.
Regarding Pershing - he just took his 4th State Capital, so he'll get 2 next turn.

Thanks for clearing it up - only a cosmetic flaw.

its great to have another large map, especially one of such a high caliber - congrats!

in game log, could the state be added after the city? as someone who is USA-geographically challenged, it takes quite some time to find which cities were lost.

thnx for the consideration.

Yes, I have considered this and have not had the time to do such a big update. I can probably do this next week.

In the meantime you can use map indicators or built in bob :)
