No, I don't want to copy cairnswk, I like squares. Hexagons would allow diagonal attacks and then I'd need to seriously redo the layout, instead of kind of needing to redo it like right now.

It wouldn't be copying, it would be (kinda) like settlers of Catan :)

You know there is no way I'm changing this to hexagons at this point right? If you want a hexagon version you're going to have to make it.

I don't really like hexagons. :(

It'll look good when it's done. You should see the top secret large version.

Actually you will, but not for a few days at least. :P

I want the small version to be cool first. Then you get to see the tiles in their non-resized glory.

+2 to deploy anywhere for taking 4 territories of yet to be determined neutral value is too high?

Also, expect warehouses on the airlifts, or at least warehouse looking hangers (although they haven't been drawn yet.)

Maybe even a severely damaged warehouse or two in the wilderness.

Yes.

Question for the people at home. Should I change a lot of the wilderness nobody is ever going to use into water or obstacles?

It would increase the amount of tiles/art needed but would probably make the xml nicer by a few hundred lines.

Areas I'd probably remove (blue water) (red obstacle):

Not a bad idea...

Especially as accruing territories isn't going to increase your boney arse.

Are the roads any different from standard squares? They could be like the Cavalry on the Waterloo map and be able to attack further along the road.

The roads are different in that they are only going to have a single neutral on them. The wilderness is probably going to have anywhere from 6 to 10 neutrals a piece depending on how much I want to discourage people from crossing it at select points.

The factories players can't start with are going to have 2 neutral is all.

The airlifts are going to have 2-3 neutral (2 where it touches the road, 3 in the other three spots). or 1-2 neutral. Not sure if making someone eat 11 is fair for +2.

The layout is also subject to change as I may increase the possible starting factories from 6 to 8.

If you're gonna make this 8p compatible - then you're gonna need torejig it...

At the moment their are only 6 airlifts - although I think you'd be better off reducing that to 4 and have some fighting over them...

I like having 6.

I'm going to stick with 6 players I decided and if it works out well I will make an 8 player version that is a little bigger.
