Sorry cairns, didn't want to overload the beta testing group and I had yet another exam yesterday. :(

Anyway, get these fixes up and it'll go on the beta site!

Bolivian - missing UYU V (image also needs to be adjusted to say 5 stations to hold)
Belem Line is missing FOR B (image adjust to say 7 stations to hold)
Cordoba Line missing UYU T (image update too)
C. American missing MGA H

MAO J is misspelled MAN J
PNZ R should not border REC R

If you can make the non-connection between MGA H and TGU H clearer on the small map, I think it would be good. :)

is there going to be a max on positions? in a 2 player game you drop 88/3 = 29 regions = 9 deploy, a bit high for a first turn imo.

Get these few fixes up and we are gogogo! :)

Thanks Gilligan for examing this.

Will this be suffice?
Code: Select all
<minreinforcement>1</minreinforcement>
<reinforcements>
   <reinforcement>
      <lower>1</lower>
      <upper>29</upper>
      <divisor>7</divisor>

On the second turn you'd have a good chance of getting 10 drop (30 regions).

Maybe just do 1 army for 5 territs? That's 5 on the first turn.

Code: Select all
<minreinforcement>3</minreinforcement>
<reinforcements>
   <reinforcement>
      <lower>1</lower>
      <upper>114</upper>
      <divisor>5</divisor>
   </reinforcement>
</reinforcements>


This gives min 3.

2p = 5 armies
3p = 5 armies
4p = 4 armies
5+ = 3 armies

do you think that is okay? your deploy would go up to 4 when you hit 20 regions.

for reference...if we do 1 for each 4,


Code: Select all
<minreinforcement>3</minreinforcement>
<reinforcements>
   <reinforcement>
      <lower>1</lower>
      <upper>114</upper>
      <divisor>4</divisor>
   </reinforcement>
</reinforcements>


2p = 7 armies
3p = 7 armies
4p = 5 armies
5p = 4 armies
6p+ = 3 armies

your deploy would go up to 4 when you hit 16 regions.

I like this one.
6 armies for 30
7 armies for 35
etc.

alright, let's try that to start. it might be a tad slow in the beginning, but we can amend in the beta phase if we need to speed it up a little. especially in 12p games, where you need 13 regions on top of your starting 7 to go up in deploy (not including bonuses)

make sure you put one army for every 5 territories on the map somewhere!

also, you got all of the fixes in the xml but this:

Belem Line is missing FOR B

then we can go beta!
