I understood it clearly before, but I think the wording could be improved on the black hole bonus. why not just leave it at "-3 per bonus area held"? that is how most other maps do it.

im taking a page out of 8 thoughts with the -amount per bonus area held, but I want a flat rate negative so that if someone holds it but doesnt have any other constellations, they will still get the negative...

Here is an alternate legend...
which do people like more??

eh, i dunno... i kind of think the black hole is a little excessivly complicated, but that might just be my stupidity and laziness showing. i think it would be easier to simply have 10 neutrals on there that respawn every turn , similar to the walls on the maze craze map or something, rather than messing with people's bonuses

[rsacheli]

i just overrode the previous... how is that for readable??

Anyone else have thoughts on the Black hole bonus thing????

Make it a negative bonus per continent held, not the whole "+ # of continent held"

Simply have it read: "-5 per bonus region held"

[bbqpenguin]

also, i like the individual bonuses thing. later i will go back and make sure the bonuses seem balanced but for now i think they're legit and good looking.

I want there to be a negative just for holding it even if no additional bonuses are held... how would you suggest I do this?

well if you're set on the idea, maybe something like....

"-3 bonus, plus - 3 per bonus region held" or something.

did you arbitratilly assign the constellations to elements or is there actually some historical significance to that?

[rsacheli]

I did a simple search and this is the elements that are generally accepted across the interweb

The jury is still out on the black hole issue...

But lemme see if I get these bonuses right.
Let's say I hold Pisces, Scorpio, and Cancer.
For holding each of those, I'll get a total of 20 armies.
Is the Elemental (or Seasonal, as the case may be) bonus on top of that, leading to me actually getting 33 armies?

There is way too much glow going on here.

That is correct, the seasonal/elemental bonuses are in addition to the bonuses recieved by the individual constellations. Is that too much?

i kind of don't think so. it'll still be very difficult to hold 1 individual constellation, and the difficulty of getting an element makes it that much harder because of the amount of borders you'd have to maintain. seasons should be easier to hold than elements (fewer borders to defend) so i think you should decrease the bonus for holding them so that they're a bit lower than the element bonuses

Makes sense... will incorporate in next update

[benny profane]

Agreed. I would tentatively suggest:
Summer +8
Fall +8
Winter +7
Spring +7

Summer +8
Fall +8
Winter +7
Spring +7

how did you determine these values?

I was thinking more like:
Summer +6
Fall +8
Winter +7
Spring +8

And those might even bee too high

[benny profane]

I just went by the number of borders each season (in total) would have to defend.
They do run high, but to hold a season means you are holding A LOT of territories.
That would probably be an end game situation, so the high added bonus of the season would sort of have an effect like escalating cards. Anyways, it's just a suggestion, and I'm sure there will be plenty of discussion on bonuses to come.
