Why would you want n1 on bratislava? especially if he plans to make the capitals into auto deploys that would no be a good balance i don't think.

after u are able to spend more time on the map, u can add the auto-deploy and improved explanation of attacks.

I can do all changes (graphics, xml) at onece. the problem is not free time, but I changed my hard disc and I lost much things.
please be patient, the old broken hard disc has my friend who will save some data.

correct! bratislava remains neutral in most games, so i suggested n1 without auto-deploy as a quick way to bring bratislava into play without changing the graphics of the map. however, oneyed says he'll be able to change both the xml and graphics soon, after he recovers his files.

Ian, if you have time, you might want to check the data from my Presov tournament:
http://www.conquerclub.com/player.php?gn=&hr=N&to=DKs+CSFR+series+03+-+Pre%C5%A1ov&lb=&p1=&p2=&p3=&p4=&order=D&submit=Search&uid=484577&mode=find
One of my goals in that tournament was to incentivize capturing the capitals. You might want to see what percentage of those who capture and early capital go on to win the game. I don't have time to do any number-crunching this week, but if somebody else could, that would be great.

My theory is that adding an autodeploy to the capitals is better than reducing the starting neutrals. However, it would be good if someone would check the data. I'll get to it when I can, but if you guys are this close to making an irrevocable decision then you should have a look.

I would also prefer autodeploys for capitals instead of reducing the neutral count on capitals

Are you going to make the auto deploy added to capitals soon or are you trying the capitals out at n2 first? What is your plan?

on cairnswk's cricket map, the bowler +2 auto-deploy used to be ignored in most games because it started with n3 neutrals. after cairnswk changed the bowler to start as n1, players stopped complaining about that map. i recommend that both capitals start with n2 neutrals.

Nice Map. Played a Poly game on it for the first time.

I didn't quite get the region bonuses. In particular, it is either not clear or not obvious which Kraj are Czech and which Kraj are Slovak.

I love the different ways off attacking neighbouring Kraj.

The two little inset maps (top right and bottom left) show you the Czech and Slovak parts of the the country, respectively.

Also, the borders between Kraje are broken lines, while the main border between the Czech and Slovak areas is a solid line. That's a little harder to see, though. When in doubt, check those inset maps.

A little question about the map. The towers must be adjacent to receive the bonus? It's my first time on the map and I saw that the bonus is not being computed.

Game: 14740151 (https://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=14740151)

"Dualta" starts with Liberec, Kladno, Olomouc and Ostrava, all the towers in the Czech Republic. If I understand correctly, he should get "+1 with every four towns in the CR"

Thanks in advance!

You must hold either a province or the capital to collect a bonus for the towns. So, with what you're listing above, you do not have a bonus. There's a few ways you could get one:
  1. Capture the Severo Moravsky Kraj (SMK on the map) to complete "Kraj and two towns" (Olomouc and Ostrava that you have in the SMK) then complete another "Kraj and two towns" somewhere else on the Czech side. Since you have Liberec and Kladno, you could
    • capture SČK (Severočeský kraj) and Ústí n/Labem to complete "Kraj and two towns" in the SČK, or
    • capture StČK (Středočeský kraj) and Beroun to complete "Kraj and two towns" for StČK
    The combination of 2 times "Kraj and two towns" gives you a +4 bonus, probably the most common way to get a bonus on the Czech side.

    Your other option is
  2. Capture the Czech capital (Praha) to collect the "+1 for Praha and 4 towns" bonus.

It's a pretty complex bonus structure, but since you're high rankers, I imagine you appreciate complexity...:)

the darker solid border between the czech and slovak republics looks good. for the bonus wording, i prefer +1 autodeploy (no s on the end because only one troop is being auto-deployed).

have u tested the new xml (which seems to be correct) on the test site? after fixing the bonus legend, this is the next step, to help to prevent unexpected things from happening in a live beta game (such as troop counts appearing outside of their boxes or games failing to start properly). if u haven't used the test site before, then Gilligan or RedBaron0 can help u.

are there any feedbacks after change of xml, where capitals are +1 autodeploy?
what I know players like it.
could capitals start as n3? is it not too much +1 with 4 towns and +1 autodeploy for region which starts n2?
