Game 5136 - SNAPSHOT TEST

[Ry Vor]

Not thinking of this as a real game. After all, we did start with 3 kingdoms in our region . Would not happen in an actual game.

I understand.  Still, I think the test game for the new mapping software looks like a great improvement to the Alamaze experience and will continue to get better.

While one objective of the Game Creator was to allow a lot of flexibility in creating games, we get into too many extended debates on game formats instead of starting games - see the new Alliance game.

I'd like to see the game creator have default settings for the main types without requiring all the optional selections, and those options are just used on rare occasions.  So having two non-dispersed kingdoms in the same region generally is not a normal game type.

I would have liked to have seen the snapshot continue to be improved and tested in this game. Since its been added to all new games now, this game is no longer relavent. I think it still needs some changes as stated previously. It will be a great tool to attract a new player base and a big plus to use in advertising. For me its currently not as good as other map systems for game play. It does make a great backup map or if needed to access your map on the fly.

[Calidor]

Yeah if Mike or RyVor want to make tweaks to the map while we go I say just do it. That's what the game was made for.
My thoughts are similar to Rellgar's. Its a nice addition but right now it can't replace the manual maps... at least for me.

I'm not in the test but have used snapshot in  several games.  It is a very nice improvement but would be even better if it was interactive and we could mark it up and save it.  One thing I find is when an artifact is claimed the square goes blank and stays that way.  It would nice to mark it explored.  I'm not sure what happens to destroyed pc?  I have not had any in my games yet.

I agree, maybe once the US has been taken, it could show the no Artifact icon?  Would that be hard?

Destroyed PC shows as ruins

My butt is been handed to me as if in a real game.....

Well, you DID talk a little smack. It was fun taking your capital I admit.

The Lizard and the Underworld would disagree with you. Welcome to the party in Northern Mist. Maybe soon we would have a 5th or a 6th Visitor.

Let’s be clear. Your greed provoked my attack. Lesson taught, even if it cost me.

I am a little lost in all this. You get pissed because I resist your attempts to take my town in Oakland. After some resistance I quit  (bad mistake I take note: in the future crush enemies).

Red Dragon got pissed because I planned to attack him. Couldn't know he was already overcome with DE and WA. Changed plans and decide together RD and me can take DE and WA (second bad mistake only attack a region if you can put it out of control). And make sure your ally will help you. This one you should learn too. 

Suprised by Lizard and you showing up have to gave up in Eastern Steppes.

A pitty the DE came to collect my soul. I think I was doing fine against your half hearted movements.

I am having lots of fun. Maybe I can resist until DA could come to the party.
