The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

1.1 only has 4.5 corners you can safely be in, meaning someone is going to get screwed unless you have leaver. That's why brown and black need extra income.

Normally I played 1.1 with income balance 0 +1 +2 +3 +6 +9, black and brown really do need extra income to survive.

Not all games of conquest end in bickering, name calling and blood vendettas.

Not with only 1 unit there, and if someone focused on switzerland instead of securing a corner they would wind up pretty dead.

I said it increased it because I had 1 german village next to 2 empty switzerland villages, previously someone else would have taken one of them, instead I could grab both of them on the second turn. Maybe it doesn't increase it overall, but it's still not fixed as well as I'd like.

Final Thought.

Max Players for the map should be 5. The later you start the more free income, or possibly you should have an extra village so you can claim a corner. The corner bonuses should be reduced slightly and the middle ones increased.

Turn 12 I secure russia and leave holland, at first I was going to leave benelux to green, but purple is now losing badly to him so I leave it for him. I recruit a general in belgium so green doesn't take it. Blue continues to kill purple. Green reinforces. Purple counterattacks in germany. Green ca...

Turn 11 I take russia. Blue attacks purple. Green takes switzerland and pushes into germany. Purple blocks blue and puts up a token defence in germany. Purple is looking much weaker than previous turns. I'm well in first place and at peace with everyone. Unless green and purple ally now I've won. ht...

Turn 10 An interesting turn of events. With blue wanting me to take russia, purple says he will fight me for it if I do. I wait for greens input on the situation as purple taking russia would make purple very powerful. Green decides in my favour, I offer to give him benelux after I get russia to kee...

Turn 9

I withdraw from benelux to the UK to signal my neutrality to purple, leaving a lt. on both villages. Blue and purple fight it out in russia while green takes italy. Blue wants me to take russia.

Lets take a minute to look at the status of the game. Black finished in 6th, Brown in 5th.

Turn 8 I take benelux as agreed and reinforce ukraine due to blues 2nd general. Brown quits the game and I droid him, green was going to crush him in italy anyway. Blue puts his generals on the border with me and does a weak counterattack in poland. Pretty silly seeing purple has already announced h...

Turn 7 I move my forces from switzerland to benelux on good faith, I was worried about a backstab from purple so I reinforced the uk as well as putting a general in the ukraine to counter blues general. Blue recruits a second general to defend russia, but barely defends poland. Green secures the fra...

Turn 6 I continue to reinforce, I'm friendly to purple and green and have a nap with blue and brown so there is really nowhere to expand. Blue gets the russia bonus and recuirts a general in response to my lieutenants guarding my border. Green pushes into france hard and makes blue lose his poland b...
