if it is the same territory, why not use the same texture in the hallway as you have for Jones? This way there will be no mistaken identity.

- The legend should read as follows:
"Capture and hold the outpost commanders, Chard and Bromhead for 1 turn to win.
Zulu kings control each of their iButhos. Kings receive +3 autodeploy.
A king can bombard up to 3 territories away from his iButho."
...and so on.
- The way the bonuses for kings and iButhos are worded is awkward, but a better way of stating it is failing me at present.

TaCktiX wrote:- Is an iButho denoted by its texture swatch? I figure it is, and I'm split between saying that the swatches in the legend are unnecessary (only one king per swatch), and asking for more explanation.
- And this has likely been asked before, but is it REALLY spelled iButho? I feel like it's an Apple announcement for the butane lighter that will revolutionize cigarette smoking.
It could read-
King with every 2 territs =+2 (within the same iButho)
King with every 3 territs =+4 (within the same iButho)
Maybe you should think of something simpler, because even you can't get you own bonuses right.
King with exactly 2 territories within the same iButho = +2
koontz1973 wrote:As you can see, 2 of the 7 iButhos keep the same amount if all territs are held with both the old and new versions. I understand that the new version is easier to read and understand but with 3 of the iButhos having an odd number of territs, these become useless with the new version.

What you have now is a needlessly complicated bonus scheme that no one is going to be able to understand unless you list the whole bonus structure from start to finish on the map. Which would still make it needlessly complicated.
Go with the +2 each 2. The last territory of a bonus won't make a difference, but so what - it's still advantageous to take is since it means your enemy needs to take 2 of your territories to reduce your bonus.
Also, having the bonus increase every 2 territories instead of every territory makes it more strategical.

Changed as well as this is not what I intended. I want only up to 3 within the iButho not outside it. If this can be implemented then great, till then I have said all territs within the iButho. This makes some kings stronger than others so it will have to change.
King with every 2 territories +2
King with every 3 territories +4
(within the same iButho).
British Officers [British Officer icon]
Conquer and hold Chard and Bromhead for one turn to win.
British Front Line [British Front Line icon]
Reset to 5 neutrals.
For your bonus-phrasing, perhaps just edit the bonus itself. I see no need for there to be an additional bonus at each multiple of three to be honest with you. I think the bonus is high enough without it.
im not liking so many union jacks on the map just looks like overkill IMO, and the 150 yard line in the legend is bugging me a bit but if you like it no need to re draw it.
i like what you did with the box around the bonuses in the legend it gives a great contrast that previous versions lacked.As far as the wording for the bonus goes im still trying to figure out how you can word it better(i dont think u can imo).
also shaka and jadzia and xop are immune from decay right? it just says shaka in legend.perhaps it can say shaka's ibutho is immune from decay if jadzia and xop are immune.
As far as bombardments go i was never a fan of it in this map some kings had way more power than others with bombards so i think just take it out completely if more ppl agree.
perhaps also you could make it so they can only bomb a territory 2 territorys away and no further if ppl dont like getting rid of bombardments.
