Last Resort

Mymop, for some reason in your turn you turned two of HB's ocean pieces pink. I've reversed those.

And RG, you spend 135 while you only have 131 resources to spend this turn. So I have also reversed your actions, but you can still retake this turn.

Edit:

Apparently I forgot to post the map.

Just some expanding.

Since I didn't do anything last turn, I still had the 217 resources I did before, plus my production of 215, so 432 in all. I spent 430.

Mymop, you forgot the three areas from you that were conquered, reducing your production by three.

THE REVENGE.



Hey sprout. Let's make a deal that you won't attack me and I won't attack you.

What 3 areas? And if I did spend more than I had let's just say I took over 1 less area of Austria.

Hey HB are you sure you didn't spend a little more than you had? I added up the cost of all the conquering you did and it came to 730, if I counted right. I'm sure you didn't have that many resources.  

Now that I think of it, 730 is twice the amount of resources the chart says HB had. Here's the map without HB's overspending. And Sprout, notice that on this map I control 1 less area of Austria than I did before. You were right, I spent 1 more resource than I had. So I fixed that.

There must have been some confusion. I guess HB counted Mymop's move as invalid, since he didn't have sufficient resources, so she used a previous version of the map. I'm not sure who's already gone now...

Yeah, this is confusing. I'm sure Sprout can sort it out though. Maybe we should just use this map and say that nobody did anything since then.

Yesterday was King's Day in the Netherlands and I've been busy this entire weekend in preparation of it. But yeah, going back two turns was also what I had in mind. I'll set up everything now.

Because of problems, we are moving the game back to turn 20.

The spreadsheet is up to date. The current turn is turn 20. Look here for your current resources.

This is the current map:


This turn ends on Sunday May 3rd.

Hey HB, let's have an agreement; I won't attack you this turn if you don't attack me, alright?

ok mymop.

Hey Sprout, let's say someone takes over a few areas, but still has some resources left over. Can they take over more areas later in that same turn?

@Mymop: Yes they can.

Sorry I haven't updated recently, I've been away this weekend.

Edit: I have no idea actually when I updated and nobody's actually done anything. So are there any complaints if I add two turns of resources to everybody tomorrow (start of next turn)?

Didn't 3 turns go by since May 3rd? But I don't object if you only add 2 turns.

Alright, now 4 turns have gone by since the chart was last updated. So, my total wealth is 1489 resources; 641 from when the chart was last updated, and 848 from the 4 turns that went by since then. That gives me enough resources to completely eliminate HB from the game! Evil laugh!

I also took over Reykjavik, so that brings my spending to a total of 1450.  

Now 10 or 11 turns have gone by since my last post, which brought my production to 384 per turn (yes, I was also surprised, I thought it would be more). Multiply 384 by 10 and you get 3840. If you multiply 384 by 11, you get 4224. Either way, it's enough for me to do this:

I didn't think that I'd have enough resources to do it, but after adding it all up, it came to about 3700 or 3800. And yes, I counted an extra 10 for each time I took over an area of a new country.

Anyways, I win! I have a few ideas for a Europe Map Wars III game, but I want to play Minecraft now, so I'll post them later.

Would anyone be interested in playing another game based on this? I remember that this was a fun game, so I want to do something like it again. Towards the end it got a little boring, but I have an idea which should prevent that from happening again.

i reserve croatia in advance.

I dunno I guess so sure we can play another game of it who else wants to play?

When making this map I couldn't decide whether or not to make Jordan be like Macedonia where it is one province and its capital, or to merge it with Israel, but I merged it with Israel. As for the other two, Saudi Arabia and Iran have their real life capitals not on the map and so my idea with both of them is that they have no country bonus for claiming their two provinces.

This is also why Kazakhstan is merged with Russia (as Astana, its capital, is far off to the east of where the map shows), why Lebanon is merged with Syria, Jordan with Israel, and Saudi Arabia with Iraq, and why Montenegro and Kosovo are merged with Serbia. Macedonia was decided on early and so I didn't go back and change it and merge it with a nearby country, most likely it would've been Serbia or Greece. I couldn't figure out a suitable country to merge Iran with, but now I see that culturally I could've merged it with Azerbaijan, which would have the added bonus of making Azerbaijan one contiguous country.

My idea for the next game of this isn't to play it with the exact same rules. I though maybe we could bring some military forces into the game. Also, maybe we could make certain spaces produce more resources than others (depending on the natural resources in that area in real life). By the end of the last game it got kind of boring; instead of people attacking each other all the time, I basically just waited a few weeks and then completely eliminated other players, one by one. Having military units in the game might stop that from happening.
