Conquer Club

From game 1691040.

I can't see on the key any details of why someone should get a -1 bonus for territory count. Am I missing something?

It's explained in the legend - due to the large amount of territories on the map - the more you hold the less you get...

It is in the bottom right hand corner.

Sorry but that still doesn't explain it.

Turn 3 for Red:

33 territories: 33/4 should be 8 armies but red got 11-1=10

Turn 4 for red: 32/4 should be 8 but red got 10

Eh?

It works like this: for the first 30, you get 1 for each 3. For the next 30, you get one for each 4. So, in your example, he has 33, so he gets 1 for each 3 in the first thirty, hence 10, and 1 for each 4 in the next thirty, hence 0. It's poorly worded in the legend, but they mean you to infer this.

Baldadonis is correct.

If it were done the way you have it - it would mean that as soon as took the 31st territory - then you would lose armies... which is not conducive to deciding a game!!

Understand now. The Legend is shockingly bad.

Thanks

the entire map is bad

Is that it? You've just explained one of the mysteries of CC to me, BA. Not that I have any intention of playing CM any time soon, unless I feel like endurance testing a new version of firefox or something.

Me as well, I didn't know about that.
