Asia Map

[Ereandil]

Can I attack from Malaysia to Burma?

[Marvaddin]

No, man. If Im not wrong, Malaysia can only attack Thailand.

Oh, my... Asia is a good map, but Siam is so confusing...

[Ereandil]

thank you. i was not sure. i wouldn't think you could attack japan from ussr but you can. so i thought i might have some luck.

[anglophileRVK]

Why is there no attack line between Hokkaido & Sakhalin?

[Axelius]

Cause you can't attack over there? maybe he wanted you to be forced to fight through japan...

[wicked]

Yes you can.

... Just a couple of Asian map queries.

1. What countries in Siam border Yunnan? It's very hard to tell.
2. I heard a rumor there is a on-way connection between Sinkiang and Tadzhik? Is this so? And if so, which direction?

Any input would be appreciated. I discovered the Sakhalin-Hokkaido connection the hard way.

[SmoKer]

Well, I found out about the connection between Yunnan and Thailand the hard way. I had 6 armys both on Burma and Laos thinking they blocked access to Siam and only had 1 army each on the inside countries, but nooo!....logged in to find I had been gutted out by that non-connection connection. There's a 100 miles at least that separates China from Thailand if you look at an atlas.

[Zepy12]

so what IS going on with Siam? the borders are very difficult to see...and now you are saying there is a non connection connection? ouch.

I'm holding siam right now...but now I don't know if I'm defending it....

I think the Asia map has alot of issues with it.... I think that someone needs to fix it. Most people I believe aren't aware of the Magic teleporters that cross open space... ..... As far as I am aware... this isn't Star Trek Risk.... lol... .

I think someone needs test all attack routes in Asia map. It seems that map has many bugs.

[zorba_ca]

I've tested out almost all of them (I think). The following are permissible.

Sakahlin -- Hokkaido, North Korea
Maylasia -- Thailand ONLY
Burma -- Laos & Thailand (NOT Vietnam)
Cambodia -- Laos, Thailand, Vietnam
Laos -- Burma, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia
Thailand -- Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia (NOT Vietnam)
Yunnan -- Burma, Vietnam, Laos (NOT Thailand)

Some have suggested otherwise, but until a recent Game Log arises that proves differently, I treat this as definitive. Please note that I state "Recent Game Log" because at one point the map and borders were revised.

[Marvaddin]

Are some of these routes bugs or should all be as they already are???

[zorba_ca]

Whether or not they are bugs is a question for the programmer.

I can say that to the best of my knowledge all these routes exist on actual maps.

2. I heard a rumor there is a on-way connection between Sinkiang and Tadzhik? Is this so? And if so, which direction?

The rumor was true
I fixed it now - they are separated by a mountain chain

[lackattack]

I put in a new version of the map with an attack line between Hokkaido & Sakhalin and a clearer Siam region. If you don't see it, reload your browser. Also put in new USA and Classic maps.
