Napoleonic Empires: Free For All


  • @Veqryn:

    if the convoy is only worth 4, then spain really has very little reason to go navy

    I disagree with this, Spain needs a navy anyway to fight against UK in Mediterranean sea. Also, even with a value of just 4 (and the french one of 6 if you ally with them), you have incentive to buy boats

    If Spain invests just in land, what is going to do, fight France, the last power that Spain would like to fight?


  • I think Spain SHOULD have good moneys in that convoy without the -10.

    Maybe reduce that value to 8 IPCs, but Spain need some money as he is in a very bad position (he’s close to the two strongest countries!)

  • Customizer

    alright alright, you’ve convinced me,

    the next version of this will have the convoy of spain go down to 8 pu’s, and also slightly reduced territory values in spain, but no negative objective for spain

    (the negative objectives for uk and france will stay though)

  • TripleA

    I have a negative objective??? oh man -.-

  • TripleA

    how do I know which one it is??? map no say -.-


  • Really Cow? How many times does Veqr have to spell it out for you?

  • TripleA

    i keep forgetting.

  • Customizer

    it is in the game notes as well.

    france has a -6 national objective, that for as long as you control your capital you get -6 every turn in order to balance out the increased values of your 3 convoy zones

    uk has a -4 national objective, that for as long as i control my capital, i get -4 every turn, in order to balance out the increased values of my 2 convoy zones

    since you will always control your capital (or you won’t be collecting any money anyway), you can’t do anything about it
    this is on purpose

    so just ignore it and play

  • TripleA

    yeah but it no say which one it is.

  • Customizer

    which one what is?

    which convoy?  it is not based on a convoy, it is based on your capital.

    which national objective?  it is at the end of your turn summary, and also in the game notes.  it is called “balancing convoy objective”.

    if it helps, don’t think of it is an objective.


  • The bad thing is that if you lose your convoy you lose a LOT more.

    Spain = 12 IPCs convoy + 10IPCs “balancing” = -22 IPCs. wow!

  • TripleA

    there are two french convoy zones. which 1 i wan?


  • You want all of them. The balancing takes place regardless of which convoy you control and/or which of the enemy convoys you control. As Veqr said, you CAN’T do anything about it.

  • TripleA

    ??? so I need both or 1? or what?

  • TripleA

    which 1 should I take back first? I take austra soon so i put put now.


  • REALLY REALLY?

    THEY ARE ALL WORTH THE SAME TO YOU! YOU CAN’T AFFECT THE NEGATIVE NO REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU DO! YOU’RE STUCK WITH IT UNTIL PARIS FALLS, YOU WIN THE GAME, OR SOMEONE ELSE WINS!

  • Customizer

    france,

    you have 3 convoys

    each are worth 6 PUs

    if you have them all, you are getting +18 pu

    if you have none you are getting 0 PUs

    which one should you take back first?  well, they are all the same, so take back whichever one is easiest to take back….


  • @Veqryn:

    alright alright, you’ve convinced me,

    the next version of this will have the convoy of spain go down to 8 pu’s, and also slightly reduced territory values in spain, but no negative objective for spain

    (the negative objectives for uk and france will stay though)

    This seems ok. However, don’t reduce values for Gibraltar and Lisbon, or Spain is going to have a hard time to buy navy…

  • TripleA

    oh they are all worth the same. it no say dat.


  • In this topic COW reminds me Peter Griffin when he forgot how to sit down.
