KPUD home page http://w3.one.net/~billw/KPUD ================================================================================ PUD Name: Battle on War Lake Author: Jonathan Schneider (jschneid@umich.edu) Nickname: Magius File Name: KPwrlake.pud Description: War Lake by Magius Dimensions: 128 x 128 Terrain: Forest No Players: 4 % Open Land: 49 % Forest: 20 % Water: 27 % Mountains: 4 Total Gold: 580,000 (13 mines) Total Oil: 220,000 (4 patches) Total Lumber: 260,400 Start Mines: 55,000 Other Mines: 25,000 - 120,000 Default Res: G=2200 L=3000 O=2000 Default Unit: 1 Peasant, 1 Ballista, 1 Farm, 1 Town Hall Description: This PUD is somewhat unique to my knowledge, because it offers equal opportunity to attack over land and over water. Each player starts with a town hall which is on the shore of a large circular lake in the center of the board. Players may reach each other by building ships early to attack other player's town halls, or by building land units and moving them around the various obstacles to reach the other towns on land. Because the starting positions are defensible to land attack but somewhat vulnerable to water attack, this PUD strikes an excellent balance between being a land level and a water level, simultaneously. An added bonus for having water superiority is being able to access the 120,000 gold mine in an island on the center of the lake. Game Setup: Starting positions are adjacent so fixed order, TVB, would place allies next to each other.
