Radio Towers

You should see radio towers scattered throughout the map now. These will essentially be used as an excuse to 'clump together' their nearby strategy points.

What I will do (have not yet done) is to reduce the strategy points from tiles near to radio towers, and add these points to the tiles with the towers themselves. So the overall strategic map at a low resolution won't be affected. But at the resolution of individual tiles it will become more varied.

The reason for this is to make a focus for valuable tiles, rather than have a homogeneous region with nothing to distinguish the tiles in it. This should have the effect of focusing battles and decreasing the amount of broad tile conflicts.

Please let me know if you see any areas of the map that could do with 1 or 2 more radio towers.

(Thanks to Harry for this idea, and for the players who discussed it with me yesterday).

:thinking: Sorry I was not apart of the Radio Tower Chat.
Can you elaborate on this a little as I am not clear on the way it will change things.

You'll notice every tile is giving a paltry amount of strategy? Like 7-12 points? The radio towers will centralize all those tiny number of points into an area node, to centralize fighting a bit more and make it less spread out.

So for example instead of 9 wasteland tiles giving 10 strategy each, you'll have 1 central radio tower giving 90. Fairly sure that is the idea anyway.

That's it yes. I'm not planning to leave any tiles with zero, but the bulk of the points will centralize as you explained.
