What is wrong with this picture?

Remember the Sunday paper quiz? Does anyone see anything horribly wrong here?

Sorry probably not a great comparison to the sunday quizzers - finding something odd wrong with a picture in the sunday paper-

This picture is from a game I was playing-something I did in the game created a horrible situation...

Is it the mined square on the lower right of your funky island that you left unguarded?

 

[Craterus22]

it is related to that

The english can't land on your island because they don't have marines that can assault from a ship. Thats a standard tatic of mine. If the drop zone isnt a free square normal units can not disembark a ship.

The tile SW of Edo is unoccupied, so the English CAN land. What else could it be??

BTW, preventing huge landing forces from disembarking because a worker or scout occupies a tile is stupid. That's something else that needs to be worked on.

D9 got it


Z - the spearman is highlighted with a full move yet...

I thought I had made a good map for testing out lighthouse advantages with equivalent start islands for potnential multiplayer use...

Too bad no one will be able to invade for 2000 years... I guess Firaxis doesn't think that amphibious landings occured before WWII?

At the very least - each age should have a unit that can fight units on land while they are disembarking from ships(at a huge disadvantage of course)...

The english started out heading toward Kagoshima - as I continued to place units on the shoreline - the ship continued around the entire island until it reached its current position.

I still love the map that I made and hope that I will still enjoy playing on it (it minimizes contact early on and stops the ICS until the NewWorld is "discovered"- but I just have to play without putting the units on the shoreline

Its also too bad that I don't have the time to edit the units in the game extensively - perhaps I will be able to work on this over the next 6 months or so a little bit at a time?

It will be just like work... and I only paid $59 for the honor! sheesh

Funny I thought it was that a none expansionist Civilization has an explorer...
